THE JIVA IS THE ETERNAL SERVANT OF SRI KRSNA. Without BHAKTI everything is destroyed. The tree of BHAKTI , BHAKTI VRKSA, gives the fruit of prema. that fruit is proyajna or the final goal of life.That krsna prema is our eternal wealth , in comparison to which BHUKTI & MUKTI are insignificant. Sri Krsna is sat , cit & ananda. He is like sun, the jivas are like rays of sun MAYA is the shadow. The jiva is the tatastha energy of the lord & due to marginal nature, when he comes in contact with maya s
Food is Death - Eat drink and be sorry.Food not offered to Krishna is as good as poison.If you try to offer meat fish and eggs to Krishna, beware you will be in deep trouble soon.You have limited choice about what to offer, just offer only pure vegetarian food cooked in a clean atmosphere.
Food is Death-Amazing but true, this is what the yogis say. Once I was travelling up a mountain in the area famous for Jim Corbett's tiger spottings. Mukteshwar is a lovely place to visit, and a yogi used to li

Where is the religion which does not recognize God? One may call God "Allah" or "Krishna" or something else, but where is that religion which does not recognize God? We are teaching that one should simply try to love God. We are attracted by so many things, but if our love is reposed in God, then we will be happy. We don't have to learn to love anything else; everything else is automatically included. Just try to love God. Don't try to love just trees or plants or insects. This will never satisf
A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. 'You are employed' he said. Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.
The man replied 'But I don't have a computer, neither an email'. 'I'm sorry', said the HR manager. If you don't have an email that means you don’t exist. And who doesn't exist, can’t have the job.'
The man left with
The holy name, character, pastimes and activities of Kṛiṣhṇa are all transcendentally sweet like sugar candy. Although the tongue of one afflicted by the jaundice of avidya [ignorance] cannot taste anything sweet, it is wonderful that simply by carefully chanting these sweet names every day, a natural relish awakens within his tongue, and his disease is gradually destroyed at the root.

Sri Prahlada prayed to Nrsimhadeva: “O my Lord, O Supreme Personality of
Godhead, original spiritual master of the entire world, what is the
difficulty for You, who manage the affairs of the universe, in delivering
the fallen souls engaged in Your devotional service? You are the friend of
all suffering humanity, and for great personalities it is necessary to show
mercy to the foolish. Therefore I think that You will show Your causeless
mercy to persons like us, who engage in Your service--the service
I wanted to chant with care in my moral and spiritual feelings toward Nama Prabhu. Seeing Radha-Govinda helped because They are tenderness personified. I wanted to chant like a lover. I chanted in a subdued way, because I had to because of my head. But it also lent itself towards feelings of warmth and sympathy, gentle and delicate. One should handle the holy name in that way. It was a nice feeling. I’d like to always chant in that way.
From Japa Transformations
by Satsvarupa dasa Goswami
The so-called happy materialistic person is constantly having to endure the threefold miseries of life, called adhidaivika, adhyatmika and adhibhautika.Actually no one can counteract these threefold miseries. All three may assail one at one time, or one misery may be absent and the other present. Thus the living entity is full of anxiety, fearing misery from one side or the other. The conditioned soul must be disturbed by at least one of these three miseries. There is no escape.

The nature of the mind is that, because of not finding inner fulfillment, it gets the tendency to make insignificant things seem very important. As long as we don’t focus our consciousness on higher principles, these little things appear insurmountable.

In the body parts why ears are given so much importance?
The recent out-break of E.coli in Europe, due to bacterial contamination in
vegetables caused death of 18 people. Immediately people started convincing
others and there were lots of news in electronic and mass media, spreading
rumors that vegetables are not at all suitable for human consumption. This
is the height of demoniac mentality.
Birth and death of any living entity is as per Krishna's plan and all the
reasons we see for its cause like disease, accident, murder etc, are mere
external reasons. Hu

We can all go on answering each question for all of eternity but we won't be finished. Lord Seshashayi is chanting the Lord's glories for all of eternity and has never repeated Himself but hasn't run out of things to say. :-)
In fact, a pure devotee does not desire any type of liberation. A pure devotee simply seeks service for its own sake. And the service given by a pure devotee of th
