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 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

There is no escape.

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

[Sukadev Goswami to Maharaj Pariksit]: "'Whatever result was obtained in Satya-yuga by meditating on Visnu, in Treta-yuga by performing sacrifices and in Dvapara-yuga by seeing the Lord's lotus feet can also be obtained in Kali-yuga simply by chanting the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.'"

Srimad Bhagvatam 12.3.52

"'Whatever is achieved by meditation in Satya-yuga, by the performance of yajïa in Tretä-yuga or by the worship of Krsna's lotus feet in D
