There was a great rumor that the five Pandava brothers, along with their mother Kunti, had, under the plan of Dhrtarastra, died in a fire accident in the house of shellac in which they were living. But then the five brothers were detected at the marriage ceremony of Draupadi; so again another rumor spread that the Pandavas and their mother were not dead. It was a rumor, but actually it was so; they returned to their capital city, Hastinapura, and people saw them face to face. When this news was |

In this world, everyone of us like to be free. A child going to school thinks that he/she can become free once they get out of school. A student going to college, who is taxed by assignments and exams think that he will become free once he gets a job. A person after getting job thinks that he can become free, once he retires. Not just human beings, even birds or animals trap
"Go on with sankirtana activities as you have been doing and let them arrest us if they like. We will not stop. Better to forget this business of lawyers and judges and simply go on with sankirtana. That is Civil Disobedience Movement. Let them fill their jails with us again and again" - Srila Prabhupada, from a letter to Caru

Simply engage yourself in Krishnas service. That will protect you from any attack of maya. Maya can take Krishnas place in our heart as soon as there is a slackness on our part. Otherwise, if Krishnas seated always, maya has no opportunity to occupy the seat.

Many moons ago, a senior journalist from Hyderabad was in Bhuvaneswar.

Hankering after material happiness is called lust, and lusty activities are sure to meet with frustration in the long run. The body of a snake is very cool, but if a man, wanting to enjoy this coolness, garlands himself with a venomous snake, he will surely be killed by the snake’s venomous bite. The material senses are compared to snakes; indulgence in material happiness will surely kill our spiritual identity. Therefore a sane man should be ambitious to find the real source of happiness.
