One who has unflinching devotion for the Supreme Lord and is directed by the
spiritual master, can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead by revelation. For
one who does not take personal training under the guidance of a bona fide
spiritual master, it is impossible to even begin to understand Krsna.

The whole business of spiritual life is to give up material desires, and if you are maintaining material desires in spite of chanting the Hare Krsna mantra, then spiritual progress will become very very difficult.

SURRENDER

My mind, my body, my hearth and shore,
I offer it to your lotus feet, o Nandakishore.

In goodtimes or badtimes in life or in death,
Of your two merciful feet, I am in debt.

Kill me or protect me its your wish alright,
As I am your eternal servant it is your supreme right.

If I do have to take birth again,

(Ulagrama) in the Nadia district of Bengal. He was the seventh son of Raja 

Krsnananda Datta, a great devotee of Lord Nityananda. He was also known as the 

great grandson of Madana Mohana and the third son of his Godfather 

Anandacandra. He would be known as daitya-kulera prahlada (Prahlada in the 

family of demons). This was because Vaisnavism was not very much respected in 

his family; on his mother's side, there was

BHAKTIVINOD THAKUR reestablished the teachings of Lord Chaitanya which by then had been largely misrepresented or lost. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur wrote almost one hundred books to explain the science of Krishna consciousness expose pseudo incarnations of God, and defeat misconceptions about the path of devotional service. Srila Bhaktivinod Thaknr was both an active preacher and the Deputy Magistrate for Jagannath Puri, Orissa, as well as the father of ten children. One of his sons was Srila Bhakt

-Why? Why? Why? I do not understand why to preach?

I see people, they seem to me happy with smiling faces. When I request them to chant the Holy Names they say that no time, no need…

            With these questions I started to disturb senior Devotees. They used to say to me that Lord Gouranga wants it, Srila Prabhupada wants it. Because of that we preach.
