It was a dream of the devotees and many friends in Turkey to read Srimad Bhagavatam in their own mother tongue.
After many years of preparation and actual work Srimad Bhagavatam First Canto Part One recently have been published in Turkish language. The book has been translated by Bhaktin Nilufer and published in Hungary with the help of the Hungarian devotees.

The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possible have to do with his wanting to know the

A good question and one that sometimes remains lodged in our subconcious mind - lingering with us like a dark cloud when we wake up in the early morning.
Question: Is Global Islamization Anti-Krishna? |

The reading of Bhagavad-gita and chanting Hare Krishna doesn’t mean you have to abandon professional life, it doesn’t mean you have to abandon professional ambitions.

If we work for the pleasure of the lord, even if we be in the material world, we will be free from the ill-effects of the illusory energy.

at our office, many a times, I had the opportunity for inviting & sending
out reminders to the relatively newer members, thanking them for their
participation and also inquiring about the reasons for their not being able
to make it for the meeting.
Everyone of us that failed to make it in time or not at all for this
meeting always had some reason or argument favoring their cause but, the
stark truth is: "We Want Anything & Every
Ultimately, all the miseries are summarized in four things: the misery of birth... We do not... We have forgotten how much miserable condition we passed during our stay in the womb of mother, in a suffocated condition. You just imagine. Some of you might have seen the picture how the child remains within the womb of the mother. It is air-tight packed. And there are many germs who are biting the delicate skin of the child. And when the child is little grown up, at seven m
