I was asked by many devotees about how we can manage time after we come to Krishna Conciseness (KC). Many think that if they start to chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Maha mantra, they will not be able to cope up with their prescribed duty.

The need to accept discipleship of an enlightened guru is emphasized both by tradition and by the words of the scriptures. Yet, this step on the spiritual sojourn turns out to be a squirmy one for many. The difficulty arises due to ominous thoughts of loss of freedom. Haven’t you heard of grisly tales where disciples where punished by their masters for being disobedient?
Here I narrate my tale. Long time ago, I was afflicted by what I thought was bronchitis. My hacking cough pained me, but what
We must show an alternative to the exploitation of this world. In this world poor people are beaten down by the rich people. In Krishna Consciousness we have no concern with a person’s income. We honor and respect because of his faith, devotion and humility. In materialistic society, women are exploited and denied their rights because of their weaker physical natures. In Krishna Consciousness, we are taught to honor every woman especially devotee women as a holy mother and give them great respec
