Prisoners of Success

Posted by Chaitanya Charan Das on August 23, 2009 at 7:00am

“Success nowadays means to drive in a loaned car on a toll-charged expressway using credit card fuel.” This poignant statement shows the deceptive nature of the definition of success that is imposed on us by society. Indeed, most people today are “prisoners of success.” How? Generally, a prisoner is one whose freedom is restricted by immovable physical bars. The modern definition of success restricts people in their freedom by inflexible mental conceptions.

For example, a person, to be consi

By Gokulananda das ACBSPLord Caitanya’s magnanimous desire was to bless the whole world with His infinite mercy by displaying His most sublime lila of tasting and widely distributing the supreme fruit of love of God, Krishna prema. He thus desired to engage all willing souls to help Him distribute His sublime gifts everywhere. To fulfill his divine desire, Lord Nityananda Mahajan became the chief distributor of this transcendental harvest of pure love through the chanting of the nectarean Holy N

Quotes from Srila Bhakti Tirtha Swami - November 8, 1998

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on August 21, 2009 at 3:57pm

1.Treat each person with the bhakti and care as if the success or failure of your own spiritual life depends on this. Do not take into concern how they treat you.The manner in which you treat people is the same way you treat Guru and Krishna.2.Anytime that there is a problem in a relationship, you should first see it as your own fault. Even if others are to blame, you will only add to the problem by considering them to be at fault.3.You should treat every person with whom you come in con-tact wi

BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE!!!

Posted by Sita devi dasi on August 21, 2009 at 9:00am

</Gratitude is actually a prayer to god......saying thank you for all the things that He has given you. Recently one of my friends sent me an sms saying...A great man once said....i was complaining about not having no shoes till i saw a man with no legs. what a statement!!!. Really how many times in our life we fail to see the blessings that we have received from God and rather keep cribbing about things which we lack. Oh i wish i had this , oh i wish i had that and of course the list is endless

Book distribution in Detroit

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on August 19, 2009 at 3:51pm

I was asked to give the lecture on Janmastami at the Detroit temple, (forthose of you in other countries, Detroit is a city in the state of Michiganin the USA). As I was speaking about the pastimes of Krsna somethingPrabhupada had said entered my train of thought, "Devotees are not satisfiedin just hearing the glories of Krsna they also want to distribute Hisglories." Well, that sparked an interactive discussion on book distribution.I asked, "How many of you have distirbuted books?" Everyone rai

The remaining ten days (5-10, 12, 14-16) are suitable provided they do not fall on those lunar tithis which are forbidden.)Forbidden Lunar Tithis:Sexual union must also be avoided on days of vrata and fasting, such as ekadasi, and on the parva days (full moon, dark moon, astami and caturdasi tithis, as well as sankranti, when the sun passes into a new zodiac sign) when the body is in weak condition, and the days when the moon passes throught the same naksatra as at ones birth.Forbidden Week days

I do not intend to turn my blogs into a scriptural forum, but as I focus on environment and health, the scriptures just cut right across. So, what to do? I shall take in few leads from the iso-upanisad to guide my discuss in the coming weeks.Yesterday was janmasthami and I fasted the whole day, in spite of 9 hour day work. My colleagues persuaded me to drink water which I objected to. This is not a strain on my body; it’s a fulfillment of my spirit. Tomorrow will come and I shall eat to my satis

Good to the Core

Posted by Mira on August 11, 2009 at 2:10pm

Excerpt from theIntroduction of: Good to the Core,by John BlumbergI have yet to meet anyone who would say they didn't want to operate from a position of a solid set of values. I think most of us want to be good to the core. On the surface, the concept of values is intellectually easy to understand. And so I assumed, and maybe you do too, that most of us understand and try live by our values.However, I've found that it is more challenging than it would appear to be on the surface.
