Beginning of Bhakti

Sarva-dharman means we have created so many dharmas. That is not dharma; that is... Dharma, we generally become so-called religious for artha, for money. Dharma-artha. Artha, money, is required. Why? For sense gratification, kama. And when we are dissatisfied, then we want moksa. Therefore, we are actually busy with four kinds of activities: Dharma-artha-kama-moksa [SB 4.8.41, Cc. Adi 1.90]. And above these, when we go above these, then bhakti begins. That is the beginning o

Is God's Creation Defective?

Question: Is God's Creation Defective?

Gurudeva Please accept my namaskar. I have a question. The population of earth is so huge. So many persons have come to the material world. Does this mean that God's creation is defective? Why didn't God create us in such a fashion that we do not have to ever fall to this material world? And even falling into this world, why should we suffer? Why didn't God create things in such a way that even here you enjoy life without forgetting the Supreme? Why do we fo

There are many, many millions and trillions of living entities within
this universe. And they are rotating in different species of life,
8,400,000 -- in this way, unfortunate. Simply repetition, birth and
death, birth and death.

Out of them, if one is the greatest fortunate, he is given the chance,
guru-krsna-prasade paya bhakti-lata-bija. By the mercy of guru and
Krsna, he gets the seed of devotional service. And if he's
intelligent, unless he is intelligent, otherwise how he gets the seed?

The Appearance of Sri Gadadhara Pandita

Sri Gadadhar was the consant companion of Mahaprabhu from the time of their childhood. His father's name was Sri Madhva Misra and
his mother's name Sri Ratnavati-devi. They lived very near the house of Sri Jagannatha Misra in Mayapura. Ratnavati-devi thought of Saci-devi as her own sister, and always used to visit her.

During their childhood, Sri Gaura Hari and Gadadhara would play together, sometimes at Mahaprabhu's house and sometimes at Gadadhara's house.

Prabhupada's mood

Saturday, 1 April 1972

The sun had just risen when Srila Prabhupada arrived at Centennial Park. Seeing that he had enjoyed his visits there last year, the devotees had chosen it again as a venue for his early morning walks. The park, the largest public reserve in Sydney, was named in 1888 to celebrate 100 years of settlement by Europeans in Australia. With its lakes, lawns, paths and statues, Centennial Park still retained its nineteenth century ambience.

Thought Of The Day

Posted by Shalabh Gupta on May 10, 2011 at 8:57am

It is advised, therefore, that an intelligent person associate with the great sages and saints who are on the path of salvation. By such association, one can receive instructions which are able to slacken the conditioned souls attachment for matter, and thus the intelligent man gradually gets rid of the illusion of matter and false ego and is promoted to the real life of eternity, knowledge and bliss.

Hundreds of devotees from all over Australia and the world will be converging on Sydney’s Hare Krishna temple from Friday May 20th to Sunday May 22nd, to celebrate forty years of ISKCON in Australia.

It’s also forty years since the Sydney ISKCON temple’s Sri-Sri Radha-
