One can be liberated from all adverse circumstances simply by
seriously engaging in devotional service. How this devotional service
develops and becomes mature is explained here. In the beginning one
has to perform his prescribed duties with a clean mind. Clean
consciousness means Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One has to perform his
prescribed duties in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. There is no necessity of
changing one's prescribed duties; one simply has to act in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness.

In discharging Kṛṣṇa conscious duti

Srimad Bhagavatam verse 4.31.19

dayayā sarva-bhūteṣu
santuṣṭyā yena kena vā
sarvendriyopaśāntyā ca
tuṣyaty āśu janārdanaḥ

"By showing mercy to all living entities, being satisfied somehow or
other and controlling the senses from sense enjoyment, one can very
quickly satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Janardana."

Krishna is completely satisfied if we follow these three things.

1) Dayayaa Sarva Bhuteshu - Merciful To All Living Entities

"All those who hear Harinam sankirtan will definitely be liber

Q. Why do you please think that God has only one best form or topmost in your religion and is the best and topmost only in the Form of Krishna, when there have been great holy people and saints who worship God not in the form of Krishna. So will all others not go to God, or will they go to a God in the form they can comprehend? It's very confusing.

It is not a personal, sectarian opinion that we claim the form of Krishna to be topmost, nor does Krishna to belong to any particular religious denom

           Today I am writing after a long time. As if I had stopped living for all this while since I stopped wiritng. Really WRITING IS LIVING. I read today-  to write is a verb not a noun. Meaning it is an action word. It can never be stagnant or still. It has to be dynamic has to always be moving. Over the years my heart seemed to have dried I don’t know how I allowed that but it was kind of a degradation of my soul. This trip which I had alone to a beautiful and spiritually charged place ha

Every genuine movement attracts persons who stand out by their acts of selfless sacrifice. In the Hare Krishna movement, Vishnujana Swami and Jayananda Prabhu were two such persons. Their spirit of humble service and commitment to spreading the glories of the Holy Name of the Lord left an indelible impression on everyone who met them. Each became a legend in his own time. Vishnujana Swami was active in devotional service for only eight years and Jayänanda for only ten before they passed from our

Srila Rupa Gosvami was extremely dear to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Through him and his elder brother, Sri Sanatan, Mahaprabhu disseminated His own teachings, the essential conclusions of all the scriptures.

Every now and then we find one immature devotee.  But such devotees should not be treated with harshness. There is a nice example.

It is the example of a mango. At first the mango is green, and green mangos are very bitter and sour. One does not  wants to eat such a mango. But by watering of the tree and sunlight, over a period of time, such mango is turned into a ripe, sweet nectarine mango. And everyone wants to have the mango.

Similarly in the beginning the devotees is immature. But by the chan

Formerly this entire planet was united in one global, peaceful, loving family. The head of government was at Hastinapur, near what is now New Delhi. There was only one global culture whose religion was service to the Supreme Lord. Now, since the advent of Kali Yuga 5,000 years ago, that one-world, spiritually centered culture has disintegrated, and a highly fragmented multi-national, multi-cultural, and multi-religious world society based on greed and exploitation has emerged.

There is no need fo

Hrdayananda: What is the difference between God and ourselves and what
is the relationship?

Prabhupada: God is great; we are small. Otherwise, we the same. God is
also living entity; you are also living entity. God is eternal; you
are also eternal. God is full of bliss; you are also full of bliss. So

like a drop of sea water. It is salty. So this means in the drop there
is salt. But the quantity of the salt in the drop is not equal to t

The Lord is so kind to us that He can be present before us personally
in the form of transcendental sound, but unfortunately we have no
taste for hearing and glorifying the Lord's name and activities. We
have already discussed developing a taste for hearing and chanting the
holy sound. It is done through the medium of service to the pure
devotee of the Lord.
