TRANSLATION

Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.

Krishna’s superior, spiritual energy is transcendental and eternal. It is beyond all the changes of material nature, which is manifest and anni

Devotees should be very complete personalities, it is about developing all the aspects of a personality and we should be complete human beings. This is something that really attracts me to Prabhupada, namely that not only that he is the great, exalted, pure devotee and completely on the topmost transcendental platform but at the same time he is so human, so very human in his dealings. And that endears him to me very much, that combination. I’m thinking that if we also can reach that then that wi

It’s late at night & you crawl back home, your eyes are red & your limbs are sore,

I’ll soon be happy, you promise yourself, I’ll need to slog, just a few years more.

The degrees, job, are soon yours, the Merc is parked outside your door.

But as you chill in your penthouse, Bro, you think, somehow, yeh dil mange more!

So on it goes, forever ma' friend, your search for happiness will ne’er end,

Then WHAT, you shout, is that magic thing, that’ll bring me joy and pe

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform — do that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me.

Thus, it is the duty of everyone to mold his life in such a way that he will not forget Kṛṣṇa in any circumstance. Everyone has to work for maintenance of his body and soul together, and Kṛṣṇarecommends herein that one should work for Him. Everyone has to eat something to live; therefore he should accept the remnants of foodstuffs offered to Kṛ

Vegetarianism in ISLAM

Anyone engaged in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of
Godhead is known as a devotee, but there is a distinction between pure
devotees and mixed devotees.

A mixed devotee engages in devotional service for the spiritual
benefit of being eternally engaged in the transcendental abode of the
Lord in full bliss and knowledge. In material existence, when a
devotee is not completely purified, he expects material benefit from
the Lord in the form of relief from material miseries, or he wants
materia

A devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who seriously engages
in devotional service is equal to all living entities. There are
various species of living entities, but a devotee does not see the
outward covering; he sees the inner soul inhabiting the body. Because
each and every soul is part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, he does not see any difference. That is the vision of a
learned devotee.

A devotee should not speak needlessly. He is always busy in Kṛṣṇa
consciousness. When

What is the significance of Number 108? As per vedic scriptures, Indian culture has a very special significance of number 108. What does this number represent, and why is it so important? 

1) In one minute, we breathe in approximately 15 times, in 1 hour 900 times, and in 12 hours 10800 times, and in a day 10800 * 2 times. A day consists of 24 hours, and if we set aside half the day for our day to day routines,then one can spend 12 hours for recitation of God's holy names.

TRANSLATION

Actually a living entity is transcendental to material existence, but
because of his mentality of lording it over material nature, his
material existential condition does not cease, and just as in a dream,
he is affected by all sorts of disadvantages.

PURPORT

The example of a dream is very appropriate. Due to different mental
conditions, in dreams we are put into advantageous and disadvantageous
position

The Story Of Gauri- Douji

The first match was with Sridhama. After defeating Sridhama, Subal stepped up to fight with Krsna. After a tough fight, Subal defeated Krsna. Been a sour loser, Krsna wanted a

Knowledge is meant for distribution. Although there is already much scientific knowledge, whenever scientists or philosophers awaken to a particular type of knowledge, they try to distribute it throughout the world, for otherwise the knowledge gradually dries up and no one benefits from it. India has the knowledge of Bhagavad-gītā, but unfortunately, for some reason or other, this sublime knowledge of the science of God was not distributed throughout the world, alth

Ayodhya Dasa, a devotee of Indian descent, joined ISKCON in 1976 in Detroit and was initiated by Srila Prabhupada in 1977. While in Detroit he distributed books while serving in the life membership department. But for many years he wanted to go to Vrndavana. In 1995 Krsna made the arrangement. That year his brother-in-law passed away in India and he was asked to attend the funeral ceremony because he was the only surviving male in the family. He took the opportu

Given below is the jist of the "only solution for all problems" as narrated by H.H.Radhanath Maharaj in the initiation lecture of 1997 during Gaura poornima. He was explaining this in 5 simple steps as follows.
