Saturday, 16 January, 2010 This morning I was woken up at seven o’clock by my friend Marina. All this week I have a very hard schedule, I went to sleep late at night and I could hardly get up in the morning. Marina wanted that I met her at the station. I had to get up, to take a bath, to find my car (I did not remember where I had parked it, because I was tired). Thereby I should collect my thoughts and to pluck up my courage.

At eight o’clock I was at the station, I met Marina and we were very h

In the material platform, in the material plane, everyone is self-centered. Everyone wants to exploit others. Everyone wants to cheat others just for his own advantage, that’s how one becomes a kripana. Kripana means very miserly. However, the saintly persons are very noble minded, very generous and extremely compassionate. They are always thinking for the well being of everyone. They are not even concerned for their own well being.

25th Anniversary of Govindadwipa

if I am genuinely searching for krishna-prema, I have not after all made any mistake in accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of pure vaishnav. Such vaishnav will not fuel our desire for dharma, artha, Kama and moksha or our hankering for wealth, women and adoration. The purpose of the Moaha is to help free us from these miserable conditions of life and attain Krishna-prema. By taking shelter of the lotus feet of pure devotee of Krishna, beggars for Krishna-prema become qualified to attain the

WHAT THEY
SAY ABOUT BHAGAVAD GEETA.....

Albert Einstein 

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God
created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

 Mahatma Gandhi 

The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind
and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of
random desires and undisciplined impulses.

 Dr. Albert Schweizer

The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of
mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by acti

We just wanted to point out the forgiving nature of the Lord and His devotees. We
devotees also in our dealings with each other should be very forgiving and
magnanimous. Krishna forgave Brahma and Indra. Yudhishthira forgave
Dhritarashtra. Some may say that we are not so magnanimous. You may not be that
magnanimous but by attempting to follow the magnanimous you can also become
magnanimous. .(Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.13.28),Nizhny Novgorod, 10.06.03

Many a times we all must have come across people who actually become happy when others are in distress. Or may be their happiness lies in only seeing others in distress and unhappiness. I personally have witnessed such crooked smile which enlightens one's face after giving some trouble to a person who has never counteracted. Some people are very much satisfied to see that peopl

Once I saw a young boy walking through the jungle. It appeared as if he was uttering some words. I greeted him and he replied accordingly. I inquired, "Where are you going?" Young boy retorted, "To the house of Allah in Makkah." I further asked, "What are you reciting?" "Noble Quran" he replied. I remarked, "You are at a tender age, it is not an obligation that you are required to fulfill at this stage." Young boy said, "I have witnessed death approach people younger than me and therefore would

Adikia ( Tribi

Those who have realized that this human life offers an invaluable opportunity to work towards attaining the supreme goal, prize every moment of it. They are unwilling to waste even an instant in any other endeavor. They know that living entities in other species of life do not have the facility or good fortune to make progress towards the supreme goal and, accordingly, they see no value in living their lives in the manner of the lower species. Hence, upon attaining this extremely rare human life

The preaching enthusiasm will come from our following the
principles of purity. Purity comes from sincerely following the principles of
devotional service. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.31.19), Sukharevo, February 2003.
