We must show an alternative to the exploitation of this world. In this world poor people are beaten down by the rich people. In Krishna Consciousness we have no concern with a person’s income. We honor and respect because of his faith, devotion and humility. In materialistic society, women are exploited and denied their rights because of their weaker physical natures. In Krishna Consciousness, we are taught to honor every woman especially devotee women as a holy mother and give them great respec

हे गुरुदेव जय हो तिहारी
हम पर रहे कृपा तिहारी
भटक रहे थे हमे रास्ता दिखाया
प्रभ मिलने का रास्ता दिखाया
चरणों में आपके है दुनिया हमारी
हे गुरुदेव जय हो तिहारी
पतितपावन हे दीन बंधू
करुना निधान हो युगपुरुष आप
सबसे अलग है महिमा तिहारी
हे गुरुदेव जय हो तिहारी
चरणों में हमको जगह देदो गुरुवार
हमे अपनी किरपा का पातर बना लो
झोली फैलाये बेठे है हम तो
डारो हमपे भी इक नज़र करुनामई
हे गुरुदेव जय हो तिहारी
श्रधा के फूल भक्ति का भोग
जलाये ह्रद
Merciful Appearance of Lord Nrsimhadev in Our Life
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Please accept our humble pranams! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev !!
 We had a very successful opening of the Japa Room yesterday....at one stage 26 devotees were in attendance and many good questions and comments were made in the chat room. One very good question was about the time when we should chant - someone asked is it OK to make up our rounds the next day if we had a busy day?....and another about chanting half our Japa quota before going to work and chanting the rest when returning home. It got me thinking about the importance of rising as early as possible

Srila Prabhupada explains that, sleep is only to recover from the fatigue due to working hard. The devotees are meant to work very hard. Devotees must never be lazy.

Question: How Can Krishna Not Know His Potency? |

Gurudeva, I request you to enlighten me on this phrase: "The wonderful potency of the Supreme Lord Krishna is bewildering even to the jugglers. That potential power is unknown even to the self-sufficient Lord, so it is certainly unknown to others." |
When Radhanath Swami and his friends asked the border guard the way to Istanbul, the guard pointed to a lonely country road. It stretched out into the darkness of the hilly, fertile country of Eastern Thrace. As they walked, Radhanath Swami saw for the first time the minaret of a stone mosque. The mosque’s dome and spires fascinated him and he was thrilled to see a place of God. There was no traffic on the road and Istanbul was still 150 miles away. What now? As they stood wondering how they wou
One last evening in Kandahar, while in a dim crowded tea stall, Radhanath Swami squatted on the floor with the locals. Suddenly everyone’s attention focused on a blind boy who stumbled in carrying a rustic wooden instrument with a single string nailed across it. He was perhaps sixteen years old, and like the others, wore soiled rags that loosely covered his emaciated body.
Radhanath Swami’s heart quaked—nothing covered his blinded, disfigured eyes. Despite his extreme poverty, he smiled radiantly
