A man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless -- THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening. The woman was trembling and she said, "Are you not afraid? This may be our last moment of life! IT DOES

That kishor-form of Sri Krishna, that lotus like face, that compassion, those loving glances, that beauty, that radiant smile – truly truly they are beyond the reach of even the celestial beings.

After embracing them He is inebriated with bliss. His soft smile puts the beauty of the full moon to shame and the s

The Blind Well
Once a prince went to forest for hunting. Suddenly a tiger attacked him. Prince fell down from his horse. As his bow was not in his hand, he quickly ran to save his life. While running, his feet got stuck in a creeper and he fell into a dry blind well. As he was felling down, he managed to hold two tree branches, which were hanging into the well. He looked up and found that the tiger is waiting for him on the top of the well. As his eyes got accustomed to see in dark, he found two
Question: How to Be Aloof from Aloofness? |
||||
Why are we trying to find happiness in the material world even if there isn't any? How can Krishna consciousness teach me how to remain aloof from aloofness? How can I control my mind in a manner that is favorable for Krishna consciousness? Can you point towards any verse in Bhagavad Gita directing towards this? |

Answer: Engage Whole World in Krishna's Service |

Because our nature is to always enjoy happiness we naturally try to find happiness in this mat |
In this material world everyone is looking for prestige, but no matter how much prestige they may accrue, they will still be completely humiliated by unavoidable death. And in due course of time all the reputations of even history's most prestigious heroes will vanish into oblivion. The pure devotees, on the other hand, are not seeking personal prestige. They simply desire to spread the name and fame of Lord Sri Krishna all over the world. But because Krishna desires that His pure devotees shoul
We should consider ourselves as the property of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. This feeling will automatically subdue all desires for enjoyment of the material senses. Supreme Lord Sri Krishna is the embodiment of all transcendental mellows (rasas) so he is competent to accept the prayers of devotees of any of the different mellow.
Absolved of all kinds of material desires, whoever worships Supreme Lord Sri Krishna will surely get the opportunity to savor the highest order of the mellow of the transce
