I remember, in my first few days in ISKCON, I had asked someone about howmrdangas were made and where were they made.  Clearly, I was not satisfiedwith the answer and always thought, one fine day, I will get into thedetails.

To understand Vedic literature means one must have firm faith in Krsna and firm faith in guru, not that "My guru is not so learned, so let me capture Krsna directly." That is useless.

Just like Krishna has no differentiation between body and soul, similarly, those who are transferred or living eternally in the spiritual sky, they haven't got also such distinction, between spirit and body. The body is also sp

You have asked some specific mantra; there is no other greater mantra than Hare Krsna. Srila Bhaktivinode says, "When I chant Radha Krsna or Hare Krsna all my dangers are gone immediately." So which other mantra can be more effective than Hare Krsna?

A materialistic person is captivated by so many objects of sense gratification. That is his prison house. The state laws, if you are criminal, they put him into the jail. But natures law is such that you dont require... Your senses will keep you intact in jail. You dont require to be handcuffed. The senses are so strong that it will keep you in this material world.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.15.40).
