Quote by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupada "*Look within.
Amend yourself, rather than pry into the frailities of others."*
HH Bhakti Charu Swami Guru Maharaj said in response to the quote :
This is a wonderful quotation! Which actually means, "If you are so expert
in faultfinding and criticizing, then do it to yourself than applying it to
others."
True Religion
Any religious system but the process of bhāgavata-dharma — service as an eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead — is a system of envy of one's own self and of others. For example, there are many systems of religion in which animal sacrifices are recommended. Such animal sacrifices are inauspicious both for the performer and for the animal. Although one is sometimes permitted to sacrifice an animal before the goddess Kālī and eat it instead of purchasing meat from a s

Question: Who Can Become the Next Acharya? |

Do you deliver your disciple personally or does Srila Prabhupada deliver him? Did Srila Prabhupada give you the order to be the next acharya? I know he said for all his disciple to be guru. Of course, that does not mean acharya. |

As long as a man is in the full vigor of life, he forgets the naked truth of death, which he has to meet. Thus a foolish man makes no relevant inquiry about the real problems of life. Everyone thinks that he will never die, although he sees evidence of death before his eyes at every second. Here is the distinction between animalism and humanity. An animal like a goat has no sense of its impending death. Although its brother goat is being slaughtered, the goat, being allured by th
In the Vedanta-sutra (1.1.12) it is said about the Supreme Absolute Truth, as anandamayo 'bhyasat, by nature joyful. Therefore, as we are part and parcel of God, our aim of life is joy. We are searching after that joyfulness within this material world, but that is not possible. Just like a fish, if it is taken from the water and put on the land, in any condition the fish will never feel joyfulness. Similarly, we are spirit souls. Somehow or other, we have come in contact with this material world
Alexander, the great Greek king, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last.
He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes. "My first desire is t
Srila Jagannatha Dasa Babaji
Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja was respected by all the Vaisnava community and was thus known as Vaisnava Sarvabhauma, or chief amongst the Vaisnavas. There are some nice stories connecting him with the finding of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's birthplace recorded in Sri Navadwipa Dhama Mahatmya. Srila Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja was born around the year 1800 AD. He spent many years in Vrndavana where he became famous as a perfect devotee, though more than this
Following is an excerpt of a beautiful letter of H.H Jayapataka Maharaj to one doubting devotee who had stopped visiting Iskcon temple.
.... I am very sorry that you do not like to visit ISKCON temples. Srila Prabhupada has described that the temples are like Hospitals. If you go to Hospital, you find disease if you are looking for it. If you go to Hospital, you also find hope of getting a cure for someone who is suffering. If you go to the temple looking for anxiety and unhappiness, certainly

This Sunday at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Mandir, I heard the most wonderful Srimad Bhagavatam Class as well as the opinions of the devotees later.
Of the many wonderful points made in the class, the one point which stood out the most was - For every action, particularly the bad ones, you will face a reaction.
You cannot avoid the reaction, whoever you are.
But then it is said that once one becomes a devotee- his karma cycles slowly come to a stop. Sounds conflicting?
No. When one starts chanting a
