chanting of the Holy Name of Krishna expands the blissful ocean of transcendental life. It gives a cooling effect to
everyone and enables one to taste full

When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you expect…

A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Arnav asked him, "If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?" Within seconds Arnav replied confidently, "Four!" 


The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three).  She was disappointed.  "Maybe the child did not listen properly," she thought.  She repeated, "Arnav, listen carefully.  If I give you one apple and one apple

It's called Mindset

As I was passing by the elephants, I suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.

No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. I saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

"Well," he said, "when they are very young

How Can a Soul Leave Vaikuntha?

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How Can a Soul Leave Vaikuntha?


Dear Gurudeva,

You have told us that those souls in the spiritual world who have the desire to become God will come to this material world. If a soul is completely satisfied in the company of God in Vaikuntha, the spiritual world, how can he have an unsatisfied desire? If a perverted desire can come to the soul even while he is the company of God, what is the assurance that we will not fall back to the material world

Chanting some stotras

Trana-karta prabhu gave me another tape this morning featuring Akincana Krsna dasa Babaji, another of Prabhupada's Godbrothers, chanting some stotras. After I told him what Prabhupada said yesterday, he wanted to verify whether this tape was bona-fide.

I played it for Prabhupada to hear during massage. Again Prabhupada said it was all right to listen to. But he shrugged and said, "They will never be able to pronounce these things, neither they will ever be able understand the

HARE KRISHNA

Shiva works for the benefit of everyone, and tries to help the living beings make spiritual advancement. This is why he has his own line of disciplic succession. This is also why he says to the sons of King Pracinibarhi, “Any person who is surrendered to the Supreme Personality of God, Lord Krishna, the controller of everything, is very dear to me.”1

The sons of the King were going to practice austerities to worship Lord Vishnu and while searching for a suitable place happened to find
