Simplicity Nectarean Mellows class

Once at New Dwarka Srila Prabhupada was in his nice quarters. There was even a little chandelier. It was not really opulent. It was just basically nice. And Prabhupada said to one of his followers “Do you remember my quarters at Radha Damodara”? And in those days it wasn’t like it is now, Radha Damodara,it has been really renovated. It was just really simple - back in the early seventies, very very simple, like a little cave practically. He said “Do you remembe

I was distributing books at the University of California Irvine campus in USA with Sachitanoy prabhu when I saw a young lady near by sitting and reading something. I looked closely and to my surprise she was reading "Krishna the Reservoir of Pleasure." I saw her reading and reading with a huge smile in her face.

She finsihed the pamplet and as she was leaving I asked her, "Did you liked what your were reading?"

She was surprised that I knew what she was reading and said, "Yes I did, every word tha

Become cultured

Srimad Bhagavadam 7.8.34

Elderly men are supposed to be wise because they have been faced with life. An elderly person in spiritual life has become familiar with the process of devotional service therefore knows what to do and what not to do. He has tried to do the right thing and has encountered human limitations and has found that it is not just a matter of decision. We know that it is a culture. Theessence of our culture is that we are chanting Hare Krsna and trying to develop g

BECOMING HOPEFUL

The Lord comes and manifests His grace through His devotees
to give us hope that there is no situation that is ever hopeless.
By associating with people who have faith we acquire faith
and in that faith there is unlimted hope and unlimited possibilites.

-Story of Gajendra-

When Gajendra the elephant was caught by the crocodile in the water,
he fought with all his strength but gradually his strength began to wane.
In that situation he was very depressed and he realized that

How to Avoid Fault Finding?

Lord Chaitahnay said "you can get My Full Mercy by chanting the holy names and not finding faults with others".  One has to be adosha darshi.

Acharyas explain there are four types of people who see faults:

1) Like Daksha, who only sees faults.  Even amidst good qualities, they see only faults.  The reason is that the mind is full of that mentality.

2) See faults and good qualities side by side.  You can focus on whatever you see.  When you see faults look for good qua

Not an easy thing.

So love of Krsna is not an easy thing obtainable, but Caitanya Mahaprabhu distributed this love of Krsna to anyone, to everyone, even to Jagai and Madhai. So Narottama dasa Thakura therefore has sung in his song, papi tapi jata chilo, hari-name uddharilo, tara saksi jagai madhai. Caitanya Mahaprabhu is so magnanimous that He delivered all kinds of sinful men. Jata chilo. And simply allowing them to chant Hare Krsna mantra, delivered. Tara saksi jagai madhai.

Now, at that time, t

“Krsna I will do this. From now on I will chant my rounds with great concentration and great attention. I won't let my mind be distracted. I won't listen to my mind.”

“But actually Krsna please help. Krsna please help me do this. I am very confident; I am very bold that I can do this. But actually I can’t do this without Your help, without Your mercy.”

Reporter: Hare krsna Prabhu.. People say God is everywhere then why there is need of temples?

Devotee: Air is everywhere then why we need fans??

Everyone like to eat but when you feel sleepy then you are ready to skip eating as well.. when you are fearful then you give up eating and sleeping... when someone is mad for sex pleasure then he gives up eating, sleeping and defending... so same way when we are mad in KC then we can give up all.. because KC pleasure is the highest...
