Krishna–He Has all Opulences in Full

Krsna is instructing us how to understand Him. That is our only business. This human form of life is meant for understanding Krsna because we are very thickly related with Krsna, just like father and the son. This relation cannot be broken. Maybe son is out of home, son may have forgotten, but Krsna, the supreme father, He does not forget.

Prabhupada:

sri bhagavan uvaca
mayy asakta-manah partha
yogam yunjan mad-asrayah
asamsayam samagram mam
yatha jnasyasi tac chrnu

Trust God

Once there was a small kid on earth. One fine day it came to know that God is distributing apples to humans in his place at heaven. The kid was so happy to receive that news and it went with lot of enjoyment to heaven to get the apple from God. There was a big queue standing to get apple from God and this kid also joined in that queue.

What is simplicity? Prabhupada explains it in many different ways and they should be very attentively understood. One place Prabhupada explains, simplicity means without duplici

Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami

Srila Gopal Bhatta Goswami


The all merciful Lord Sri Gaur Hari, as He travelled from village to
village throughout the south of India, continued to distribute love of
Godhead wherever He went. Hearing the nectarean names of Hari from His
lotus mouth, thousands and thousands men and women felt relief from the
blazing fire of material existence. Various wretched, miserable and fallen
souls lives were completely rejuvenated and thus they became virtuous and
happy. While causing rains of love of God

Cupid and the Kama-Gayatri

The eternal Cupid, Shri Krishna, is eternally distinct from the material Cupid. The material Cupid produces pleasure only temporarily, but then lulls one into material dullness in just the next moment. But the eternal Cupid is ever-awakening and the transcendental pleasure is ever-increasing in ever-renewing developments. Such pleasure is eternally-existing and is not subject to the laws of material nature. The transient pleasure derived from the material Cupid is an enjoyable object to the mate

a poem- Walking up the steps of Shriji.

Now let me see what do i have today in my mind to share with all of you? Oh yes i have just returned from a most spiritually enlivening experience in Barsana by serving the Brijwasis in the Barsana Dental Camp. Everyday we would go in the morning for the darshan of Shriji for mangalarati and for chanting. After that come down and start work by 9 am and work untill 7 pm, with only a 20 min break for lunch. Like this we worked for 4 days without a sign of fatigue or irritation. Now that is complet

I am true to my Lord by Meerabai

I am true to my Lord!
O sakhis, there is nothing to be ashamed of now
Since I have been seen dancing openly.
In the day I have no hunger
At night I am restless and cannot sleep.
Leaving these troubles behind, I go to the other side;
A hidden knowledge has taken hold of me.
My relations surround me like bees.
But Mira is the servant of her beloved Giridhar,
And she cares nothing that people mock her
