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

One needs to be Faithful
The impersonalists are full of duplicity. Sometimes they pretend to execute devotional service, but their ultimate idea is to become one with the Supreme. This is duplicity, kapata.
The Bhagavatam does not allow this duplicity.
In the beginning of Srimad-Bhagavatam it is clearly stated, paramo nirmatsaranam: [SB 1.1.2] "This treatise Srimad-Bhagavatam is meant for those who are completely free from envy."
The same point is again stressed here. Unless one is completely fa
There’s an alarming trend: People who have had some degree of good fortune and success tend to lose their humility and become at least slightly arrogant. This is very unfortunate for many reasons. First, and most obviously, no one really wants to be around someone who is arrogant or self-absorbed. It’s boring, and it’s annoying! Arrogance implies a lack of gratitude. The assumption is, “I did this all by myself; it’s all about me.”
Factors such as our good karma,
 Recently I read an article written by Satsvarupa Maharaja - he was asking himself the following questions.
Do you pay attention to Hare Krishna mantra when you chant? Do you have love for it?This got me thinking about my own chanting and how much I have love for chanting - the answer was yes and no. Yes I like to chant, I wouldn't say I love to chant but I like it and I love it when I feel the Lord's spiritual energy.
It's an important point....we need to feel the spiritual energy of the Lord when

In Celebration of the 8th Anniversary of Vrinda Kunda Temple Opening, we have made an ecstatic schedule of parikramas and festivals from Feb 15 to Mar 4th.This year Mayapur festival is late, so Vrindavan Festival will be very hot. But in Vrindavan before Mayapur Festival is one of the best times of the year asthe weather is very pleasant. Last year one devotee told me that he never knew there was so nice weather in Vrindavan. Our festival ends on Mar 4th so youhave time to get to Gaura Mandal Pa
In the late 1960s, while Srila Prabhupada was translating and commenting on his monumental edition of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, heconceived of writing a book which would contain the essential teachings of the Bhagavatam as he was not sure how long he wouldremain manifest on this planet. He then composed a summary study of the most celebrated portion of the Bhagavatam, the Tenth Canto, andentitled it Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He often referred to it as the “Krsna book”.
