The heart of Hinduism is God-Love, or devotional worship of the Divine Person. And such worship finds its greatest raditional expression in the devotional love relationship between Krishna, the Avatar or Divine Incarnation, and the gopis, the cowherd-maidens of the village of Brindaban. Krishna, the very embodiment of Bliss and Love on Earth, is said to have lived in ecstatic play with hundreds of gopis for a number of years. As their spiritual master and lover, he taught them the es

We have so many false shelters.My family gives me protection, fallible solders what kind of protection can they give us?
My money will protect me - and then you get some economical crises or suddenly your bank has gone bankrupted and you lose your money or it has no more value.

nice. Just try to understand it. Even a fractional understanding of Krsna's
beauty can merge all three worlds in the ocean of love. He attracts all the
living entities within the three worlds.
Ornaments caress that body, but the transcendental body of Krsna is so
beautiful that it beautifies the ornaments He wears. Therefore Krsna's body is
said to be the ornament of ornaments. Despite the wonderful beauty of Krsna,
there is His three-curved styl
The reciprocation of love between Radha and Krishna is the essence of spiritual love. Because Krishna is the origin of everything, He is the origin of love also. The attraction between boys and girls in the material world is a perverted reflection of the purely spiritual relationship between Radha and Krishna or Jivatman and Paramatman. One who thinks he can be happy through material sexual enjoyment cannot understand the relationship between Radha and Krishna; and, conversely, if one hears abou
Krishna is the Supreme Person, the Godhead. Krishna is the speaker of the Bhagavad-gita, which is recognized throughout the world as one of mankind’s greatest books of wisdom. In the Gita, as it is also known, Krishna says repeatedly that He is God Himself, the source of everything. Arjuna, to whom Krishna is speaking, accepts Krishna’s words as true, adding that the greatest spiritual authorities of that time also confirm that Krishna is God.

Two things are necessary for a beautifully finished sculpture. One is a strong piece of marble and the second is the expert sculptor. The piece of marble should but unconditionally remain in the hands of the sculptor, in order to be carved and chiselled into the fine image. The seeker placing himself under the expert guidance of a fully realized Guru, will allow to be carved out and chiselled into the image of perfection. It is also absolutely necessary for the disciple to purify himself thr

Any glorious or beautiful existence should be understood to be but a
fragmental manifestation of Krsna's opulence, whether it be in the
spiritual or material world. Anything extraordinarily opulent should be
considered to represent Krsna's opulence.-Srila Prabhupada's commentary.

I meditate on two-armed Lord Krishna, who is dark like a monsoon cloud, dressed in yellow garments, garlanded with forest flowers... crowned with a peacock feather, and garlanded with lotus whorls, whose face is splendid like ten million moons, whose eyes move restlessly... whose forehead is marked with tilaka of sandal paste and musk... who is splendid with earrings like two rising suns, whose perspiration-anointed cheeks are like two glistening mirrors... who with
