Question: Can I Be Srila Prabhupada's Disciple?
|
For a long moment Isvaracandra said nothing. He seemed to have no real reason. Finally, he said that he wanted to take care of his family.
Prabhupada continued to pierce through his consciousness. "So how you can take care with nothing? Krsna makes you nothing, then how you can take care of your family? These things I have

Letter to: Bali-mardana, New York
My dear Bali Mardan,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated September 27, 1972, and I have noted the contents carefully. Regarding that building on 40th Street, try to get it as much as possible, but if business of getting this building appears too much difficult or complicated, then give it up. If you like, if this place is not possible, you may try for another similar place. I have received one telephone call this morning from K
One day, Sri Radha and Her sakhis were picking flowers here when Krsna suddenly arrived and said,"Who are you? Everyday, you steal floweres from My garden."
Hearing this, Srimati Radhika rebuked Him,"You don't know who I am?".
Saying no more, Krsna placed His flute to His lips and began to play, casting charming glances at Radha as He walked away. The very sight of Krsna leaving greatly distressed Radha, who fainted in seperation from Him
A Book Marathon Message By Giriraj Swami (From a talk on January 11, 2010, Kiev, Ukraine)
krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam sangopangastra-parsadam yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah
"In the age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Krsna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krsna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons, and confidential companions." (SB 11.5.32)

When one has developed a real taste for chanting, then a single utterance of the holy name can eradicate all previous sins. Some vestiges of sinful reaction may still remain in a particular individual, but these also are gradually removed by the process of chanting.

Hare Krishna Friends,
A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, "I hate you, I hate you." Because of fear of reprimand, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, "I hate you, I hate you," and the echo returned, "I hate you, I hate you." Having never heard an echo before, he was scared, and ran to his mother for protection. He said there was a bad boy in the valley who shouted "I hate you, I hate you" The mother understood and she asked her son to go back and |

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Mathajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.
It is very important in spiritual life that we should not be misdirected especially stray away from spiritual master's instructions. The basic tendency of the conditioned soul is to enjoy and have sense gratification which we have already experienced for so many lives. As our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj says, Although we have gone atleast once throu

Book Distribution
Sometimes we devotees think, this book distribution is only the service of the full-time book distributors. I am not full-time, so it’s not my service, thank God. You should thank God when you engage in preaching because Krishna is more pleased when you preach and when you make the efforts to distribute books. Book distribution should be the privilege of everyone.
(Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.13.28), 10.06.03, Nizhny Novgorod
The holy name is the most valuable asset that you can possess!

A Little Fish Challenges a Giant of Science
By Fred Heeren, Globe Correspondent
CHENGJIANG, China - The fish-like creature was hardly more than an inch long, but its discovery in the rocks of southern China was a big deal. The 530-million-year-old fossil, dubbed Haikouella, had the barest beginning of a spinal cord, making it the oldest animal ever found whose body shape resembled modern vertebrates.

Philosophy of Life and Death
A sane person who has understood the philosophy of life and death is very upset upon hearing of the horrible, hellish condition of life in the womb of the mother or outside of the mother. But one has to make a solution to the problems of life. A sane man should understand the miserable condition of this material body. Without being unnecessarily upset, he should try to find out if there is a remedy. The remedial measures can be understood when one associates with pers

I am very lucky to have a master who is helping with my questions. If Lord Buddha achieved self realization, He must have been Krishna conscious or God consciousness. But yet theBuddhists don't believe in God. Why is this?

Commentaries by Acharyas on the Vedanta Sutra
There are two classes of sannyasis, or persons in the renounced order of life.
The Mayavadi sannyasis are engaged in the study of Sankhya philosophy,
whereas the Vaisnava sannyasis are engaged in the study of Bhagavatam philosophy,
which affords the proper commentary on the Vedanta-sutras.

The Mayavadi sannyasis also study the Vedanta-sutras, but use their own commentary, calledSariraka-bhasya, written by Sankaracarya.
