Dear Purnacandra Goswami,
Please accept my most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
It was with great sorrow that I heard about your sudden departure from this world. Although we regularly hear about these things in sastra and are constantly preparing ourselves for such inevitable events, somehow when they actually happen we seem totally unprepared. And so it is that I can hardly believe you are no longer among us.
Your departure leaves a deep sadness in my heart. It is said that ti
H.H. Indradyumna Swami Maharaj : Past, Present and Future
Srila Prabhupada: “Yes. There is the Brighu Samhitaa astrological calculation. You can know your past life, present life and future life. That is the system, Brighu Samhitaa.”
Incident
Before leaving Vrindavan for the West, I told Sri Prahlada das that I wanted to take darsan of the famous Deity of Sri Nathji, in Rajasthan. The Deity was discovered on Govardhan Hill by a great devotee, Madhavendra Puri, more than 500 years ago, before the ad
"O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like theappearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed."
Parents Reaction to Children Joining Iskcon
Sometimes a saintly person is misunderstood by gṛhasthas, especially when he instructs their young sons to accept Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Generally a gṛhastha thinks that unless one enters gṛhastha life he cannot properly enter the renounced order. If a young man immediately adopts the path of the renounced order in accordance with the instructions of Nārada or a member of his disciplic succession, his parents become very angry. This same phenomenon is occ
Parents Reaction to their Children joining Iskcon
The Haryaśvas, the sons of Prajāpati Dakṣa, were very well behaved, cultured sons, but unfortunately, because of the instructions of Nārada Muni, they deviated from the order of their father. When Dakṣa heard this news, which was brought to him by Nārada Muni, he began to lament. Although he was the father of such good sons, he had lost them all. Certainly this was lamentable.

The Haryaśvas, the sons of Prajāpati Dakṣa, were certainly well b
Practical philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita
Philosophical ways are practical and it is no use simply by indulging in speculation without any practical result just like to keep a cow without any milk. We must always seek a practical value from philosophy for the benefit of all. The mission with which you have started your service inspired me to help you as far as possible and I thought it fit to inform you that your mission can be well guided by the practical philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita. If you
Oh the austerity of fasting on Ekadasi - what to prepare???
Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's standard for Ekadasi:
He used sesame seeds, mustard seeds, and peanuts - see Yamuna's Table Cookbook.
Vanila is a POD not a bean.
NOTES:
check the label of the white choc to see that there are no grains, cocoa, E 410, E 412, 410, 412 etc
check hing to make sure it is free from wheat and rice flour - get the pure resin hing and grate it to fine powder.

Please do not be carried away by the mis given mind to conclude that the present life is all in all. You are eternal, and the present form of human life is a chance of realizing your eternal life. Do not spoil your life simply by serving the mis given mind and the uncontrolled senses. Please do not become your own enemy by your own self
- Srila Prabhpada
 I stick to the simple method taught by Lord Caitanya and passed on by Srila Prabhupada. The name of Krishna is not different than Krishna Himself. Sometimes the Lord deliberately taught false philosophies, but in any case they are not to be followed perpetually. Only devotional service is the means by which to chant the holy name and benefit from its eternal proposition. From Viraha Bhavan #166 |
Question: Can Eating Vegetables Also Be Sinful? |
||||
While discussing with one of my friends I got confused. According to the four regulative principles of Krishna consciousness, I gave up meat eating a long time ago as I wanted to refrain from killing. When I told my friend I left meat because I don't want to kill, he said that even the plants have life and therefore eating them would also be killing. So I told him that since we are offering food to Krishna it's not sinful. He then asked, "If you off |
It was raining early this morning so Prabhupada simply made half a circuit of the temple parikrama path and then went in for darsana of the Deities and to give his class on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.7.8.
Pradyumna prabhu lead the devotees in responsively chanting the sloka and then he read out the English. The verse stated that Srila Vyasadeva first compiled the Srimad-Bhagavatam and then after revising it, spoke it to his son, Sukadeva Gosvami.

Krishna Playing
Poet: surdas
Hari (Krishna) is singing something in his courtyard (aangan). He is dancing with His little-little feet and enticing His own mind.
Sometimes, He lifts His hands and calls the cows, by names Kajari and Dhauri, and then returns back to His home calling His father as Baba Nand.
He takes a bit of butter in His small hand and puts in His small mouth. Sometimes, He assumes the reflection in pillar to be another child and tries to offer Him a bit of butter.
