We have often given the example of the good dog and the bad dog. Krishna tells in Bhagavad Gita that there is a divine nature and there is a demonic nature in all of us. The good dog is humility, charity, knowledge of the self, compassion, morality,generosity, etc. And the bad dog is greed, lust, envy, anger,arrogance, selfishness, etc. We have both dogs within us and they areboth howling for food. What is the food? The decision we make of whichvoice within the mind we are going to accommodate.

We often mistake temporary pleasures of this world to be love. This mistaking of temporary sensations of the world lies at the very core of human conditioning. These flickering sensations are like a mirage. A person who is in the desert is searching desperately for an oasis ofwater. And in that desperation, due tolonging and hopefulness, sometimes a mirage appears. It appears thatthat mirage can quench his/her thirst, but all he/she gets is amouthful of hot sand.
So what is real love? In order to

"Although God has no parents as He is eternal and is the father of everyone, yet He can agree to become someone's child - have a little baby form and a devotee to serve Him as a parent. As a parent, the parents think that they are bigger than the child.
The parents always want to protect the child. Even though Krishna is the Supreme protector of everyone. His parents always think, "I have to protect Krishna. If I don't protect Krishna, some danger will befall Krishna."
So the parents a |
Sometimes, Krsna used to perform the rasa dance here with Radhaji and Her friends.
After Sri Krsna's departure to Mathura, all of Vraja drowned in an ocean of seperation from Him. What to speak of the gopas and gopis, even the birds and animals gave up eating and drinking, feeling distressed in seperation from Krsna. Krsna's beloved gopis followed Akrura's chariot to this point and then fell to the ground unconscious. They

1. As He walked down the King’s road, Lord Madhava then saw a young hunchback woman with an attractive face, who carried a tray of fragrant ointments as she walked along. The bestower of the ecstasy of love smiled and inquired from her as follows.
2. [Lord Krsna said:] Who are you, O beautiful-thighed one? Ah, ointment! Who is it for, my dear lady? Please tell Us truthfully. Give Us both some of y

Yesterday I came across this wonderful lecture on Holy Name by H.G Bhurijana Prabhu. In this lecture he is teaching a practical method to concentrate on Chanting.
Here is the link to lecture:

Hari-sauri: They get a bit confused because God has to... Like that man last night was saying not even a blade of grass can move without God's sanction. So they think because God sanctions...
Prabhupada: Yes, that is so many times explained. Just like a child wants to do something. The father says, "Don'
The real duty of person who is preaching the philosophy is not to entertain people with fanciful philosophy or to theoretically convince people of the right way of life, but to generate enthusiasm within a person’s heart to render service to the lord and chant the holy names of the lord. - Bodhamrit-II
Srila Rupa Goswami quotes "Compared to the Unlimited Ocean of Happiness that is derived from Serving Krsna with Luv, the Pleasure of Mukti is like a Particle of one tiny drop" – Bodhamrit-III
Challenge: Science is Saving the World
Hare Krishna, Gurudeva,
Thank you for the inspirational daily thoughts. May Krishna elevate you tohighest level for bringing us joy even in our darkest moment. Blessed are youto have this blessing from Krishna Himself.
Regarding your statement in yesterday's "Thought for the Day" thatthe scientists will not be able to make us immortal. To me your statement iscalled vanity and fruitless work, misleading to the masses and disturbing theminds of devotees.

The power of just being in the presence of a pure chanter of the holy name cannot be overestimated. The potency “exudes” from his person. You want to chant because you see how blissful he is in chanting, and if you talk to him you hear the gems of wisdom.

Defeat of Mayavada Philosophy by the Acharyas
When Sri Visnu Svami, one of the four acaryas of the Vaisnava cult, presented his thesis on the subject matter of suddhadvaita-vada, immediately the Mayavadis took advantage of this philosophy and tried to establish their advaita-vada or kevaladvaita-vada. To defeat this kevaladvaita-vada, Sri Ramanujacarya presented his philosophy as visistadvaita-vada, and Sri Madhvacarya presented his philosophy of tattva-vada, both of which are stumbling blocks to
Today I was thinking of these words of wisdom. We don't need to be in a hurry to chant our Japa, we just need to concentrate and steadily chant with determination and conviction to get back to Godhead. Don't be like the rabbit and race ahead to the end of your 16 rounds....relish the Holy names as you would relish delicious prasadam.
