Never Forget Krishna

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap in its shade.... He loved the tree, and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by. The little boy grew up, and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face.
"Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore." The

Story of Lord Krishna

The Rasa Dance

The-Rasa-Dance.jpg



1. There on the Yamuna’s banks Lord Govinda began the pastime of the rasa dance in the company of those jewels among women, the faithful gopis, who joyfully linked their arms together.

2. The festive rasa dance commenced, with the gopis arrayed in a circle. Lord Krsna expanded Himself and entered between each pair of gopis, and as that master of mystic power placed His arms around their necks, each girl thought He was

Purnachandra Maharaja's health update

2514789759?profile=original


Dear Devotees,


Dandavat pranams. Jay Srila Prabhupada!


HH Purnacandra Maharaja is still in coma and it seems that there is not much
that the doctors can do to get him out of it. He is on life support, but the
doctors at this point are not talking about discontinuing with life support.

The problem in Moscow is getting the right information from the doctors
because they are reluctant to speak about his predicament as Maharaja is an
American citizen, without any 'legal' representative in Russia. T

How can God tolerate demoniac activities?

Hare Krishna :)
Please accept my humble obeiances.

I've been looking forward to ask this question for quite a long time.
Krishna, the Supreme personality of Godhead, He is the cause of all causes,and everything emanates from Him.
In one BG lecture as Srila Prabhupada, was explaining , from one (single whole) God became many because he wants to enjoy with many.
Now, when the spirit conditioned souls like us, we commit demoniac activities, launch attack on the innocent how God could still get pleasure

Introduction

mukha-padmad vinihsrta

Because Bhagavad-gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad-gita. In the present age, people are so absorbed in mundane activities that it is not possible for them to read all the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice, becau

Now Krishna became somewhat bigger. One day Yasoda told Him, “It’s your birthday today. Go and bring a female calf here, and worship her.“ Krishna became so happy. He went out and chose a very beautiful she-calf, who was as snow-white as a swan.

The calf was very healthy, and stout and strong, and was jumping here and there. Krishna wanted to catch her, but He couldn't, because she was jumping so much. After a great struggle, He managed to

WHAT PRICE FREEDOM?

We all want our freedoms, but it seems they are not so free. Recent figures reveal that the cost of freeing Iraq and hopefully the rest of us from tyrants and terrorists is well over one trillion dollars and rising. Then there is the grisly cost of casualties, over ninety thousand dead and innumerable others injured.

That is just one war among so many, all fought with the hope of gaining or preserving someone’s freedom. But even in peacetime we still have to pay for freedom. To be free to walk th

One must become a servant of the holy name

“In the spiritual world the Absolute is always Absoute; the name, form, quality and pastimes of the Absolute are all as good as the Absolute Himself. As such, one is understood to be an eternal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If he considers himself an eternal servant of the holy name and in this spirit distributes the holy name to the world. One who chants in this spirit, without offenses, is certainly elevated to the platform of understanding that the holy name and the Personali

THE ENEMY WITHIN

The recent suicide attacks in London were a crime not just against humanity,
but against God and indeed life itself. Human life is a gift from God for us
to achieve life’s perfection and go back to him. No one has the right to
maliciously destroy that gift, especially in God’s name.

But in truth life itself cannot be destroyed. We are eternal spiritual souls
inhabiting material temporary bodies. We are not destroyed when the body is
killed. The Bhagavad-gita says, "For the soul there is neither birth
