The Hindu front held a press conference on Tuesday. “We are a tolerant society. We are not against development in the country but there is a limit to everything,” said Srinjay Das, secretary of ISKCON.
According to Das, the most important point for objection is the smell of food items made from beef and poultry. “This will bother the devotees who are vegetarian,” he said, adding that cow protection is a fundamental Hindu religious principle.

greater well-wishing friend to any living entity than the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is so kindly disposed towards everyone that in spite of our completely forgetting our relationship with the Supreme Lord, He comes Himself--sometimes personally, as Lord Krsna appeared on this earth, and sometimes as His devotee, as did Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu--and sometimes He
The relevance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita in today’s age
The question of relevance for such topics comes into picture whenever certain systems of knowledge and certain practices are perceived to be outdated due to dynamically changing social structures and a widespread discomfort for anything labeled as religious, dogmatic or sectarian. The focus for this article is to try and brush aside these biases and objectively study the relevance of this very old but thoroughly timely system of knowledge in th

O son of Prtha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.
Lessons to be learnt - Arjuna's lamentation
Arjuna was addressed as the son of Prtha, who happened to be the sister of Krsna's father Vasudeva. Therefore Arjuna had a blood relationship with Krsna. If the s
Can you see a thought? Touch a thought? Taste a thought? None of the senses can witness a thought. It can only be witnessed by the mind. The thought is the expression of the mind. What is the nature of mind? Mind is linked to the senses. The senses perceive an object and relay that information to the mind. The mind response to that object by saying, ‘I like it or I do not like it. I want it or I do not want it.’ The mind is accepting or rejecting. The mind is hankering for its wants and
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 of water. And in that desperation, due to longing and hopefulness, sometimes a mirage appears. It appears that that mirage can quench his/her thirst, but all he/she gets is a mouthful of hot sand.
So what is real love? In ord

1. The young women of Vraja became astonished upon seeing Lord Krsna’s servant, who had long arms, whose eyes resembled a newly grown lotus, who wore a yellow garment and a lotus garland, and whose lotuslike face glowed with brightly polished earrings. “Who is this handsome man?” the gopis asked. “Where has he come from, and whom does he serve? He’s wearing Krsna’s clothes and ornaments!” Saying this, the gopis
Dear Prabhus and Matajis, Hare Krishna.

Please see the appended report of IMYC's book distribution activities on 21 & 22 January 2011.! Here is something that IMYC would like to share with you.
ISKCON Malaysia Youth Council had two subsequent nights of Sankirtan on both 21&22 January 2011 in conjunction with Thaipusam Festival at Batu Caves. On 22 January 2011, we first tried to get a spot to display our books, since we couldn’t us

There is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Shetland Islands. On one trip, the boat was full of young people.
They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.

One of the very senior devotee, HG Akrura Prji from UK write the following amazing insight in his blog:
Devotees sometimes come to me and tell me, "ISKCON should do this. ISKCON should do that."
I say: "What is ISKCON? Who is ISKCON? I think YOU are ISKCON - therefore YOU should do what you think ISKCON should do. It is everyone's responsibility to make ISKCON as Prabhupada wanted it. It is not only current leaders' responsibility."
Truly said prabhuji.
Please accept my humble obeisa
I came across this video on Youtube which shows some phone calls from the people who were stuck inside the twin towers after they were hit by the plane. These people don't know what really has happened and all they can see is dense smoke inside the building. Few of them could sense that these may be the last moments of their lives, and they made phone calls to their loved ones. Few people made calls in desperation to Emergency Services.
This video made a deep impact on me. It once again re-emp

One must, according to our sincerity and capacity, we must restrain our senses on those things which are unfavorable for devotional service and simultaneously we must fix our consciousness on Krishna by engaging in positive activities of devotional service. In all situations we can shelter of Krishna by chanting His name, by associating with His devotees, reading His books and hea
