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.

Dear Friends,
Here in Warsaw, when the sankirtan devotees returned to the temple last evening, one of them told me that while crossing the street, he had gotten hit by a car going a couple of miles an hour. Didn't hurt him, but broke his book trolley. The driver was freaked out, crying and apologising profusely. The devotee assured her he wouldn't call the police, but insisted she take a cookbook and a Bhagavad-gita. She did, plus she paid for his broken trolley. He also made her promise to read
Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Jogiya-sthala
Mahadeva Sankara worships Krsna here, and therefore this place is also known as Mahadeva's sitting-place (baithaka). Once, Mahadeva Sankara, desiring to have Krsna's darsana, was wandering throughout Vraja like a madman, but his repeated attempts bore no success. Sometimes, Krsna would be sleeping when he arrived and sometimes He would be sucking the breast of His mother. Also, Mother Yasoda did not want to show her baby Krsna to this st
By far the spiritual medical tour has been Mayapur Worldwide’s best tour till date. On my way back I kept asking Krsna why this tour was so extra special compared to any other we had conducted in the past.
The answers came in many ways. We were serving the hands that heal. These were HIS servants. And HIS servants are very dear to him. Every medical staff in the group came from different faiths but their faith lie in God.
These doctors, nurses, pharmacist were serving at various NHS hospitals in

The Prayers of Akrura

2. Earth; water; fire; air; ether and its source, false ego; the mahat-tattva, the total material nature and her source, the Supreme Lord’s purusa expansion; the mind; the s
There was a case of nuns in a court in Warsaw, Poland against ISKCON. Noting that ISKCON was spreading it's activities and gaining followers in Poland, a nun filed a case before a Judicial Magistrate praying that ISKCON should be banned because its followers were glorifying a Character called Krishna 'Who was loose in morals, having married 16,000 Gopikas'.
When the case came up for hearing the ISKCON defendant requested the Judge to ask the nun to repeat the oath she had taken when she was orda

It is said that a noble man accepts the good qualities of a person of
doubtful character, just as one accepts nectar from a stock of poison.
In His babyhood, Lord Krsna was administered deadly poison by Putana,
a she-demon who tried to kill the wonderful baby. And because she was
a demon, it was impossible for her to know that the Supreme Lord, even
though playing the part of a baby, was no one less than the same
Supreme Personality of Godhead. His value as the Supreme Lord did not
diminish upon His be

"O my Lord, devotees who engage in the transcendental loving service
of Your lotus feet have no difficulty in achieving anything within the
realm of the four principles of religiosity, economic development,
sense gratification and liberation. But, O great one, as far as I am
concerned, I have preferred only to engage in the loving service of
Your lotus feet."
The devotees can achieve not only liberation but any success in the
realm of religiosity, econo
Every ashram requires lots of adjustment but that is required for us
to be successful to rise above the karma. We don't know what karma is
still there, the aprarabda karma is stored within the heart - it is
stored in the heart, so many sinful reactions from so many lifetimes,
we don't know what is there. We don't know what reactions are still to
come.
