Srila Prabhupada's tooth

August 15th, 1976

Srila Prabhupada rang his buzzer early this morning. I entered his room, offered my obeisances, looked up -- and got a shock. Srila Prabhupada was smiling -- revealing a gap where his tooth should have been.

With mixed dismay and surprise I asked, "Srila Prabhupada, what happened to your tooth?"

Without saying anything, Srila Prabhupada reached down and pulled open the drawer of his desk. The tooth was lying inside. During the night it had either fallen out

We were about to drive from Townsville, in North Queensland, to Brisbane, a distance of about 400 km. There is a big market in Townsville that I thought would be great for harinam and book distribution. But my wife felt a bit sick and wanted to leave right away so that we wouldn't get to our destination too late in the evening. I agreed with her proposal. So we set off with no plans to do books -- but Krsna had other plans.

I stopped in a side street to wash some fruit to eat on the way. There

Oh, My Master’s Lotus Feet Are Bittersweet

By Tamal Krishna Goswami

God’s greatest gift, service to my master,

Exorcist of the ghost of past desire,

Sweet purgative, bittersweet oil of castor.

I’ve found my master’s service does inspire

Desirelessness of all but pleasing him;

Without remorse, I watch life’s joys expire.

Let lust retire, that most acidic sin,

By guru’s grace, its misery alkalize

My soured life, rescued by his discipline.

I hide my sin in shame lest he recognize

My faults and condemn what I e

A Hare Krishna temple in Leicester was evacuated seconds before an explosion almost destroyed the building, according to fire crews.

A religious celebration was being held at the property in Thoresby Street when one of the occupants went to disconnect a gas cylinder being used for cooking.

Leicestershire Fire Service said the man noticed the valve was leaking and got everyone out with moments to spare.

It was a "miracle" no-one was killed, watch manager Bill Smith said.

LONDON — A gas explosion ripped through a ISKCON Leicester temple in England on Friday destroying part of the building but leaving no one injured.

Temple officials said the explosion was caused by a gas leak at the temple. Gauran

While coming to Krishna consciousness times and again I shied away from teaching Mahamantra to the kids of my Play school. The very thought of getting criticized by family, parents of kids and onlookers kept me miles away from doing so. Then I came across the following verse was found in the purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 2.4.3-4

A few years ago my wife Krsna Rupa and I met an Indian gentleman named Gyan who was interested in the Srimad Bhagavatam set. We went to his house to show him the books, did kirtan and gave him some prasadam. He ended up getting $1600 worth of books; the Srimad Bhagvatam set, Caitanya Caritamrta, Lilamrta, Hari Sauris books etc.

We would go and visit occasionally, do a program and he would gradually pay for the books. But one day I lost his phone number. So we drove around to his house only

Everyone uses microwave ovens to heat and cook food, especially in the western countries. The microwave oven has become a "must have" kitchen tool. Nearly all the scientists have officially stated that there is absolutely nothing wrong in using microwave ovens. Everyone has accepted the Scientists opinion that microwave ovens are safe.
