One day, Sri Krsna sent a message to Srimati Radhika through Subala, who is one of His sakhas, and through Vrinda-devi that They should meet at a certain time. Krsna was on His way when He suddenly met Padma, Candravali's friend (Candravali is in opposite party of Srimati Radhika). Padma described Srimati Candravali's state of seperation from Him and repeatedly requested Him to meet with her. Sri Krsna could not ignore her plea, and went to

The Founder-Acharya has a special position for all time to come within the organized mission. In the Vaisnava line the previous acharyas selected and severely tested the earnestness and qualifications of their disciples. But among the special characteristics of the Founder-Acharya is his infinite compassion. He accepts all those who come and commands his disciples to do the same.

Krishna means the highest pleasure. We are all hankering after pleasure. We, the living entities, like Krishna, are full of consciousness, and we are looking for happiness. Krishna is perpetually happy, and if we associate with Krishna and cooperate with Him we will also become happy.
Krishna descends to this material world to show His pastimes in Vrndavana, which are full of happiness. When Lord Sri Krishna was in Vrndavana, His activities with His cowherd boy

As an introduction to this web page I would like to establish in the mind of the readers why I am personally strongly committed to my eternal spiritual master His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, and to his ISKCON mission.
Srila Prabhupada himself talks about his unique position in the following informal talk in Bhubaneshwar Jan.28′77:

मेरा भोला-सा कन्हैया
उसके नन्हे-नन्हे पाँव |
वो करे अपनी अटखेलियाँ,
नंद बाबा के गाँव ||
मैया की ममता,
बाबा का दुलार |
फिर जगपति बन गए,
ब्रज के राजकुमार ||
भूल गए सारा ऐश्वर्य,
फिर तो सुदर्शनधारी |
बन गए वो ग्वाल बाल,
जब भक्त बनी महतारी ||
नंद बाबा के खडाऊं,
कैसे सिर पे हैं वो उठाये |
जिनके चरणों के दर्शन को,
देवता भी तरस जाएँ ||
वो जो है परमपिता ,
वो अपने भक्त को पिता भी बनाते हैं|
ऐसे हैं कृष्णा मेरे जो ,
भक्त के लिए क्या नही कर जाते हैं ||
Please Note: The term ‘scientists’ mentioned in this article refers to those atheistic, materialistic scientists, who wish to disprove the existence of God and/ or ignore the role of God in the events occurring in this Universe. These do not include scientists like Professor Michael Cremo, who seek God through their work and prove His presence through it.
For decades now, scientists have creating men out of monkeys, by incessantly harping on about the evolution theory. This, despite the fact that

आजाद होना है तो हमें तो
कृष्णा का दास बनना होगा
क्योंकि वो हैं ही एक मात्र स्वतंत्र
उनसे ही हमें जुडना होगा.
उनका दास बनना
इस जगत की तरह नही
ये तो ऐसी ऊँची पदवी है
जैसे यहाँ मालिक की भी नही.
हमारे कन्हैया तो ऐसे मालिक है
जो सेवक के सेवक बन जाते हैं .
लक्ष्मी जिनके पैर दबाये वो प्रभु
कैसे पार्थसारथी भी कहलाते हैं.
जो जितनी उनकी सेवा करता
वो उतना ही सुकून पाता है.
वो प्रतिक्षण उनका गान करता
भौतिक बंधन से छूट जाता है.
ये माया ही तो बंधन है
प्रभु का सानिध्य है आजादी
प्रभु के बिना माया को पार पाना
ये तो है बस वक्त की ब
The Brahmanas’ Wives Blessed
1. Once Lord Krsna, the son of Devaki, surrounded by His cowherd friends and accompanied by His elder brother, Balarama, went a good distance away from Vrndavana, herding the cows.
2. Then the sun’s heat became intense, Lord Krsna saw that the trees were acting as umbrellas by shading Him, and thus He spoke as follows to His boyfriends.
3. [Lord Krsna said:] O Stoka Krsna and Amsu, O Sridama, Subala and A
