We are not independent. Just like in the state, in your country, although you have observed the independence ceremony, but you are not independent. If you go... "Keep to the right," you go to the left, immediately your independence finished. You'll be punished. So this so-called independence is conditional. It is not absolute independence. If you want absolute independence then you have to go back home, back to Godhead. This is Krsna consciousness. We are hankering after independence, but so lon

Freedom means you must have independence. But because you are not absolutely independent, so you suffer. The Absolute Independent is God, Krsna. Just like government. The government orders: let this crowd be shot. Let there be bullet shot. Hundreds of men die. But government is not responsible for such death. But if you kill one man, you'll be responsible. So your independence is subordinate independence. Similarly, all living entities, they have been given independence by God, but his independe
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

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
though, see it as a reality to believe it. The Lord will be visible to
the naked eyes at the New ISKCON Centre at Kamala Nagar in Agra.
Devotees eager to witness this grant consecration ceremony- a feast to
the eye, ear and tongue- may please join us.

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.
Rescuers combing the rubble for trapped devotees said everyone was accounted for. "The temple has been burnt, basically destroyed, but no one was hurt, that is the best news," said Varsana Devi-Dasi, a spokeswoman for the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. 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
