Dearest Aindra prabhu,

Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

We, the members of the Festival of India in Poland, would like to express our extreme sorrow and lamentation over your untimely departure from this world. We know that the Lord has a plan for all His devotees, but nonetheless we are finding it most difficult to accept that you are no longer here.

For many of us, especially the ISKCON youth, you were a shining example of a true kirtaneer: one who relish

My dear devotees,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

All glories to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada! All glories to HG Aindra Prabhu!

My assistant called me from India, when I was on the way to the airport in Burma, and asked whether I heard about Aindra Prabhu. With the kind of tone in which he enquired, I thought of the worst, and it was true. Aindra had left us behind. I was shaken, shattered and shocked. I thought of flying to Vrndavan, but the arrangements could not be made in time. Unfortu

Hearing the news of Aindra Prabhu’s sudden departure was a great shock, and I could feel what a great loss it was for us all. He was a dear friend and well-wisher of all, and through his kirtana he gave shelter to devotees throughout the world. Ultimately, he gave protection and life to the whole planet.

I think of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who preached vigorously in Bengal and fought against many deviant sects. Later, he became discouraged because the devi

God gives everything. So why independently… it's like piecemeal… it is like watering the leaves of the tree to make the tree grow, you go out with a tea kettle or something full of water, a bartan, a pitcher, a jug full of water and start watering each leaf.

And someone says, “What are you doing man?” He says, “I am watering this tree.” “That’s not how you do it! Just put water at one place on the roots and through the roots, the tree will carry water to every single leaf.”

So the root of existenc

Krishna immediately recognizes a preacher

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on July 21, 2010 at 4:30pm

Letter from Srila Prabhupada, December 11, 1975

"The Sankirtana devotees are very dear to Krishna. Because you are doing the field work of book distribution, Krishna has immediately recognized them as true servants. Just like during war time, a farm boy or ordinary clerk who goes to fight for his country on the front immediately becomes a national hero for his sincere effort. So Krishna immediately recognizes a preacher of Krishna Consciousness who takes all risk to deliver His message.

Sense enjoyment cause of material creation

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on July 21, 2010 at 3:16pm

The cause of the material creation is described here very lucidly. The first cause is daiva, or the destiny of the conditioned soul. The material creation exists for the conditioned soul who wanted to become a false lord for sense enjoyment. One cannot trace out the history of when the conditioned soul first desired to lord it over material nature, but in Vedic literature we always find that the material creation is meant for the sense enjoyment of the conditioned soul. There is a nice verse whi

Remembering Srila Prabhupada - I worship Srila Prabhupada

Posted by Saci Gaurasundara Dasa on July 21, 2010 at 3:01pm

I worship Srila Prabhupada

I worship Srila Prabhupada who, when a young man stood up declaring, "I am God," roared back, "You are not God. You are a dog!"

I worship Srila Prabhupada who, at a meeting of influential Hindus in Japan, suddenly shouted, "Stop him!" in the middle of their Mayavadi guru's speech.

I worship Srila Prabhupada who, at a Gita Sammelan, in livid anger challenged the nationally reputed swamis assembled there, "Why are you cheating people in the name of Bhagavad-gita?"

PRABHUPADA SPEAKS ABOUT - A PERFECT HUMAN BEING

Posted by Janaka Dasa (Dr Jagadeesh TG) on July 21, 2010 at 12:35pm

Introduction

Every one of us is full of anxieties because of this material existence. Our very existence is in the atmosphere of nonexistence. Actually we are not meant to be threatened by nonexistence. Our existence is eternal. But somehow or other we are put into asat. Asat refers to that which does not exist.

A perfect human being - His qualities

Out of so many human beings who are suffering, there are a few who are actually inquiring about their position, as to what they are, why they are put i

Just Serve Krishna

Posted by Mayapur Vasi Das on July 21, 2010 at 10:52am

Krishna is so high above us
we can see only a flash.
But there’s a pure devotee,
and he can see the Lord with
eyes of pure devotion. He
can see Krishna up close in Vraja
to play with Him.

He’s a rare soul, and out of millions
of liberated souls you might find one
who sees Krishna up close
and plays with Him. The
gopis can do it. They
run out of their houses
and run to the spot where
Krishna stands. And the
birds stand above Him in
the trees meditating on His
form like mystic yogis.

A group of frogs was hopping contentedly through the woods, going about its froggy business, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit to see what could be done to help their companions. When they saw the depth of the pit, however, they became dismayed and agreed that they had no hope of rescuing their friends. They told the frogs in the pit that they should prepare for death. Nothing else could be done.

But the two frogs in the pit were unwilling to acce

Chanting of Mahamantra is more than a prayer!

Posted by money gupta on July 21, 2010 at 9:05am

Krsna bhakti is a whole different concept. It is based on the idea that I am the servant and God is the master. God is the centre and I am the part. I am dependant, He is independent. My role is to serve God and the chanting of the maha-mantra is different than praying because themaha-mantra is a prayer to be engaged in service. “Oh Radha and Krsna please engage me in service because I am your servant. I want to serve You.”

Glorifications - His Grace Aindra Prabhu

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on July 21, 2010 at 7:30am

Hare Krishna.

I just want to add my own words of lament to the hundreds and thousands of

devotees mourning the sudden departure of HG Aindra Prabhu.

Through his kirtanas, Aindra Prabhu penetrated all spectrums of Vaisnava

society--male, female; young, old; strict, casual; Indian, Western; ISKCON,

non-ISKCON--the list goes on. Even those devotees who never met Aindra

Prabhu in person strongly feel his separation.

His legendary devotion to the chanting of the maha-mantra has inspired an

Glorification of the memories of Aindra Prabhu

All devotees of Vrindavan assembled at Krishna-Balaram Temple 8.45 AM

on 19 July 2010 for glorifying the cherishing memories of HG Aindra

Prabhu and it continued up to 1.30 PM. The disciples of Srila

Prabhupada and senior devotees in Vrindavan briefed the wonderful

activities of HG Aindra Prabhu and his contribution to sankirtans, and

a highlight of it is as follows:

HH Prabodhananda Sarasvati Swami said, “Aindra Prabhu carried out the

Aindra Prabhu´s Pre Vrndavana Days

Posted by ISKCON desire tree on July 21, 2010 at 6:06am

I remember in New York - in the Brooklynn temple (the one that was bought

after the Manhattan building was sold). Aindra prabhu was so into kirtan. I

remember that many of the ladies would make fun of him because they didn't

appreciate his singing. He put together a beautiful altar which he attached

to the back of a flatbed truck. It became known as the Harinama truck. He

used to work on that project a lot, sometimes very late into the evening.

Once he said to me "Do you know what Romapada Maharaja to

The letters of god of death

The assembly of gods once met and decided to appoint a man to the position of Lord of Death, the official title being Lord Yama. They selected the most righteous man for this post. His duty was to take (escort) man at the proper time (upon death) to the celestial regions.
A man by the name of Amrita, living on earth, thought to himself that the one thing he feared most was death. He hit upon a bright idea that if he befriended the Lord of Death, then may be death can be kept at a distance. Amrit
