Sometimes a saintly person is misunderstood by gṛhasthas, especially when he instructs their young sons to accept Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Generally a gṛhastha thinks that unless one enters gṛhastha life he cannot properly enter the renounced order. If a young man immediately adopts the path of the renounced order in accordance with the instructions of Nārada or a member of his disciplic succession, his parents become very angry. This same phenomenon is occ

Please do not be carried away by the mis given mind to conclude that the present life is all in all. You are eternal, and the present form of human life is a chance of realizing your eternal life. Do not spoil your life simply by serving the mis given mind and the uncontrolled senses. Please do not become your own enemy by your own self

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

This shows the blissful SnanYatra or bathing ceremony of Lord Jagannatha (a form of Lord Krishna), His brother Lord Balarama and His sister Lady Subhadra. Various items are used, such as fruit juices, milk, ghee, honey, water, yogurt, etc. This was held at the Detroit Iskcon Krishna Temple on July 18, 2010. Everyone who attended got the chance to bathe the Deities by pouring some of the items over the Deities. This is a prerequisite ceremony before we have the grand RathaYatra parade the followi

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

Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

The Prayers of Akrura

1. Sri Akrura said: I bow down to You, the cause of all causes, the original and inexhaustible Supreme Person, Narayana. From the whorl of the lotus born from Your navel, Brahma appeared, and by his agency this universe has come into being.

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
