Those who lead a peaceful, sober life of prayer
Once a book distributor asked Srila Prabhupada about maintaining humility, when her engagement required her to be demandingly assertive. "Be
Compromise and flattery have no effect where strong words are required. POY Ch. 4
But does this not contradict the Vaisnava principle of humility? Not according to Srila Prabhupada.
Krsna is especially addressing as, "chastiser of the enemy." Where there is no excuse, you must be a chastiser. Not that, "Because I have become Krsna conscious, I'll be ve
प्रभु है आनंद के सागर
दुनिया है दुःख का रेगिस्तान
रेगिस्तान में ढूँढते हम
आनंद के मोती।
प्रभु हैं उजाला
ये दुनिया है अन्धकार
अन्धकार में कहाँ मिले
आशा की ज्योति।
प्रभु से दूर दौड़ रहे थे
और खुशी ढूंढ रहे थे
मिलती तो तभी खुशी
जब यहाँ वो होती ।
सुख की खोज में जब भागते-भागते
जब जिंदगी गुजर गयी
तब जाके पता चला
हम जिधर दौड़ रहे थे
वो दिशा ही उल्टी थी।
भगवान आते हैं इस धरा पर
भक्तों के उद्धार के लिए.
वरना उनकी एक भृकुटी ही
काफी है दुष्टों के संहार के लिए.
प्रभु भाव के भूखे हैं
और प्यार की हैं उन्हें प्यास
भक्तों से प्रेम का विनिमय करने
वो खुद भी आ जाते भक्तों के पास
जिनके अंदर है समाये जाने
कितनी पृथ्वी,कितने आकाश
उस विभु प्रभु को भी रख लेता
अपने ह्रदय में उनका दास
जिन्होंने गजेन्द्र के बंधन खोले
जिनका नाम ही कर दे पाप का नाश
वो नटवर भी न खोल पाते हैं
मैया यशोदा का वो प्रेम का पाश
प्रेम के लिए प्रभु तो
क्या नही कर जाते हैं
कभी व्रज में माखन चुराते हैं
कभी मैया क

The following conversation between His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and an Indian doctor took place in September 1973 at the Hare Krishna center in London.
Doctor: Can you scientifically prove that the soul exists? I mean, is it purely a matter of belief, or—
Srila Prabhupada: No, it is a scientific fact. Our science is perfect, because we are receiving knowledge from the perfect source, Krishna. And modern
Bodily consciousness is so strongly forced into people that hardly any religion is able to train their followers in real spiritual understanding. Even the religions are root
Significance and importance of Yogini Ekadasi Vrata was narrated by Lord Sri Krishna to Yudhistira (Dharmaraj). Krishna told the story of Hemamali, a Yaksha who was working at Kubera, the King of Alakapuri. Hemamali was very much attracted towards his gorgeous wife, S
People in general, especially in this Age of Kali, are enamored by the external energy of Krishna, and they wrongly think that by advancement of material comforts every man will be happy. They have no knowledge that the material or external nature is very strong, for everyone is strongly bound by the stringent laws of material nature.
The Highest perfection of life
A living entity is happily the part and parcel of the Lord, and thus his natural function is to render immediate service to the Lord.
What is satisfactory hearing? When we listen to the television? Or the Srimad Bhagvatam? So Srila Prabhupada in this purport (SB 2.6.46) stresses hearing about the Lord.
He says that one cannot be fully satisfied by hearing, unless and until, one is given a chance to hear the transcendental activities of the Lord.
Every living entity has a tendency to hear some pleasing messages and as such, almost every one of us is inclined to hear news and talks broadcast by the television and radio stations.

1. O girl with the golden lips, will the Krishna-parrot bite the nectar bimba fruits of Your lips, splendid with red khadira and camphor, placed by Me?
2. When will this person worship with black kajjala Your two eyes, which defeat the khanjana birds, and which, with the slightest movement from their corners, in a moment tightly bind the regal elephant of Lord Krishna?
3. His head reddened by the marks of Your feet as He tries to soothe Your jealous an
A verse from the ethics of the famous Indian political scholar Chanakya Pandita mentions four kinds of enemies:
runa karta pita shatru (a father who passes on debt to his children)
mata cha vyabhicharini (a mother who is not faithful to her husband)
bharya rupavati shatru (a wife who is very beautiful)
putra shatrur apanditah (a son who is not well-versed in Vedic knowledge)
The first item refers to a father who incurs debt that he then passes on to his descendants, instead of repaying it himself. Th
While grazing the cows, Krsna would sometimes leave His play(water-sports) with the sakhas for a while to meet the gopis in this lovely, secluded place. Krsna played hide-and-seek here with the vraja-ramanis. The gopis closed their eyes, and Krsna hid in a cave in a nearby hill. The sakhis searched for Him everywhere, but were anable to find Him. They became very worried. "Where could Krsna have gone,leaving us behind?" they thought, an
"In local PURI newspaper, 1/7/2010 , The DHARITRI, (the Earth) PURI Office of Tourism has reported this very favorable article:
(VERY significant that Prabhupada's Presence every year in PURI thru thousands of devotees has inspired media and residents to call us "bhaktas" now, not just foreigners:) This is most certainly Prabhupada's Greatness!
ARTICLE says:
Foreigner bhaktas helping to make the CART for Lord Jagannatha with the maharana (specified carpenter for LORDs Carts). They are making Cart t
So this spirituality or religion it is not so difficult, the whole methodology of religion or spirituality is simply a means to increase or elevate our vibrational level on which our consciousness exists and to bring that vibration to a higher refined spiritual frequencies. If we find our consciousness and elevate our consciousness then we can regain our spiritual perception of reality. We can actually enter the spiritual atmosphere which is all around us.
