In Bhagavad-gita it is said that at the time of death one will be absorbed in the thoughts which he cultivated during his lifetime. A person who had no other idea than to properly maintain his family members must have family affairs in his last thoughts. That is the natural sequence for a common man.The common man does not know the destiny of his life; he is simply busy in his flash of life, maintaining his family. At the last stage, no one is satisfied with how he has improved the family econom

To more clearly present his questions Mustafa began speaking in Parsi with Atreya Rsi prabhu translating. "His question is, 'How can I have more faith in God?'"
"The more you know about these things," Prabhupada told him.
Mustafa's response indicated that he understood that one must inquire. Prabhupada was pleased. "Yes. Oh, very good. Very good. There is a verse in Caitanya-caritamrta-siddhanta boliya citte na kara alasa iha haite krsne lage sudrdha manasa: We have

I am just finishing up a North American tour, on which I did book distribution and conducted seminars. It has been very enlivening. While traveling I had the good fortune of Jayadvaita Maharajas association in New York City. He gave a very nice class the evening before I left. He spoke about book distribution (it's always nice to hear our leaders speak about it). Here's a little of the nectar: "I was traveling from
"NOT A BLADE OF GRASS MOVES WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF THE SUPREME LORD”—A TRIBUTE TO AINDRA PRABHU
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY BHAKTI MADHURYA GOVINDA GOSWAMI (MAKHANLAL DAS GOSWAMI)
The news this morning of the sudden departure of Aindra prabhu certainly comes as a great shock, as I am stunned along with all the devotees of the movement. There was certainly a great feeling of disbelief as I was given this report. He was my personal friend, as well as my beloved God brother. There are undoubtedly devo
What the world needs for true happiness is a shift from exploitation to service, arrogance to humility, selfish cruelty to compassion and hatred to love.

Srila Prabhupad Comments
Just as Kṛṣṇa is addressed in the Brahma-saḿhitā as ādi-puruṣa, the original personality, so King Pṛthu, being an empowered incarnation of the Lord, is referred to in this verse as ādi-rājaḥ, the original or ideal king. He was a great devotee and at the same time a great hero who
A good leader is hard like a thunderbolt and soft like a rose. One without the other does not work. If a leader is just soft like a rose, he cannot train anyone. If he is just hard like a thunderbolt, he will burn everyone out.

On 13th July we celebrated our fourth Rathya Yatra in Ujjain.
The day started with Mangal arati in the presence of over a hundred college
students who had come from various cities of the state plus all the
congregational devotees in Ujjain. After the rousing kirtan a message was
read out from our beloved Guru Maharaj who regretted not being able to
attend this year’s function but encouraged all of us to work in a united
manner and make the Rathya yatra a grand success.

Lord Balarama Slays the Demon Pralamba
1. While Krsna and Balarama were enjoying life in Vrndavana in the guise of ordinary cowherd boys, the summer season gradually appeared. Because the Supreme Personality of Godhead was personally staying in Vrndavana along with Balarama, summer manifested the qualities of spring.
2. Intending to engage in pastimes, Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, accompanied by Lord Balarama and

1. O beautiful-eyed one, will I soon worship Your two lotus feet with jeweled anklets and the petals of Your lotus feet with toe-rings? With a splendid belt will I soon worship Your hips, the sacred pilgrimage place of Lord Krishna?
2. Bowed down with intense bliss, with two jeweled armlets will I decorate Your two graceful lotus arms, which expertly destroy the peacefulness of the swan of Lord Krishna's heart?

लाल अंगोछा,पीली धोती
हाथ में कंगन,गले में मोती
ऐसा रूप सजा कान्हा का
लगता जैसे जगमत ज्योति
बैजयंती माला है लटके
पैर में पैजनिया बाजे
केसर तिलक शोभे सिर पे
कमर में करधनी साजे
कान में कुंडल,आँखों में काजल,
और होठों पे है लाली
मोर पंख के साथ है खिलती
सिर पे ये पगड़ी निराली
काली-काली लटों के बीच
श्यामल-सा ये मुखड़ा
जैसे सूरज चमक रहा हो
और पीछे बादल का टुकड़ा
मंद-मंद मुस्काए कान्हा,
वंशी बजाये मीठे गीत
मादक मुरली सुनके राधा
आ गयी तोड़ जगत के रीत.

Nakula Kaufman: For many, many years H.G. Aindra prabhu presided in Vrndavan over the group of boys and men that comprised the 24 hour kirtan yatra. The ashrama became famous not only for exporting the most attractive, potent and infective Kirtan in the world but as a training ground for many a young devotee to imbibe the mood and hone the skills of the performance of Hare Nama Sankirtana. Aindra prabhu was a master of inspiring and training such boys, many of whom often entered as rough cut sto
