Srila Prabhupad is coming to Delhi for the first time since the Vrindaban devotees factions attempted to overthrow me as temple president. I have discovered that I have actually developed quite a talent, by Sril
In order to learn how Krsna's pleasure can be obtained, we must
read the Tenth Canto of Srimad-Bhagavatam in which Krsna's pleasure
potency is displayed in His pastimes with Radharani and the damsels of
Vraja. Unfortunately, unintelligent people turn at once to the sports of
Krsna in the Dasama-skandha, the Tenth Canto. Krsna's embracing
Radharani or His dancing with the cowherd girls in the rasa dance are
generally not understood by ordinary men because they consider these
pastimes in the light of mun

Wherever there are discussions on mundane topics, pains and pleasures, may I restrain myself from going there. Let the rememberance of Your lotus feet decorate my heart. May I properly chant Your transcendental qualities unceasingly in the society of devotees.(1)

"May that Srimati Radhika--whose bodily complexion snatches away the pride of a golden lotus flower tinged with kunkuma, whose bodily fragrance reproaches the fame of a fragrant lotus sprinkled with saffron powder, and who fulfills all the desires of the prince of Vraja, Sri Krishna--always bestow upon me the service of Her lotus feet.
"May that Srimati Radhika--whose dazzling, colorful silk sari defeats the splendour of coral, who is a garden o
One day, when Sri Krsna was out grazing the cows with His akhas, nearby in a field, green chickpea plants were growing. Upon seeing them, Sri Krsna together with His Sakhas broke off some plants. The woman taking care of the field came to know of this and ran to catch them, but Kanhaiya was too swift. Keeping the plants under His arm, He ran very fast through crooked paths and finally came to a stop in Gahvaravana, where He roasted the gre
Q: Lord Buddha described as one of the Dasavataras and as a saktyavesa avatara. Which is correct? What kind of avatar is Lord Ramacandra?
A: Both are correct. The word "dasavatara" or "dasa-avatara" denotes not a category of avataras like yuga-, lila-, manvantara-, or other avataras but the most famous list of ten avataras (in Sanskrit "dasa" = "10"). This list is to be found e.g. in Garuda Purana 1.86.10-11 (or, according to other numbering, 2.30.37). There are other lists as well, li

Lord Krsna Lifts Govardhana Hill

1. When Indra understood that his sacrifice had been put aside, he became furious with Nanda Maharaja and the other cowherd men, who were accepting Krsna as their Lord.
2. Angry Indra sent forth the clouds of universal destruction, known as samvartaka. Imagining himself the supreme controller, he spoke as follows.
3. [Indra said:] Just see how these cowherd men living in the forest have become so grea
| Hare Krishna Friends, The happiest person on earth isn't always happy. In fact, the happiest people all have their fair share of low moods, problems and disappointments. Often the difference between a person who is happy and someone who is unhappy is not how often they get low, or even how low they drop, but instead, it's what they do with their low moods. Many people take their low moods very seriously and try to figure out and analyze what's wrong. They try to force themselves out of their low |
