Get Cared for...Feel Cared for!
"One time Prabhupada was sitting with his hand on his head and he was saying, "You don't know what it is like to run a world-wide spiritual movement. You don't know." The inference, with the way that he was holding his head, was that it was a big headache.
Prabhupada was so concerned that we all stay together, that we all work together, that we all cooperate to spread the Krsna conscious movement. We have many, many devotees now and it's important that the devotees

What is this consciousness?
This consciousness is "I am." Then what am I? In contaminated consciousness "I am" means "I am the lord of all I survey. I am the enjoyer." The world revolves because every living being thinks that he is the lord and creator of the material world.
2 psychic divisions of material consciousness
Material consciousness has two psychic divisions. One is that I am the creator, and the other is that I am the enjoyer. But actually the Supreme Lord is both the creator and the enj

Isn't that unscientific?
Question: When I talk about God, soul, rebirth, people often question: why discuss such unscientific things in this modern age of science?
Answer: Their question originates not from their scientific thinking, but from their belief in scientism, the peculiar school of thought that places around science a halo of "omniscience."
The reputed physicist Fritjof Capra in his well-known book The Tao of Physics explains how scientific knowledge is like a map. Just as a map helps in
He ended the discussion by stressing the difference between mere belief and actual knowledge. "The more you become eager to know God, God will reveal Himself. From our side, we should not be stereotyped. People in different sects of religion, they say, 'We believe.' But they do not want to go further than they believe. That is very difficult. You must be dynamic and progressive, then you will have. I have talked with many sects, especially Christian priests. They will

Lord Caitanya's darsana of Nrsimhadeva...

Nothing could be manifested without being controlled.
Material nature is not independent. She is acting under the directions of the Supreme Lord. As Lord Krishna says, mayadhyaksena prakrtih suyate sa-caracaram: "This material nature is working under My direction."
When we see wonderful things happening in the cosmic nature, we should know that behind this cosmic manifestation there is a controller. Nothing could be manifested without being controlled. It is childish not to consider the controller

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
