Finding Joy in Everyday Spiritual Life
1.Create opportunities to do what you love to do for Krishna. We all have gifts and talents that are God- given. Use them in devotional service. When you do what you love to do, you often do it best, and giving your best to Krishna is what is wanted. The practice of surrender is often doing services that need to be done, for the pleasure of Krishna, even when it doesn’t suit us, or we don’t like to do it. That’s wonderful. And needed.

From H H Sachinanadana Swami
"One can give up inferior desires when engaged in superior desires. To try to stop desires is impossible. One has to desire the Supreme in order not to be entangled in inferior desires." (Srila Prabhupada in his SB purport to 4.22.39)

This is one of the widely celebrated Vaishnava festivals in Bangladesh that falls on the ‘Madhu Krishna trayodashi’ (the next trayodashi after Gaura Purnima). Everyone, regardless of age, participates with great enthusiasm to take a holy dip in the “Pana Tirtha’ on this very auspicious day.
“Pana” means promise. Advaita Acarya Prabhu’s Mother Nabhadevi desired to take bath in the Ganges but at the same time she was lamenting because of her old age and the Ganga being very far from her village. To

Song by Jayadeva Gosvami
When Radha saw Krsna enjoying affectionate exchanges with all the cowherd maidens in the groves of Vrndavana, she became indignant because he had not acknowledged her eminence. She immediately departed for another part of the forest and hid herself inside a shady bower that resounded with the drone of bumblebees. When the sakhi saw Radha powerless to go to Krsna despite her being fervently desirous of his company, sh
