साँवरे की इन अंखियों को देख
नीगोरी अँखियाँ भी भर आयी हैं
जाने क्यों अब तक हमने ये
अँखियाँ कहीं और लगाई हैं

इन कजरारी अंखियों में
सारी दुनिया ही तो समाई है.
फिर भी हमने क्यों अपनी
अलग एक दुनिया बसाई है.

ये ओंठ जैसे कह रहे हो
अब जा मेरे पास
यूँ ठोकरे खा
तेरा रिश्ता मुझसे खास

खास ही तो है वो पिता हैं हमारे
हमने अपने सम्बन्ध हैं बिसारे
पर वो अभी भी रिश्ते को निभाते
सदा हमारे लौटने की बाट निहारे.

आज जो ये पीड़ा हो रही दूरी की
वो किसी अपने के लिए ही होता है
दिल तब ही तड़पता है यूँ बेबस
जब गहरा रिश्ता कोई खोता है

तेरी मुरलिया तेरी बाँसुरिया
कान्हा तेरी ये मनहर मुस्कान
कैसे संभाले खुद को बावरिया
उसके तो निकल रहे हैं प्राण

तेरी ये मुरली की धुन
बड़ी बेदर्द है वो मनबसिया
करे ठिठोली ये तो हमसे
तेरी तरह ही है ये भी रसिया

कान पड़े तो सुध बुध बिसराई
सुनूँ फ़िर तड़पूं घड़ी - घड़ी
सुनूँ तो हर्ष से , सुनूं तो
विरह में गिरे आँखों से लड़ी

ऐसी मनमोहनी छवी तुम्हारी
जिससे कहाँ कोई बच पाए
देख ली जिसने सांवली सूरतिया
फिर कहाँ कोई सूरत उसको भाए

Story of Lord Krishna

Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

Swallowing Forest Fire

fire6.jpg



1. After Krsna’s chastisement of Kaliya, because the residents of Vrndavana were feeling very weak from hunger,
thirst and fatigue, they and the cows spent the night where they were, lying down near the bank of the Kalindi.

2. During the night, while all the people of Vrndavana were asleep, a great fire blazed up within the dry summer forest. The fire surrounded the inhabitants of Vraja on all sides and began

Identity Crisis

The centre is God. All the spokes of the wheel are connected to the hub. Hub is the centre, the axle is the centre, the spokes radiate from the axle. They are connected there and they get their support there.

So we are the part and parcel of God and the centre is God, not us. It is an identity crisis, existential identity as an atma. This atma is a particle of consciousness and that particle of consciousness is meant to serve the supreme consciousness. Just like if you have a machine, it has so m

On Speaking Strongly in Srila Prabhupada's Service

Krsna appreciates such strong preachers as His dearmost servants, so let us work very enthusiastically to drive away rascal philosophy and establish the real religion of Bhagavad-gita As It Is. letter, 8 December, 1971

Confronted with a civilization being deliberately misled into hell, devotees cannot but speak strongly. Out of devotional attachment to Lord Krsna, devotees cannot tolerate the deliberately misleading nonsense spoken by rogues. The

True saintliness, then, does not fit the stereotype. Srila Prabhupada was decorated with innumerable transcendental qualities and was undoubtedly the greatest saintly person, yet he untiringly lambasted the demons and took pleasure in doing so.

Prabhupada: These animals, they are passing on as big scientists, philosophers, theologicians, and so on, so on. We have to stop them. Na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah. This is the qualificati

Nevertheless, some devotees strongly preach against strong preaching and think the worst possible thing a preacher could do is upset someone. They become disturbed at the apparent arrogance of the preacher, who derides the position of the non-devotees. However, just as ''be nice to all'' devotees may feel disturbed by clear-cut, incisive preaching, strong preachers feel disturbed by wishy-washiness.

Those who lead a peaceful, sober life of prayer

It may seem that aggressive preaching is disrespectful and hardly the behavior expected of saintly people. But it should be understood that a preacher of Krsna consciousness is not forceful for his own sense gratification. "Aggression for the cause of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is pure." letter, 30th July, 1975

Once a book distributor asked Srila Prabhupada about maintaining humility, when her engagement required her to be demandingly assertive. "Be

In other words, however peaceful we may want to be, the chopping technique is sometimes necessary.

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

Although Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees in disciplic succession can defeat all kinds of learned scholars, scientists and philosophers in arguments, thus establishing the supremacy of the Personality of Godhead, their main business as preachers is to introduce sankirtana everywhere.

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।
