Some of you are contemplating to also visit Jagannath Puri. Wonderful!
Here is short glorification of Puri - where the Lord Purusottama (the best of all persons) resides in this form of Jagannatha. It is taken from the Chaitanya Bhagavat:
From afar seeing the Jagannatha-temple flag, the Lord became plunged in an ocean of bliss. The wonderful, indescribable Lord loudly roared. His entire body trembled. He looked and looked in the direction of the temple. As He walked, the Lord recited a verse. In t
Jai Radhey rani ...
Jai Vrindavan Vilasini Radhey...
Jai Krishnapriya Devi...
Jai Krishnaswarupini...
Radha Rani is Sri Krishna's supreme bhakta. She is the heart and soul of our lord...No one knows Krishna better than Radhika. Sri Krishna controls everything as he is the supreme controller but It is Radha Rani who controls Krishna. Radha is Krishna and Krishna is Radha... they do not have distinct identities.
Radha ji is very sensitive,loving and innocent by nature...she loves Krishna unconditional
Bhagavad-gita should be taken up in a spirit of devotion. One should not think that he is equal to Krishna, nor should he think that Krishna is an ordinary personality or even a very great personality. Lord Sri Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So according to the statements of Bhagavad-gita or the statements of Arjuna, the person who is trying to understand the Bhagavad-gita, we should at least theoretically accept Sri Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and with that su

पाँच साल का लल्ला मेरा
जा रहा है मधुवन में
गैया नही, बछड़े है साथ
बछड़े ही चरायेगा न बचपन में
सखाओं से घिरा है वो
दाऊ भी हैं उसके संग
ऐसे सज रहा है वो जैसे
तारों में सजे चाँद का रंग
बछड़े चर रहे हैं और
ये खेल खेलते हैं
कभी लल्ला को पकडते हैं
तो कभी गले मिलते हैं
कभी फूल तोडते हैं ये
तो कभी फूलों की माला बनाते हैं
कभी पत्ते से सजते हैं
कभी लल्ला को माला पहनाते हैं
खेलते-खेलते थक गए
उन्हें अब भूख सता रही है
दोपहर का समय है
उन्हें अब कलेवा बुला रही है
पेड़ के नीचे बैठ गए सारे
लेकर अपनी-अपनी पोटलियाँ
कोई हाथ पे ही खाना प
हर रिश्ते हैं खोखले
माया की बिछायी जाल
नातों में उलझाकर
ठगनी चलती है चाल
हर चीज है क्षणिक
क्षणिक मिलन,क्षणिक जुदाई
फंसकर इसमें करते हम
जन्म-जन्मांतर तक भरपाई
हर सुख यहाँ का
दुःख की जड़ निकलता है
फिर भी जाने क्यों मानव
सुख देख फिर फिसलता है
दुनिया में दिल लगाता है
टूटना तो था ही,
फिर बैठ आँसू बहाता है
टूटे दिल को जोडने के लिए
नासमझ इंसान,
फिर किसी और को आजमाता है
दिल की तो फितरत ही है
लगाना
लगाने को ही दिल मिला है
पर सबका दिलवर एक ही है
कृष्णा
लगानेवाले को मिला सिला है
दिल लगाना है तो कृष्णा से लगा
प्यार करना है तो उससे
A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. When they met, Socrates asked the young man to walk with him into the river. When the water reached their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and dunked him under the water. The boy struggled to get out, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Finally, Socrates pulled his head out of the water, and the first thing the young m

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap in its shade.... He loved the tree, and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by. The little boy grew up, and he no longer played around the tree everyday. One day, the boy came back to the tree with a sad look on his face.
"Come and play with me," the tree asked the boy.
"I am no longer a kid, I don’t play around trees anymore." The boy

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 आ जा मेरे पास
यूँ न 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
मेरी
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
न सुनूँ फ़िर तड़पूं घड़ी - घड़ी
सुनूँ तो हर्ष से ,न सुनूं तो
विरह में गिरे आँखों से लड़ी
ऐसी मनमोहनी छवी तुम्हारी
जिससे कहाँ कोई बच न पाए
देख ली जिसने सांवली सूरतिया
फिर कहाँ कोई सूरत उसको भाए
कान्हा तेरी ये मनहर मुस्कान
कैसे संभाले खुद को बावरिया
उसके तो निकल रहे हैं प्राण

Hey Krishna Karunasindhu deenbandhu jagatpathe
Gopesh Gopikakant Radhakant Namostuthe...
Sri Krishna is love personified...He is the supreme giver of love...the only one who knows what true love is.Kindness is his nature and in spite of the fact that we are imperfect and commit many mistakes he never stops calling us - 'Listen my dearest one....come to me...you do not have to worry..I'll take care of everything...just come to me'.
All we have to do is to develop true faith in KRISHNA and then we wi
Swallowing Forest Fire
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
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
