Dear Prabhujis and Mathajis,
Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev!
Our beloved spiritual master H.H. Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj has deep love and affection for the young children and he always encourages them. When children recite the verses from Bhagavad gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, Maharaj becomes extremely pleased. So many parents took to Krishna consciousness just because of Maharaj’s encouragement and appreciation of the small children.

1. I gaze on a splendour that bears the name Radha, a splendour glorious like millions of lightning flashes, a splendour joyful with a festival of amorous pastimes, a festival that has beautiful jasmine-decorated braids, hair parted with a splendid line of red sindura, wonderful tilaka drawn with nine jewels, glistening earrings on its cheeks, a locket on its neck, a great necklace, and new red gar

If you say, "Oh, you are a karmi, you are a mudha..." actually he's a mudha, but in the beginning if you say like that, then there will be no opportunity to speak. He is a mudha, that there is no doubt -- working like hogs and dogs day and night for sense gratification. Certainly he is a mudha, a karmi. We have to preach, but if we say directly that "You are all mudhas, mayayapahrta-jnana, and duskrtina,"
After his lecture, Prabhupada called for questions. An Indian man stood up and said in a loud voice, ''Isn't it true that the all-inclusive conception of the Absolute...'' He rambled on. After about three minutes, the audience began fidgeting.
Prabhupada leaned toward the microphone and asked, ''Are you finished?'' ''No,'' the man retorted, and

Boys and Cows Saved From the Effect of Poison
1. Once, surrounded by boyfriends, Krsna went without Balarama to the Yamuna River after wandering through the forest of Vrindavan.
2. At that time the cows and cowherd boys were feeling acute distress from the glaring summer sun. Afflicted by thirst, they drank the water of the Yamuna River. But it had been contaminated with poison.
3. As soon as they touched the poisoned water, all the
Shri Shyamananda, Shrinvasa and Shri Narottama Dasa Thakura are all eternal associates of Shri Gaurasundara. For the purpose of preaching the holy message of Sri Caitanya all over the earth they appeared within this world.
Shri Shyamananda Prabhu was born in Utkala, in a place called Dharenda Bhadura Pura. His father's name was Shri
Lord Krishna is the ocean of divine love. Whenever Krishna appeared on this earth He had this ocean of love with Him, but every time He had different roles and different actions so the ocean of love was not open for all. When Lord Krishna appeared as Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu with all His associates He opened the ocean of love for all and also enjoyed Himself. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu taught the lesson of Krishna Consciousness to the world as a devotee of Lord Krishna. The wonderful ocean of lo
A special bath of Jagannath takes place on the Purnima of Jyestha month (Devasnan Purnima), to commemorate the appearance day of Lord Jagannath.
According to Skanda Purana when Raja Indradyumna installed the wooden deities he arranged this bathing ceremony. This day considered to be the birth-day of Lord jagannath. Held in the full-moon day of the month of Jyestha this festival is also simultaneously held in all other important Puri, it attracts thousands of visitors and pilgrims from all over th

1. O girl whose eyes are restless as khanjana birds, seeing You with an embrace, with kissing Your head, and with many loving glances, loved by the queen of Vraja as if You were her own daughter, will I celebrate a great festival of transcendental bliss in my heart?
2. O friend, within my sight will Queen Radha with You decorate Her beloved with flower ornaments in a forest cottage by the shore of Her lake?
3. O beautiful one, hearing from the parrot Vi
A Square Circle?
Question: If God can do anything, can he make a square circle?
Questions like these arise from not understanding the definition of God as the Supreme Being. Let’s consider the two kinds of impossibilities: practical and logical.
1.Practical impossibility: When the sacred scriptures describe that, say, Lord Krishna lifted the huge Govardhana hill in Vrindavana during his descent to this world five thousand years ago, skeptics may
dismiss this as impossible, because they deem possessi
Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Mathajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudeva.
Few days ago, one of the mathajis in our neighbourhood was admitted in hospital as she was suffering from dengue fever. Her blood platelet counts had come down and doctors informed that she is in very critical condition. We were informed that in a normal person the count of platelets should be around 1.5 lakhs whereas for her it was just 6 thousand and she had become unconsc
The Snan yatra bathing ceremony of Lord Jagannath has become one of the most popular festivals on the Iskcon calendar over the years since His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad introduced it to the world outside of India. Traditionally this festival has been going on since the time of the carving of the 'Dharu-brahman' Deities of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balaram, and Lady Subhadra in Sri Purushottam Kshetra (Jagannath Puri) thousands of years ago, commemorating Their sacred appea
