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

1. O Radha, when will I see the moon of Your face, a moon risen from the ocean of nectar, a moon that shames the nectar moon of this world, a moon shining at every moment with a flood of glistening, sweet, ever-new moonlight, moonlight the two cakora birds of Krsna's eyes drink again and again with a thirst that is never satisfied?
2. Will I dive into the flooding current of the nectar of love, a cu

Please follow the below links a very HEINOUS ACT took place in Maharashtra last week.
Our Veda-vajmayam (All the Vedic Literatures) have greatly praised our Mother Cow, what is she to us.
Have a look at the condition of killing our Mother COW in Kali-yuga which has become a Prank toMuslims in ISLAM.
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

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I am just finishing up a North American tour, on which I did book distribution and conducted seminars. It has been very enlivening. While traveling I had the good fortune of Jayadvaita Maharajas association in New York City. He gave a very nice class the evening before I left. He spoke about book distribution (it's always nice to hear our leaders speak about it). Here's a little of the nectar: "I was traveling from
"NOT A BLADE OF GRASS MOVES WITHOUT THE SANCTION OF THE SUPREME LORD”—A TRIBUTE TO AINDRA PRABHU
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED BY BHAKTI MADHURYA GOVINDA GOSWAMI (MAKHANLAL DAS GOSWAMI)
The news this morning of the sudden departure of Aindra prabhu certainly comes as a great shock, as I am stunned along with all the devotees of the movement. There was certainly a great feeling of disbelief as I was given this report. He was my personal friend, as well as my beloved God brother. There are undoubtedly devo

Srila Prabhupad Comments
Just as Kṛṣṇa is addressed in the Brahma-saḿhitā as ādi-puruṣa, the original personality, so King Pṛthu, being an empowered incarnation of the Lord, is referred to in this verse as ādi-rājaḥ, the original or ideal king. He was a great devotee and at the same time a great hero who
A good leader is hard like a thunderbolt and soft like a rose. One without the other does not work. If a leader is just soft like a rose, he cannot train anyone. If he is just hard like a thunderbolt, he will burn everyone out.

On 13th July we celebrated our fourth Rathya Yatra in Ujjain.
The day started with Mangal arati in the presence of over a hundred college
students who had come from various cities of the state plus all the
congregational devotees in Ujjain. After the rousing kirtan a message was
read out from our beloved Guru Maharaj who regretted not being able to
attend this year’s function but encouraged all of us to work in a united
manner and make the Rathya yatra a grand success.

1. While Krsna and Balarama were enjoying life in Vrndavana in the guise of ordinary cowherd boys, the summer season gradually appeared. Because the Supreme Personality of Godhead was personally staying in Vrndavana along with Balarama, summer manifested the qualities of spring.
2. Intending to engage in pastimes, Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, accompanied by Lord Balarama and
