The Killing of the Demon Trnavarta
1. One day, a year after Krsna's appearance, mother Yasoda was patting her son on her lap. But suddenly she felt the child to be heavier than a mountain peak, and she could no longer bear His weight.
2. Feeling the child to be as heavy as the entire universe, the astonished mother Yasoda put the child down on the ground.
3. While the child was sitting on the ground, a demon named Trnavarta, who was

1. When will Vrndavana's queen Radha, Her eyes restless with love and Her limbs like waves in the flooding ocean of nectar, place Her merciful glance upon me?
2. O queen of Vrndavana, I take shelter of your lotus feet, which are flooded with nectar, which are cool and pleasing, and which, placed over Lord Krsna's heart, extinguish the blazing fire of desire that torments Him.
3. I pray that my heart
By circumambulating the cow , one attains the result of circumambulating the whole world . One should give cows in charity and protect her in all respects. A foolish person who beats or chastises a cow goes to hell . A person who gives some food and water to a cow attains the result of performing the horse sacrifice . There is no doubt about it . Rare are those who daily worship and serve the cow .

Simply engage yourself in Krishna's service. That will protect you from any attack of maya. Maya can takeKrishna's place in our heart as soon as there is a slackness on our part. Otherwise, if Krishna's seated always, maya has no opportunity to occupy t

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shrive
Overturning of the Cart
1. When mother Yasoda's baby Krsna was slanting His body to attempt to rise and turn around, this attempt was observed by a Vedic ceremony. In such a ceremony, called utthana, the child is properly bathed. Just after Krsna turned three months old, mother Yasoda celebrated this ceremony with other women of the neighbourhood.
2. After completion of the bath, Yasoda found that her child closed His eyes in sleep

On Remembering Srila Prabhupada
Myself and many others practically perceive how the relationship with the spiritual master is not based on physical presence. I joined ISKCON as a young kid in 1975, when it was already a big world-wide organization. There was no question of just walking up to Srila Prabhupada and talking to him, nor even of getting an appointment to see him. We could attend lectures and darsanas, but felt (and were) too insignificant to ask him a question, even in the public forum
PRABHUPADA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY
"We take a newspaper and we read what the politician says, so many nonsense things. We waste our time. Srama eva hi kevalam. We should increase our taste for hearing and chanting about Visnu, Krishna."

Putana’s Deliverance
By Kamsa’s orders, the fierce demoness Putana went about killing children in towns, villages and pasture lands. Dressing herself just like a beautiful woman, she entered the house of mother Yashoda. Krishna showed the nature of a small baby and closed His eyes, as if to avoid the face of Putana. On that very spot, the fiercely dangerous Putana took Krishna on her lap and pushed her breast into His mouth. The n
So His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad because he took this message around the world he has created a very good name for the disciplic succession following Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
So we all must be very careful to do the same thing to be a good example of His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup
नही है भगवान सरलता से
कभी पुकार कर तो देखो
माँ की व्याकुलता से
ढूंढ़ कर तो देखो शराबी की
तड़प और आकुलता से
विश्वास कर के तो देखो
एक सति की दृढ़ता से
बात जोह कर तो देखो
मिलन की अधीरता से
फ़िर देखो कैसे नही
मिलते हैं भगवान
वो तो बैठे है अंदर ही हमारे
हम तो हैं बस इससे अनजान
