I am really impressed by this article written by Chetan Bhagat the famous novelist which really touches the hearts of the Indian people. India is the country with the most promising economic progress predicted in the coming millenium geared towards becoming the next economic giant. yet the irony is that India is the only country which such stark contrast in the sense that on one side are

The Birth of Lord Krsna
1. At the auspicious time for the appearance of the Lord, the entire universe was surcharged with all the qualities of goodness, beauty and peace. The constellation Rohini appeared, as did stars like Asvini. The sun, the moon and the other stars and planets were very peaceful. All directions appeared extremely pleasing, and the beautiful stars twinkled in the cloudless sky. Decorated with towns, villages, m

Whenever I think of my dear godbrother His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, I
think of how "fired up" he is - how absolutely enthusiastic for preaching
seva and how he ignites us also.
"Become Fire" - is His Holiness Jayapataka Swami's motto.
In Germany there is an almost forgotten legend which I would like to tell
for the pleasure of His Holiness and the devotees. It tells us about a small

बड़ी लगन से चली ढूँढने
अपने श्याम सुन्दर को
मनभावन मनमोहन
श्यामल नन्द्कुंवर को
वृन्दावन उन्हें बड़ा प्रिय है
वहां ही वो रमते हैं
मन ने कहा बावरी
हम भी वही चलते है
कुञ्ज गली में छुप के ढूंढा
कहीं दिख जाए वो माखनचोर
कहीं किसी घर में दिख जाये
छाछ पे नाचता नंदकिशोर
सुबह से हो गयी शाम
पर आये नही घनश्याम
न बंशी बजी न गैया दौडी
न ही लौटे वन से वनचारी
कुञ्ज वनों में भी पुकारा
निधिवन को छान डाला
न गोपियाँ सज रही थी
न संवर रही थी वृषभानु दुलारी
शायद सांवरे इतने सुलभ नही
तभी तो छुप गए हमसे रासबिहारी
गैया दिखी दिख गए ग्वाले
दिखी
आत्मा का घर ही तो है
ये हमारी सुन्दर-सी काया
मिट्टी के इस घर पे ही
हमने कितना लेप लगाया
रगड़ - रगड़ घर को चमकाया
भाँति - भाँति से इसे सजाया
इसी घर के आगे -पीछे बस
कर दिया हमने जीवन जाया
ख़त्म हुआ जब सांसों का किराया
आत्मा ने कर्मों का झोला उठाया
किसी काम की न रह गयी काया
जिसके लिए हमने जीवन गंवाया
हर दिन ही कई घर खाली होते
रह जाता यही सब जमा - बकाया
अपनी तो साँसें चल रही है अभी
यही कह हमने दिल को बहलाया
कैसी है ये प्रभु की माया !!!
जन्म के बाद मरण है निश्चित
मरण के बाद फिर एक जन्म
फिर होगा एक नया शरीर
जैसे किये होंगे हमने कर्म
जन्म-मृत्यु के अनवरत चक्र में
विलाप का विषय है ही कहाँ
जन्म भी तो मृत्यु किसी -की
मृत्यु भी तो है एक जन्म यहाँ
न ही जन्म पे सुख है कोई
न ही मरण है दुःख की बात
आत्मा के लिए तो दोनों ही
हमेशा की होती काली रात
आत्मा का सबसे बड़ा कष्ट है
किसी भी देह को धारण करना
चौरासी लाख योनियों के
अंतहीन सफ़र में भटकना
जिस दिन इस चक्र से मुक्ति मिल जाती है
आत्मा परमात्मा के चरणों में पहुँच जाती है
आनंद के सागर में नित गोते वो लगाती है

I was walking along the beach with the lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belongs to me, the other to the Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that at many times along the path of my life, especially at the very lowest and saddest times, there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it. “Lord, you said

Spiritual Surgery and Krishna's Promise

There was a king of the name Satrajit within the jurisdiction of Dvaraka-dhama. He was a great devotee of the sun-god, who awarded him the benediction of a jewel known as Syamantaka. Because of this Syamantaka jewel, there was a misunderstanding between King Satrajit and the Yadu dynasty. Later on the matter was settled when Satrajit voluntarily offered Krsna his daughter, Satyabhama, along with the jewel Syamantaka. Not only was Satyabhama married to Krsna on account of the Syamantaka jewel, bu |

The Ramayana describes how Lord Rama built a bridge and crossed the ocean to Lanka. Before the battle with Ravana began, Ravana’s youngest brother Vibhishan came to take shelter of Rama. Rama immediately gave him shelter. That is the duty of a king, a ksatriya. If someone seeks shelter, you must give him protection. But the advisors of Lord Rama said, ”No! Don’t give him shelter. He’s from the enemy’s camp. He has come here as a spy.” Lord Rama then told his advisors a story:
