Gita Govinda - Radha’s gaze upon Krsna
Song by Jayadeva Gosvami

Translation
Once, in the splendid spring season, when Radhika was pining for Krsna, she began to search for him in one forest grove after another. Her elegant, young limbs, soft as madhavi flowers, grew weary and Cupid made her mind delirious with anxiety.

We Must Be DEBTOR!

"Prabhupada said in a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture about what is our relationship with the Guru, 1974. He said, 'We must be DEBTOR! Guru. Debtor to the spiritual master, to the sages, to the saintly persons, because we are getting knowledge from them.

Therefore the Vyasa Puja is there. Once in a year the disciples are worshiping the spiritual master and trying to repay what he has received from the spiritual master.

Why we respect the Guru, Prabhuapda explains, because he does not manufacture. He say

The material world is but a shadow. If we hold our hand against the light it casts a shadow image. The shadow image is like an outline of the hand. It doesn't show the qualities of the hand, such as the hair, the skin, or the fingerprints. It is only a vague form.

Similarly, in the material world, what we see as admiration, servitorship, friendship, parental affection, or conjugal affection, these are all like incomplete shadows of their real form.

Just as the hand has so many variegated qualitie

dictatorship any longer, and she dec

The Five A's in Chanting: No.1 - Attraction

Here is a five part series focusing on the five A's in chanting the Holy names. Mahanidhi Swami Maharaja gives some very nice advice and realisations on this subject

1. Attraction

The inestimable power of Krsna's attraction acts everywhere in creation from the atoms to the cosmos. From the invisible movements of neutrons and electrons to the vast stellar orbits of huge planets and galaxies, Krsna exerts His influence through His powers of gravity and attraction. Krsna is the most beautiful and att

"The devotee should make it a regular practice to spend a little time alone in a quiet place and concentrate deeply on the Holy Name. He should utter and hear the name distinctly. It is impossible for the jiva to singlehandedly avoid and overcome the illusion of distraction. By the mercy of the Lord, however, this is accomplished with ease. Therefore it is essential to prayerfully beg for the Lord's grace with great humility, for this is the only means to salvation from this offense."

The Power Of Words Over Water

This doc is really conscious while speaking!

The mail is from Caitanya Caran Prabhu … Hari bol!


Can water be affected by our words? Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, believes so. And he has proof.


Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took photographs.
The results were totally mind-blowing.

Here’s a photo of ordinary water without any p

Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a

were very close friends. After sitting quietly for some time, one asked the
other, "What are you thinking?"

"I am planning to buy five acres of land, a garden." The other friend

Essence of All Disciplic Successions!


"We wander from birth to birth. Even we go sometime from one day of Brahma to another taking so many countless births. Going from one universe also to another universe, one creation to another creation.
Because once we're in a Brahmanda or Universe, we cannot leave until Lord Brahma dies or unless we get liberation. Either end of Brahma's life or our liberation. So we are here in the material world for a very very long time.
