My Memories of Srila Prabhupada
The last darsana I had of Srila Prabhupada was in October, 1977, just one month before he left. I had been with the BBT Library Party, which was just winding up its activities in India. We were in Allahabad, when Yagna Prabhu, the party leader, suddenly said, "Let's go and take darsana of Srila Prabhupada." So we drove the whole day and arrived in the early evening in Vrndavana. I was surprised how easy it was to go into Srila Prabhupada's room. There were quite a

Next Srila Prabhupada gave me a sheet with the words of the mantra and told me to repeat after him word by word. I was quite proud about my supposed ability in Sanskrit pronunciation, but Srila Prabhupada corrected me on almost every word. On some words he had to correct me two or three times. But after going through one or two mantras Srila Prabhupada stopped trying to rectify my pronunciation. He seemed to think that I was a hopeless case, and just let me go on w
ग्वालन :::::::::
श्य़ाम मोहे वृंदावन जानो लौट कर बरसाने आनो
मेरी कर जौरों की मानो अब होय़ है देर,
लड़े घऱ सास जेठानी रे,
इकली घेर लई मधुवन में.......
श्य़ाम::::::
दान दही को दे जा मोय, ग्वालन तभी जान दऊं तोय
नहीं तकरार बहुत सी होय, जो करि दे इंकार होय तेरी
खेंचा तानी रे,
इकली घेर लई मधुवन मे
श्य़ामराधे कोई ना कहता,
कहते राधेश्य़ाम
जन्म जन्म के भाग जगा दे,
ईक राधा का नाम ।
राधा के बिना श्य़ाम है आधा,
कहते राधेश्य़ाम ।
बोलो राधे-राधे राधे-राधे
राधे-राधे श्य़ाम ।।
वर्य़्थ पड़ा माला बिन मोती,
वर्य़्थ बिना दीपक के ज्य़ोति
चंदा बिना चाँदनी कैसी,
सूरज बिना धूप ना होती ।
बिन राधा के कहाँ है पूरा,
नटनागर का नाम
बोलो राधे-राधे राधे-राधे
राधे-राधे श्य़ाम ।।
साथ है जैसे जल की धारा
साथ है जैसे नदी किनारा
साथ है जैसे नील गगन के
सूरज चंदा तारा तारा ।

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
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
