We should always do all our wordly activities for KRISHNA,direct all our activity towards KRISHNA inorder to convert them into spiritual.
As Lord KRISHNA HIMSELF Says"In all activities depend upon ME and work always under MY protection.
In such devotional service,be fully conscious of ME."(18.57)
Whenever there is KRSNA,THE MASTER OF ALL MYSTICS,AND WHEREVER THERE IS Arjuna ,the supreme archer,there will also certainly be opulence,victory,extraordinary power,and morality."
so, always feel presence of LORD ,HE is with us ,our LORD is waiting for HIS children but its our misfortune that we forget our LORD and engage in our wordly life which is mithya.
On Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's Desires
Srila Prabhupada told us that the only question he asked of his Guru Maharaja was, "How can I serve you ?" Now, several years after Prabhupada's apparent departure from this world, there is sometimes confusion and disagreement over how we should best serve him. "What does Srila Prabhupada want of us? What do we have to do now to please him?" The answer is simple, for Srila Prabhupada made it clear what he wanted: a world revolution of Krsna consciousness.

The Childhood Pastimes of Krsna

1. Sometimes the gopis would say, "If You dance, my dear Krsna, then I shall give You half a sweetmeat." By saying these words or by clapping their hands, all the gopis encouraged Krsna in different ways. At such times, although He was the supremely powerful Personality of Godhead, He would smile and dance according to their desire, as if He were a wooden doll in their hands. Sometimes He would sing

On Fulfilling Srila Prabhupada's Desires
"Satisfaction of the self-realized spiritual master is the secret of advancement in spiritual life."
This dictum (noted in the purport to Bhagavad-gita As It Is 4.34) formed the basis of Srila Prabhupada's approach to Krsna consciousness and his attitude towards his guru. He communicated this vital essence to us also: "We have to do something to please Srila Prabhupada."
Once a sannyasi asked a group of devotees, "Are you ready for death?" He let them think
Getting Srila Prabhupada's Mercy
Sastra states that only the most pious and fortunate can take to devotional service. Considering this, a devotee put it to Srila Prabhupada that his disciples were previously almost all wretched, unfortunate and devoid of pious activities. How, then, could they have got the opportunity to serve Krsna? "I have made your pious activities," Srila Prabhupada retorted.
Srila Prabhupada came to spread good fortune to the world. All who came in contact with His Divine Gra

I want one student who follows my instruction. I don't want millions. Ekas candras tamo hanti na ca tarah-sahasrasah. If there is one moon in the sky, that is sufficient for illumination. There is no need of millions of stars. So my position is that I want to see that at least one disciple has become pure devotee. Of course, I have got many sincere and pure devotees. That is my good luck. But I would have been satisfied if I could find out one only. Lecture, San Francisco, Ju

Suno man! Sabai shrutin ko sar.
A devotee says to himself, "Oh my mind! Listen to the gist of all the Vedas."
Ik maya ik jeev duhun ko, Ish brahm sakar.
"There are only three existences -- maya, the soul and God. Out of these three, God is the Governor of the soul and maya."
Mayadheen sanatan jeevahin, maya hi son pyar.
"The soul has been under the bondage of maya since eternity, and due to this, loves the material world."

Prabhupada was reading Krsna Book and he said, “If you just read this one
book, you can be Krishna conscious.” He said, “You don’t have to read
hundreds of books. Just this one book.” He had his glasses on, and I was
sitting in front of him. Then he just looked at me and he said, “You don’t
even have to read the whole book, just one chapter. If you just read one
chapter of this book, you can be Krishna conscious,” and I’m nodding

Answers by HH Romapada Swami Maharaja
Question:I live in a devotee community and often feel that I don’t know how to associate with others. I love them and try to serve them but all too often I just don’t feel emotionally safe in their association. I don’t feel free to be open in case they hurt me and thus I am wasting my life constantly holding back (defending like a kicked dog). I am desperate for some clarification on this point.
I am a very sensitive per
