Why someone would take animal birth? Of course one thing would be thinking about the animal at the end of life. Other thing is to develop a consciousness which is more suited to the next birth being an animal birth, than a human being.
Like say somebody is drunk all the time, or something, that's just always in a stooper. They're not, they don't want to be very consci
On Remembering Srila Prabhupada
I personally felt the presence of Prabhupada very strongly in the early days of our preaching mission in Bangladesh. There were but few devotees, and we were spread thin. I had to spend weeks and months without strong association. It was underground work. There were many difficulties. I had to call to Srila Prabhupada for help, and that was the only thing that helped me to keep going.
Once I was traveling alone in Bangladesh, undergoing many difficulties, compounded

This is the 1974 Ratha Yatra in Melbourne, Australia. Prabhupada walked and did little dance steps the whole route without riding in the Ratha Yatra cart. On the evening of this day when I was mas saging Srila Prabhupada’s legs he remarked to me, “You were dancing nicely today”. His own dancing inspired me to dance and here I am yielding his cane while he plays karatalas. He is wearing flashy silk clothes, a white cadar and varied colored hat and turtle neck.

If you are a little pragmatic person and you are a regular newspaper reader
and watch news in TV channels, it will not take long for you to realise that
something dispropotional when it comes to something concerned with Hindutva
related happenings. Be it recent pub attacks or attack on churches, you
cannot miss the a week long mayhem reported in the media. You can easily
make out that media are sitting hawks that prey out and demonize anything

(The Nectar Moon of Sri Radha's Sweetness)
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 .

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
