Prahlada said: O Supreme Lord! I bow down to You. O Lord Nrsimhadeva, I offer my obeisances to You. I am Your devotee. O Lord of lords, I now express to You my heartfelt inquiry. O Lord, how did I develop such intense devotion for You? O my Lord, kindly tell me-how did I become Your exalted devotee?

Lord Narasimhadeva said: O greatly learned one! O my son, listen carefully as I explain to you the reason for your devotion to Me that has made you very dear to Me.

In the ancient times, you were bo

As we prepare our hearts for the glorious appearance of Lord Narasimhadeva — the fiercest yet most compassionate incarnation of the Supreme Lord, who appeared solely to protect His pure devotee, Prahlada Maharaja.

His appearance reminds us of an eternal truth:

No matter how dark the times, how powerful the enemy, or how alone the devotee feels — the Lord will come. Even through a pillar, if He

Lord Nrisihadeva is very merciful to His devotees, and his mercy can be experienced in Andhara Pradesh, at a village called Darpally near Niazamabad, where a couple lives with the bare necessities of life.

This devotee was Lord Nrisimhadeva’s Pujari and developed attachment to Lord Narasimha deva. After his marriage he came back to his village and started Lord Gauranitai’s Vigraha seva at his home. But from the core of his heart he was prying to serve Lord Narasimhadeva’s vi

We are saddened to announce the passing of His Grace Agnideva Dasa on April 28th at 8:34 PM MDT in Salt Lake City, Utah, following a severe stroke he suffered on Sunday after Caru Das’s memorial service in Spanish Fork.

According to a post by Anuradha Dasi, “He was surrounded by a room full of devotees, with 99 devotees joined on Zoom—godbrothers, godsisters, senior devotees, and well-wishers. Kirtan continued throughout, creating a deeply peaceful and sacred atmosphere. The nurses and doctors p

Dear devotees,
With a heavy heart, we share that at 8:34 PM Mountain Time this evening, at the hospital in Salt Lake City, we said goodbye to our beloved Agnidev Prabhu.
He was surrounded by a room full of devotees, with 99 devotees joined on Zoom—godbrothers, godsisters, senior devotees, and well-wishers. Kirtan continued throughout, creating a deeply peaceful and sacred atmosphere. The nurses and doctors present were visibly moved, standing in quiet amazement at the beauty

The Saint in the Streets: Honoring the Disappearance of Sri Jayananda Prabhu

The global ISKCON community pauses to honor the disappearance day of one of its most beloved pioneers: Sri Jayananda Prabhu.

While many of the great acharyas we celebrate appeared centuries ago in the sacred land of India, Jayananda Prabhu’s story took place in the modern West. Yet, his pure devotion, unmatched humility, and absolute surrender to his spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

On May 1, 1977, the day before the festival honoring the appearance of Lord Nrisimha, Srila Prabhupada’s dear disciple Jayananda Dasa passed from this world. 

Shortly thereafter, Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter, “Jayananda’s death is glorious. . . . He has left his body very wonderfully, and he has been transferred to Vaikuntha. . . . Everyone should follow the example of Jayananda. I am very proud that I had such a nice disciple. If possible Jayananda’s picture should be hung in the ratha [f

“My Dear Jayananda,

Please accept my blessings.

I am feeling very intensely your separation. In 1967 you joined me in San Francisco. You were driving my car and chanting Hare Krsna. You were the first man to give me some contribution ($5000) for printing my Bhagavad-gita. After that, you have rendered very favorable service to Krsna in different ways. I so hope at the time of your death you were remembering Krsna and as such, you have been promoted to the eternal association of Krsna…as you wer

In this lecture, Guru Prasad Swami Maharaj explains the famous verse from Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad-gita: “Whatever state of being one remembers at the time of death, that state one attains in the next life.” He teaches that a person’s consciousness at death determines the next destination. If one remembers Krishna at the final moment, one can attain a divine spiritual state. If the mind is absorbed in material thoughts, one remains bound to material existence.

He gives the example of Maharaja B

In this talk, HG Amogh Lila Prabhu explains that the real strength of any company, organization, or family is not money, technology, or buildings, but people. Human beings should not be treated merely as “resources,” but with dignity, care, and respect. He says people usually do not leave organizations—they leave bad bosses or unhealthy relationships. Therefore, managing relationships is essential.

He explains that IQ (Intelligence Quotient) alone is not enough for success, because intelligent p

Agnidev Das, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada, was admitted to the hospital overnight after suffering a severe brain stroke. He is currently unresponsive and has no movement in his arms or legs.
Doctors have indicated that no further medical interventions are available, and are focused on keeping him comfortable.
Devotees are requested to please offer prayers for Agnidev Das and to share this message with others.
Devotees are also requested not to call his wife, Krishna Presthaya Devi Dasi,

By Kulavati Krishnapriya Devi Dasi, 

Some journeys begin with certainty while others begin with questions that refuse to be silenced—and for Ujjvala Radhe Devi Dasi, known professionally as Dr. Uma Pallavi Pothu, it was the latter. 

What began as a sincere search for answers has blossomed into a life of extraordinary purpose, where intellect, faith, and service meet with compelling strength. Today, as a psychologist, author, Bhakti Shastri teacher, and counselor at ISKCON Hyderabad, she has spen

Hare Krishna Dear Devotees & Well-wishers,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

As we continue through the sacred days of Narasimha Navaratri, the anticipation is building with just **2 days remaining** before the divine appearance of **Sri Narasimhadeva**, the protector of the universe.
Yesterday, April 27th, was truly unforgettable…
The beginning of the Sri Lakshmi Narasimhadeva Parikrama was simply magical as the Lord rode on His Simha Vahana.
