इन्द्रदेव तथा माता सुरभि द्वारा स्तुति (10.27)

4-6 राजा इन्द्र ने कहा: आपका दिव्य रूप शुद्ध सतोगुण का प्राकट्य है, यह परिवर्तन से विचलित नहीं होता, ज्ञान से चमकता रहता है और रजो तथा तमोगुणों से रहित है। आपके भीतर माया तथा अज्ञान पर आश्रित भौतिक गुणों का प्रबल प्रवाह नहीं पाया जाता। तो भला आपमें अज्ञानी व्यक्ति के लक्षण – यथा लोभ, काम, क्रोध तथा ईर्ष्या किस तरह रह सकते हैं क्योंकि इनकी उत्पत्ति संसार में मनुष्य की पूर्व-लिप्तता के कारण होती है और ये मनुष्य को संसार में अधिकाधिक जकड़ते जाते हैं? फिर

Dandwat Pranam, PAMHO, AGTSP.

As per Shiv Puran, there was a fight between Lord Bramha and Lord Vishnu for supremacy.

I was having a discussion with one of my collegues and i tried to counter it with Bhagvat version.

Do we have any refernce in Shiv Puran which justifies the subject matter and how do we counter it.

कालिय की पत्नियों एवं कालिय नाग द्वारा स्तुति (10.16)

33 कालिय सर्प की पत्नियों ने कहा: इस अपराधी को जो दण्ड मिला है, वह निस्सन्देह उचित ही है। आपने इस जगत में ईर्ष्यालु तथा क्रूर पुरुषों का दमन करने के लिए ही अवतार लिया है आप इतने निष्पक्ष हैं कि आप शत्रुओं तथा अपने पुत्रों को समान भाव से देखते हैं क्योंकि जब आप किसी जीव को दण्ड देते हैं, तो आप यह जानते होते हैं कि अन्ततः यह उसके हित के लिए है।

34 आपने जो कुछ यहाँ किया है, वह वास्तव में हम पर अनुग्रह है क्योंकि आप दुष्टों को जो दण्ड देते हैं वह

Hare Krishna
Dear Devotees,
Happy Ekadashi.

A Gorakshya (Cow Protection) Perspective by Syamasundara Das

I am submitting a response to an article I read very recently by Jennifer Mishler in Sentient Media. Plant-Based Companies Call Attention to ‘the Cow in the Room’ at COP26 (https://sentientmedia.org/plant-based-companies-call-attention-to-the-cow-in-the-room-at-cop26/)

In Jennifer Mishler’s article she mentions ‘environmental harms of animal agriculture, often left out of climate change discussions—and most importantly—not addressed i

ब्रह्मा द्वारा स्तुति (10.14)

1 ब्रह्मा ने कहा: हे प्रभु, आप ही एकमात्र पूज्य भगवान हैं अतएव आपको प्रसन्न करने के लिए मैं आपको सादर नमस्कार करता हूँ और आपकी स्तुति करता हूँ। हे ग्वालनरेश पुत्र, आपका दिव्य शरीर नवीन बादलों के समान गहरा नीला है; आपके वस्त्र बिजली के समान देदीप्यमान हैं और आपके मुखमण्डल का सौन्दर्य गुञ्जा के बने कुण्डलों से तथा सिर पर लगे मोरपंख से बढ़ जाता है। अनेक वन-फूलों तथा पत्तियों की माला पहने तथा चराने की छड़ी (लकुटी), शृंग और वंशी से सज्जित आप अपने हाथ में भोजन का कौर लिए हुए

नलकूवर तथा मणिग्रीव द्वारा स्तुति (10.10)

24-27 सर्वोच्च भक्त नारद के वचनों को सत्य बनाने के लिए भगवान श्रीकृष्ण धीरे धीरे उस स्थान पर गये जहाँ दोनों अर्जुन वृक्ष खड़े थे। “यद्यपि ये दोनों युवक अत्यन्त धनी कुबेर के पुत्र हैं और उनसे मेरा कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं है परन्तु देवर्षि नारद मेरा अत्यन्त प्रिय तथा वत्सल भक्त है और क्योंकि उसने चाहा था कि मैं इनके समक्ष आऊँ अतएव इनकी मुक्ति के लिए मुझे ऐसा करना चाहिए।" इस तरह कहकर कृष्ण तुरन्त ही दो अर्जुन वृक्षों के बीच प्रविष्ट हुए जिससे वह बड़ी ओखली जिससे वे बा

वसुदेव तथा माता देवकी द्वारा स्तुति (10.3)

13-14 वसुदेव ने कहा- हे भगवान, आप इस भौतिक जगत से परे परम पुरुष हैं और आप परमात्मा हैं। आपके स्वरूप का अनुभव उस दिव्य ज्ञान द्वारा हो सकता है, जिससे आप भगवान के रूप में समझे जा सकते हैं। अब आपकी स्थिति मेरी समझ में भलीभाँति आ गई है। हे भगवन, आप वही पुरुष हैं जिसने प्रारम्भ में अपनी बहिरंगा शक्ति से इस भौतिक जगत की सृष्टि की। तीन गुणों (सत्त्व, रजस तथा तमस) वाले इस जगत की सृष्टि के बाद ऐसा लगता है कि आपने उसके भीतर प्रवेश किया है यद्यपि यथार्थ तो यह है कि

देवताओं द्वारा गर्भस्थ कृष्ण की स्तुति (10.2)

26-27 देवताओं ने प्रार्थना की; हे प्रभो, आप अपने व्रत से कभी भी विचलित नहीं होते जो सदा ही पूर्ण रहता है क्योंकि आप जो भी निर्णय लेते हैं वह पूरी तरह सही होता है और किसी के द्वारा रोका नहीं जा सकता। सृष्टि, पालन तथा संहार – जगत की इन तीन अवस्थाओं में विद्यमान रहने से आप परम सत्य हैं। कोई तब तक आपकी कृपा का भाजन नहीं बन सकता जब तक वह पूरी तरह आज्ञाकारी न हो अतः इसे दिखावटी लोग प्राप्त नहीं कर सकते। आप सृष्टि के सारे अवयवों में असली सत्य हैं इसीलिए आप अ

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

It is only possible to deliver a conditioned jiva from Maya,

By divine intervention of God.

To a realm that is higher;

Ecstatically deep and broad.

An ocean of liquid love!

In His mercy, to bring us there,

He sent us Srila Prabhupada.

Sri Krsna Caitanya desired to moisten the dried-up souls.

To acheive it,

He not only comes Himself, But Nitai-Balarama empowered Srila Prabhupada,

To bountiful conceive it.
