Request To & From A Mother

8909932075?profile=RESIZE_584xBy Achyut Gopal Das
 
Today on the occasion of Mother's Day, I went to meet the cow, our mother to wish her for Mother's Day and make a request to her. I requested her to shower her blessings and mercy on her children who are suffering so badly due to the deadly covid virus. The good news for all of us is that, she mercifully agreed to shower her heartfelt blessings, prayers, mercy on all her children. After all, that's the heart of a mother - always wanting and desiring best for her children. I

अध्याय पन्द्रह - धेनुकासुर का वध (10.15)

1 श्रील शुकदेव गोस्वामी ने कहा: वृन्दावन में रहते हुए जब राम तथा कृष्ण ने पौगण्ड अवस्था (6-10 वर्ष) प्राप्त कर ली तो ग्वालों ने उन्हें गौवें चराने के कार्य की अनुमति प्रदान कर दी। इस तरह अपने मित्रों के साथ इन दोनों बालकों ने वृन्दावन को अपने चरणकमलों के चिन्हों से अत्यन्त पावन बना दिया।

2 इस तरह अपनी लीलाओं का आनन्द उठाने की इच्छा से वंशी बजाते हुए और अपने गुणगान कर रहे ग्वालबालों से घिरे हुए तथा बलदेव के साथ जाते हुए माधव ने गौवों को अपने आगे कर लिया और

8904758065?profile=RESIZE_400xIt was unexpected..the way it happened. But I wanted to share it with you all. It was Glorious. It is absolutely possible to go back home, back to Godhead, to Krishna in THIS VERY LIFETIME. And I can say this with absolute conviction…Because We saw our Father do it with our own very eyes.
 
Papa was an embodiment of what devotion 24hrs a day looks like. From never missing a mangal arti to chanting his quota of japa daily, to being constantly immersed in hearing and sharing his love for Bhagav

To our dearest, beloved Jananivasa Prabhu,
We offer our obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

Our hearts overflow with bittersweet love as we witness your painful separation from your beloved brother and lifelong companion, Pankajanghri Prabhu. It is often impossible to express in words such deeply felt loving affection; even harder to add the pain of vipralambha to that love; it can surely be said that n

To All Devotees Around the World,

With heavy hearts we observed the peaceful passing of His Grace Pankajanghri prabhu yesterday. As one of the most critical personalities in the development of the Pujari floor of the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium, his absence is now deeply felt. Over the years (even decades), we have come to rely on his seniority, purity, and quality of devotion to Krishna as an example to us all.
Still, it is in the mood of se

Even though covid is spreading so rapidly with the possibility of death lingering very close to us still, the desire to enjoy this world is still strong. Isn't it surprising? Probably not because Maya after all is very strong and clever. She keeps the hope to enjoy this world even in the face of the greatest dangers alive and burning in our hearts and thus keeps us stuck here birth after birth.

As Adi Shankaracharya prays in his famous Bhaja Govindam song -

8904667686?profile=RESIZE_584xWhen rain comes, as it does now as I write, it sets a mood for meditation. I was thinking about Mayapura in India as those raindrops hit the window panes of my room.

Mayapura has been bursting with energy, with so many pilgrims coming daily, families moving there to take up residence and a new temple arising. We get reports that while international travel has been slow, fueled by the virus restrictions, attendance from all over India has been good, especially during Holi/Gaura Purnima time in Fe

अध्याय चौदह ब्रह्मा द्वारा कृष्ण की 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

PANKAJANGHRI

 

He was a fellow perceptibly mellow

He arrived with his brother to follow

 

At the beck and call of Mahaprabhu

In a land of mist and morning dew

 

From there on, it was all over

Worldliness gone/personal makeover

 

A dedication to good deed and thought

Attention to all His Divine Grace brought

 

He learned, he grew, and did so glow

Teaching others what he did know

 

On the subject of worship and wisdom

In an atmosphere of devotional rhythm

 

Like the Ganges with her endless liquidity

His service was on

Dear devotees and friends of ISKCON Mayapur,

The loss of Pankajanghri Prabhu has saddened the hearts of devotees worldwide. Jananivasa and Pankajanghri Prabhus are the two of the brightest gems in ISKCON. Srila Prabhupada has said, “Vrindavan is my home, Mayapur is my place of worship, and Bombay is my office.” Jananivasa and Pankajanghri Prabhus, being the embodiment of Srila Prabhupada’s worship, are rightly known as the heart of Mayapur. Their unalloyed and uninterrupted service and dedicati

Whenever devotees in ISKCON go through any problems, they at once remember Narasimhadev. Remembering Narasimhadev invariably means remembering Ugra Narasimha of Mayapur. And when you think of Ugra Narasimha of Mayapur, how can you not think of the two glorious twin brothers, Jannanivas Prabhu and Pankajanghari Prabhu who are always standing at the side of Narasimhadev ready to offer prayers of protection to Him on behalf of the devotees?

Even though, the world is now bereft of the association

“So, you’re chanting? I chant sometimes. I learned it from the Park Avenue bowling alley in Montreal. It became a Krishna Centre.”

“Nice to meet you, Hugh!” I said this to the nice guy who became a Baha’i teacher living in South America for seven years on that mission. Hugh never forgot the pranam mantra to our

The devotees wanted to worship a Deity of the Lord in his fiercest form, but at first no sculptor was willing to carve Him.

ON MARCH 24, 1984, at 12:20 A.M., thirty-five men armed with weapons and bombs attacked Sri Mayapur Chandrodaya Mandir, ISKCON’s center in Mayapur, West Bengal. When the dacoits tried to steal the deities of Srila Prabhupada and Srimati Radharani, the devotees fearlessly challenged the attackers. How could the devotees see Srila Prabhupada and Srimati Radharani carried awa

अध्याय तेरह ब्रह्मा द्वारा बालकों तथा बछड़ों की चोरी (10.13)

1 श्रील शुकदेव गोस्वामी ने कहा: हे भक्त शिरोमणि, परम भाग्यशाली परीक्षित, तुमने बहुत सुन्दर प्रश्न किया है क्योंकि भगवान की लीलाओं को निरन्तर सुनने पर भी तुम उनके कार्यों को नित्य नूतन रूप में अनुभव कर रहे हो।

2 जीवन-सार को स्वीकार करने वाले परम हंस भक्त अपने अन्तःकरण से कृष्ण के प्रति अनुरक्त होते हैं और कृष्ण ही उनके जीवन के लक्ष्य रहते हैं। प्रतिक्षण कृष्ण की ही चर्चा करना उनका स्वभाव होता है, मानो ये कथाएँ नित्य नूतन हों। वे इन कथाओ

Srila Prabhupada properly shows us here how to recognise God's help and guidance.

Sadly many do not understand how to properly pray and then positively deal with illness and sickness in the best way.

For example, some believe nothing else can heal your material body except only the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra, without doing anything else to also try to help yourself with (see second story below), which is simply NOT true explained here -

In early February 1973 in Sydney Australia, Srila Pra
