हरे कृष्ण महामन्त्र ही एकमात्र आश्रय
प्रस्तुति ललितमाधव दास द्वारा
श्राद्धदेव या वैवस्वत मनु महाराज इक्ष्वाकु के पिता थे। पहले वे सन्तानहीन थे, किन्तु वशिष्ठ मुनि की कृपा से उन्होंने मित्र तथा वरुण को प्रसन्न करने के लिए एक यज्ञ किया। यद्यपि वैवस्त मनु पुत्ररत्न चाहते थे, किन्तु उनकी पत्नी की इच्छानुसार उन्हें इला नामक पुत्री प्राप्त हुई। अतएव वैवस्त मनु पुत्री- प्राप्ति से संतुष्ट नहीं थे। वैवस्वत मनु महाराज ने अपने गुरु वशिष्ठ मुनि से इस प्रकार कहा:-
भगवन् किमिदं जातं कर्म वो ब्रह्मवादिनाम्।

Compiled by Srila Prabhupada disciple Pranada Dasi, the work is a written documentary of the voices of the first-generation pioneer women of ISKCON. Within its 540 pages, thirty-three authors speak about their relationships with Srila Prabhupada,
I was ambling along, beyond The Annex, through the common neighbourhood, when I received a call from my assistant, Krishna Chandra.
“You have a zoom class, Maharaj!” He said on behalf of someone hosting.
“Oh, that is my total stupidity.” I’m routinely walking at this hour but tonight was special. I was to give a Gita class based on chapter nine, verse three, about faith. “I forgot. Is it too late?”
Thus I answered my own question. I can still try it. I’m 38 minutes late. “Send me the zoom link.
Let’s face it – trying to become a devotee in this faithless, fast, and quarrelsome age is very, very tough. If the mind is not making life difficult for us, it will be the neighbors, some authority figure, our bodies or our family. Actually, the list is endless. How to keep faith and focus in a world so obviously made for distraction?!
The real challenges come in our daily dealings in life. The philosophy sounds fine in the class atmosphere, but often we lose sight of it when dealing with the

In a new book A Bond of Love published by Bookwrights Press Srila Prabhupada’s daughters remember their time with their spiritual master.
“Riding in the back of a taxi with a close god sister in Mumbai one fall evening around 2008, discussing the seemingly eternal topic of friction between genders, I paused for a moment to reflect on a particularly sweet remembrance where Srila Prabhupada put this topic nicely into perspective, as reiterated by my god sister. ‘The men need to hear this!’ I exc

Radhastami, the divine appearance of Srimati Radharani, the hladini sakti, pleasure potency and eternal consort of Sri Krishna, is almost more sacred to Gaudiya Vaisnavas than Janmastami. Without the mercy and blessings of Radha Rani we cannot even begin to approach the entran
The water was great at Cherry Beach; a rather hot spot in the summertime. It’s a big draw during these sultry, sunny days. This was my first time swimming there. Parking is free. No drinking is allowed on the beach. Positive elements for a monk. Scantily-clad ladies? Not too much of that.
It was Billy who drove me there, in his fire-engine red car—I’m not sure of the make. I never took much interest in car models. Trees always got me more excited.
Billy also enjoyed the water. It was catch-up ti
