1 श्रीभगवान ने कहा— कहा जाता है कि एक शाश्वत अश्वत्थ वृक्ष है, जिसकी जड़ें तो ऊपर की ओर हैं और शाखाएँ नीचे की ओर तथा पत्तियाँ वैदिक स्रोत हैं। जो इस वृक्ष को जानता है, वह वेदों का ज्ञाता है।

2 इस वृक्ष की शाखाएँ ऊपर तथा नीचे फैली हुई हैं और प्रकृति के तीन गुणों द्वारा पोषित हैं। इसकी टहनियाँ इन्द्रियविषय हैं। इस वृक्ष की जड़ें नीचे की ओर भी जाती है, जो मानवसमाज के सकाम कर्म

When we start our devotional practices it is possible to keep them up for a while out of a sense of duty. For a while it is possible to practice devotional service mechanically out of a sense of “I have to do this.” But in the end we are not machines! We cannot practice for a long time, if we only do it mechanically, and not experience the taste of it. We can only continue steadily if we get a genuine taste for it – the sweet and relishable taste of bhakti.

You must know that there are two form

Let us try to learn the fundamentals of chanting of the Holy Name from Srila Prabhupada as our founder acharya explains its importance, the dos and don’ts and also the remedy if we commit offenses while chanting.

How should we do chant the Holy Name?

It is recommended that such chanting be performed very loudly. In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Nārada Muni says that without shame he began traveling all over the world, chanting the holy name of the Lord. Similarly, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has advised:

When I was young we spent time at our aunt’s farm in the south of Ireland. She had 5 milking cows, all had names, and when she sat and milked them in the morning and evening, great conversations would be had. With the cows that is.

It was there I learned to milk a cow, to hear the sound of the swish-swish into the bucket. To see the bucket fill up with white goodness, and to marvel at the natural wonder of cows and milk. It was there I saw the connection between human and animal as I watched my

From Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and Gaudiya history, it seems that there has always been a tension between two kinds of followers of Lord Caitanya’s mission—the preachers and the reclusive practitioners. These are known as the gosthy-anandi (GA) and bhajan-anandi (BA), respectively. The debate between the two centres around how they realise the confidential essence of Lord Caitanya’s teachings, Vraja-bhakti, and the failings that each sees in the other’s practice. GA see that BA neglect Lor

A last little touch of the boreal forest marked the end of my stay in Thunder Bay. The Beaver Meadows Trail takes one through a sweet boreal forest, a forest that occupies so much of Canada, holding a treasure of a huge collection of freshwater. Check out maps of this extraordinary spread of trees, ancient rocks and lakes. People speak of rainforests, such as the Amazon but, as I understand, the boreal bush impacts the globe in a similar, environmental way.

1 श्रीभगवान ने कहा— अब मैं तुमसे समस्त ज्ञानों में सर्वश्रेष्ठ इस परम ज्ञान को पुनः कहूँगा, जिसे जान लेने पर समस्त मुनियों ने परम सिद्धि प्राप्त की है।

2 इस ज्ञान में स्थिर होकर मनुष्य मेरी जैसी दिव्य प्रकृति (स्वभाव) को प्राप्त कर सकता है। इस प्रकार स्थित हो जाने पर वह न तो सृष्टि के समय उत्पन्न होता है और न प्रलय के समय विचलित होता है।

It has been relaxing here for me, and also for Ananda, who came from Regina. Both of us are getting some walking in—a piece of trail here or there. A treat was to get to Kakabeka Falls, which translates as “steep cliffs.” That they are. It’s always inspiring to be at this location, where I marvel at the cascading Kaministiquia River.

A twenty-five minute walking trail is connected to the falls, as an added feature. A sweet smelling boreal forest cuts the high winds of the day and makes you appre

It’s easy to take mothers for granted. Some researchers recently followed around one such mother for a week in an attempt to estimate the monetary value of her ‘motherly love’. She took the kids to school, so they calculated how much a taxi driver would cost. She cooked the breakfast, lunch and dinner so they approximated the wage bill of a chef. The mother also played the role of a cleaner, psychologist, accountant and nurse to name but a few. They calculated the overtime the mother put in, and

As I’m sitting here in Vrindavan, as the minutes, hours and days go by, I am more and more interested in the close God, not so much the distant God. I’m less interested in the God, Who is only thought about, but not experienced, Who is philosophized about, but not seen. As I chant, I think deeply about how to establish real contact with the Lord.

What he says is, “My Lord, I am directly calling out to You now, I am directly approaching You now, by Your various names. And

1-2 अर्जुन ने कहा— हे कृष्ण! मैं प्रकृति एवं पुरुष (भोक्ता), क्षेत्र एवं क्षेत्रज्ञ तथा ज्ञान एवं ज्ञेय के विषय में जानने का इच्छुक हूँ। श्रीभगवान ने कहा— हे कुन्तीपुत्र! यह शरीर क्षेत्र कहलाता है और इस क्षेत्र को जानने वाला क्षेत्रज्ञ है।

Nature was conjuring up a storm of water. Ominous clouds were ever present in the sky and lightning made its periodic flash, accompanied by the rumble of thunder. Hey, that’s the name of this place!

It was at this time, early afternoon, that I began my mere two kilometre walk (my physiotherapist suggested I reduce daily treks and work on stretches to counteract stiffness). In any event, I decided to go at strides at a critical hour of nature. I don’t mind the reminder to be humble. The elements

The pure devotee’s first month in the West. “Who would expect to meet a svami in someone’s living room in Butler, Pennsylvania? It was just really tremendous. In the middle of middle-class America. “

Srila Prabhupada was met at the dockside by a man from Travelers Aid who escorted him to the Port Authority Bus Terminal. New York’s midtown streets were far more intense than the Boston pier. Assisted by the guide, Srila Prabhupada got on the “Pittsburgh” bus. Travelers

I was distributing books in Melbourne and approached a young man wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt. I was showing him the Science of Self Realization and explaining the contents. He was interested and wanted to take the book, but said he had no money. I mentioned that we use card readers for credit cards.

He said, “I can only take money out from the bank.”

So I thought, “Oh well, I guess he won’t be taking a book, because not many people go all the way to the bank to withdraw money.”

1 अर्जुन ने पूछा— जो आपकी सेवा में सदैव तत्पर रहते हैं, या जो अव्यक्त निर्विशेष ब्रह्म की पूजा करते हैं, इन दोनों में से किसे अधिक पूर्ण (सिद्ध) माना जाय?

2 श्रीभगवान ने कहा— जो लोग अपने मन को मेरे साकार रूप में एकाग्र करते हैं, और अत्यन्त श्रद्धापूर्वक मेरी पूजा करने में सदैव लगे रहते हैं, वे मेरे द्वारा परम सिद्ध माने जाते हैं।

Context and Crux of Uddhava-gita

Bhagavad-gita is the great philosophical song by Lord Krsna on the battlefield of Kuruksetra to motivate His bewildered friend Arjuna. There is yet another Gita that Krsna sang in Dvaraka to pacify another of His friends named Uddhava. Famous as Uddhava-gita it forms the longest philosophical section of the magnum opus literature Srimad Bhagavatam.

Lord Krsna’s descent into this world was requested by the devatas headed by Brahma, to reduce the burden of the ear
