It is simply an example of Krishna’s inconceivable potency that such an insignificant coronavirus which is not even visible by the naked eyes had made this world standstill.
To fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, our Honorable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi had announced a nationwide lockdown since March 24. There have been more than 17,340 positive cases of COVID-19 in India so far, with at least 559 deaths due to the disease.
As in many other parts of the world, people have been advised t
Conspiracy theories abound: covid 19, G5, the New World Order, and, of course, the deep state. I remember a time when life was simpler. There was only one conspiracy in town: Maya, the illusionary energy, assigned to keep us conditioned souls enamored in a world that is endlessly mutable (something akin today, I guess, to Facebook).
In this age of greed and hypocrisy, of the cheaters and the cheated, where countless, unfortunate beings struggle in this material world, a world that is confusing a
Most Yogis translate Bhakti Yoga as “Divine Love” and then Srila Prabhupada
translated it as ‘Devotional Service’.
Here is why, real love means there must be action. A mother can only claim
she loves her children when she feeds them and takes care of them .
The phrase “Divine Love” sounds cool, and you can imagine a guru sitting
twiddling a flower in his hand and dishing out blessings with his other
hand.

Another poem: Coronal Globe
How did they do it? I asked for fun
Get all the nations to move as one
Herding the cats of the coronal globe
In the culture of kama, krodha, and lobh
And who are they…… anyway
Conspiracy theorists do certainly say
It’s the Orient or perhaps an elite few
But this is so much fodder to actually chew
We need not delve into the depths of this
It can lead to a dark, ominous abyss
Contemplation on dubious matter
Can break one’s bhakti making it shatter

Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I am Jaya Sila dasa. Along with my wife Vimala devi dasi I have been helping devotees with relationships and parenting.
We published a relationship book for devotees several years about called Relationship Rescue Remedy, A Potent Five Drop Formula for Dissolving Conflict and Nourishing Relationships.
We have been selling it, but during this lock down period we thought it would be helpful to make it available fre
Ghaṭārthin nyāyaḥ (desire for pot)
Beggar was praying to God to get a pot, and promised to use it in His service only. Finally, after nine months he has got the pot. He was so thrilled about his new sense of possession that he was throwing the pot in the air, and shouting, “I've got the pot. I've got the pot.” While the pot was coming down he missed to catch it one more time. The pot fell on the ground and broke into pieces, leaving beggar frustrated.
Every human being prays to God in the womb of
His son in law, Jai Baladev Das, wrote:
“With a heavy heart we’re sad to announce that Karnamrita Das (Brian Soul), disciple of Srila Prabhupada and father to Jahnavee Soul, left his body this morning due to Covid19. “He spent over a month in the hospital, originally for pneumonia and sepsis, fought for a long time, but at some point also contracted the coronavirus while he was there. Despite not being able to be there with him or communicate with him much because of the lockdown, we were able

Since a nationwide lockdown began in India on March 24th, ISKCON and its affiliate foundations (Annamrita and India Tribal Care Trust) have served more than 12 million meals to people in need across the country from forty-six kitchens.
While the nation has been affected by the Coronavirus crisis and is observing a lockdown, millions have been stranded with no food and shelter. Amidst these challenging times, ISKCON, with the support of its donors and well-wishers, has bee
Srila Prabhupada: Infected or disinfected. In the material world we are all infected. This is the disinfecting process: simply remembering Krishna—yah smaret pundarikaksam. This initiation is to teach how to always remember Vishnu and Krishna. As soon as we hear this Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, we immediately remember Krishna, His speech in the Bhagavad-gita, His form, His name, His qualities, His pastimes. Everything come
Yes, I’m still in T.O. or what rapper, Drake, calls “The Six” (six boroughs), however, my mind is all over the place. Yes, today it gravitated to San Diego, Calgary, Ottawa, Miami, Australia, Russia, Spain—just about everywhere that a dream leads to—oh, and even the sun.
I thought of Hanuman who flew to the sun. You might as well say I traveled ethereally to all under the sun and in one sense, to the sun as a passenger with the powerful monkey himself. Today there was no presence of the su

Living in the New Vraja Dhama farm community in Hungary has always felt like a blessing to me. My husband and our two four year old daughters moved here a little over two years ago from Canada. From the first moment my husband and I started associating, we knew that we would like to raise a family on a farm. We understood that Srila Prabhupada’s desire was to establish farm communities, varnasrama and self-sufficiency in ISKCON and we wanted to be a part of that. Our unde
When I first became a devotee as a young brahmacari it was like being part of a revolution, guided by Srila Prahupada’s call in distribution and heart transformation.
In the Mahabharata, we have observed how the Pandavas faced a Kaurava army; for our ratio analysis if we compared the Israelian Army against those of the world. Here the Pandavas faced the greatest of odds against the Kauravas(who had Krsna’s Narayana Kavaca Army), but of course Krsna sided with the Pandavas…then the case was clos

Everyone remembers where they were and what they were thinking when the lockdown started.

In Vrindavan, on September 13, 1975, Srila Prabhupada spoke on Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.2.11:

“By following the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies or undergoing atonement, sinful men do not become as purified as by chanting once the holy name of Lord Hari. Although ritualistic atonement may free one from sinful reactions, it does not awaken devotional service, unlike
There are more people than ever before walking the streets in Rosedale and doing so, safely. My walking partner for several Sundays now is Nimai Nitai. He’ll come down to our ashram/temple door at the agreed upon time. Our rule is to not let anyone in—only the rare serviceman or the person delivering the produce. Nimai must wait.
So there he is, well equipped with his mask. We set off to the ravine that connects one from David Balfour Park to the Brickworks.

About ten years ago I made a PowerPoint presentation on cow protection. In the meantime, I have got many more insights into the matter. Therefore, I have considerably upgraded and enriched my previous work.
I have spent A LOT of time to research the internet and various books dealing with the topic. This presentation targets a wide audience to achieve various purposes
Cholars, artists and folk cried after freedom from time immemorial. Unfortunately, it frequently continues to be cry only for a simple reason – nobody of them knows what constitutes freedom and what slavery. So the meaning of the freedom itself is degraded.
In this essey I will deal with with bondage in its unalloyed and primary form as defined in Bhagavad-gita, the oldest book of freedom. My subject is easily understandable analogy of thraldom, w
