The material world that we live in has been created by the Supreme Lord and his agents. However creation of this world was not the desire of the Supreme Lord. He does not want this material world but actually we do. We, the living entities, wanted this material world because we wanted to be in a place away from Krsna where we could be the ‘Lord’ and the ultimate enjoyer. Krsna described our conditioned state of mind, how we falsely think that we are the enjoyer and the L
Every day during the auspicious Purusottama month, I read the fifteenth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, “Purusottama-yoga”—“The Yoga of the Supreme Person,” in which the seventh verse is one of the most significant.

Haribol Dear Devotees.
I heard my Gurudeva say that Srila Prabhupad said "Krishna Consciousness mean all questions answered and all Problems solved. I have heard His Holiness Srila Jayapataka Swami say it was one of Srila A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad's last desire's, that ISKCON co-operates with all Gaudiya maths. So we are humbly requesting the welcomed association of devotees from other Vaisnava organisations to please bless us in this service y
Dear Editor,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I think your readers might find of interest the enclosed article from today’s The Guardian which explains how Allen Ginsberg taught Robert Kennedy how to chant Hare Krishna mantra. He received this mercy just months before being assassinated 50 years ago. Next week is the 50th anniversary so the media is focusing on RFK at this time.
Incidently, the article also mentions how Walter Reuther, (who is my wife, Lekhas
In this episode with Madri devi dasi we hear…
and have I divided the waters
that i may stand on the shores looking back at me
for what good is thy face without the reflection of the great stream
and as that river runs through the jar of the water bearer
and pours its life giving force upon Libras scales
in that harmony, the sun twinkles upon its pure nectar
judge not less ye be judged
for thine judgment shall consume thee
and when the life comes full circle
and 25000 pass
again i kiss the ground in my name
that thy name not be blotted out f

The living entities falling down to the material world - best explanation of all.
The living entities fall down into this material world from Vaikuntha and NOT the Impersonal Brahman or the Body of Maha Vishnu.
Srila Prabhupada - ''Existence in the impersonal brahman is also within the category of non-Krsna consciousness. Those who are in the brahman effulgence are also in the fallen condition, so there is no question of falling down from a fallen condition. When fall takes place, it means fal

Our life depends on air, and when we recognize it as one of the energies of Krsna, it can remind us of Him.
Sweat gathers on my lower back, and my clothes stick to my skin. Then the leaves of nearby trees shiver to announce the coming relief of a breeze. I consider how the air I’m perceiving outside me also moves within me, and I think of how air carries smells, fills our lungs, nourishes our cells, flies our kites and airplanes, and presses with strong but unperceived forc

Srila Prabhupada in the Radha-Damodara Bus (Album with photos)
Vakresvara Pandit das: Prabhus, I have never ever ever experienced fear, anxiety, suffering like that!
I was told that the ride on the Radha Damodar bus was Prabhupada’s long-cherished dream. And because the vehicle that we had just repaired was in such first-class shape, we were informed that our bus would be used to take Srila Prabhupada and that I would be the driver and Mahamuni would be the servant and Sunanda would be the coo
