[February 12th was my 45th anniversary of moving into the temple as a single monastic (brahmacari) and officially taking up the process of bhakti, or pure devotional service. To honor my spiritual journey on the way to Krishna, I thought I would repost this 5 part series about my life before taking up Krishna consciousness and how it led to my existential crisis and spiritual search. Since these are blogs, I have greatly condensed the material.] Pattrica Ann Bailey stared mindl
From my room, #506 in the Gada Building, the Samadhi Auditorium is a walking distance of 0.6 km. I go back and forth completing that measurement at least twice in a day. In the morning, I trek along a 2.5 km stretch with a group of companions as we chant the maha mantra. In addition to that I walk to the room where I meet with my peers at least twice. Then I walk to eat.
Because we have been in the material world for many lifetimes, we have accumulated many desires that are stored within our subconsciousness and all these desires are still influencing us now. Again, we are trying to enjoy them one more time; again and again, although we were not satisfied in previous lives, not fulfilled but still, we try again! So this is where we are at. That is why spiritual life involves an element of struggle due to the influence of previous association with the material w

Over the years, I have read and heard different devotees speak about different techniques to chant properly. Devotees also talk about crying out to Radha and Krishna during chanting for mercy for improving our chanting. This may be bonafide or not, I do not know. However, so far I have not read or heard anything like this from Srila Prabhupada. The only thing I have heard Prabhupada say is to hear the words of the Mahamantra distinctly with focus. Beyond that I have not heard him say o

ISKCON Mayapur welcomed West Bengal’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who came for an official visit. After arriving by helicopter, she was given a warm welcome at the temple by Ambarish Prabhu and several GBC members. Then she took darshan of Sri Panca-tattva, Sri Sri Radha-Madhava, And Lord Narasimhadeva. Jananivas prabhu guided her in performing arati to Lord Narasimhadeva.
Mamata Banerjee then inquired about the temple worship, and offered different auspicious gifts for the

Generally worshipers of Siva are Mayavadis or impersonalists who desire to become one with the Supreme. Brghu Muni pointed out that Siva followers become atheists and thus condemn themselves:
bhava-vrata-dhara ye ca
ye ca tan samanuvratah
pasandinas te bhavantu
sac-chastra-paripanthinah
One who takes a vow to satisfy Lord Siva or who follows such principles will certainly become an atheist and be diverted from transcendental scriptural injunctions.

There were two saints by the name St Valentine, and both were celibate monks. One of them was a catholic priest who lived in Rome in the second half of the third century. He preached the message of love of God with such enthusiasm despite much opposition. He was captured, he was tortured and he was killed. He thus became one of the great martyrs of the Catholic Church. And the second St Vale

As we know and as mentioned by Srila Prabhupada, Lord Shiva is considered as the greatest and foremost devotee of Lord Krishna. If that is the case, why there is no picture or murti of Lord Siva in ISKCON temples? With my limited knowledge about Krishna Consciousness, I have understood that we have to offer our utmost respect to the devotees of Lord Krishna, especially the great and advanced devotees, but hardly we can find the picture or murti (deity form) of Lord
Today, 14 February 2018, is Shiva Ratri, the appearance day of Lord Shiva. Srila Prabhupada describes the relationship between Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva as follows:
"Lord Krishna is also known as avatari, which means, 'one from whom all the incarnations emanate.' In Bhagavad-gita (10.8) Lord Krishna says, ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate: 'I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me.' Thus Lord Krishna is the origin of everyone's appearance

Krishna gives us His final instruction in Bhagavad Gita in verse 18.65
man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru
mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo ’si me
Translation:
Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend.
On each Valentine day we are all pushed to ‘show’ our love to a dear one. Many, or most of us, already know
Never are uncommon, these endless lessons of love
Of how to catch a man, how to keep a woman’s love
Or how to use God and His universe To fulfil
one’s desires diverse.
But wise people say just rise above
Life is nothing but a school of love
You get everything that you deserve
Just unlearn to use, and learn to love..
As water cannot fill
The tank of your car when empty
Wealth, prestige and power in plenty
Do not serve our actual purpose and identity.
We are not just hungry, but s
Real love for Radha-Krishna is called prema, the highest perfectional stage of life." In the prema stage there is constant engagement in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. So, by the slow process of devotional service, under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, one can attain the highest stage, being freed from all material attachment, from the fearfulness of one's individual spiritual personality, and from the frustrations that result in void philosophy. Then one can ult
