इस संसार का उद्देश्य भौतिक विषय सुख के हर प्रयास में हमें ज्यादा से ज्यादा हताश और निराश करना है। यह बात विचित्र प्रतीत हो सकती है लेकिन सत्य है। श्रील प्रभुपाद ने अमेरिका में एक बार हिप्पियों को संबोधित करते हुए कहा कि सम्पूर्ण अमेरिकी समाज आपकी निंदा यह कह कर करता है कि आप सब हताश एवं निराश लोग हैं। लेकिन, मैं आपकी प्रशंशा करता हूँ क्योंकि, निराशा को प्राप्त होना ही इस भौतिक सृष्टि का उद्देश्य है और संसार के प्रति निराशा भगवान के प्रति आकर्षण उत्पन्न कर सकती है। श्री भगवान का सनातन अंश होने के

हम सभी जीव यथा ब्रह्मदेव से लेकर जीवाणु कीटाणु तक सब श्री भगवान के शाश्वत अंश हैं। गुणात्मक दृष्टि से जीव और भगवान में 80 % तक समानता हो सकती है परंतु मात्रात्मक दृष्टि से दोनों में विभिन्नता है। भगवान विभु अर्थात अत्यंत विशाल हैं और जीव अणु अर्थात क्षुद्र है। इस कारण जीव भगवान के समान है भी और नहीं भी है जैसे सूर्य और सूर्य की किरणें, जैसे समुद्र का एक बूंद जल और विशाल समुद्र, जैसे अग्नि एवं अग्निकण, जैसे स्वर्ण और स्वर्णकण। वह सिद्धांत जिसके अंतर्गत जीव और भगवान में समानता और असमानता का एक साथ

Introduction

In recent decades we witness increasing public awareness about the profoundly damaging effects of accellerating human production, consumption, and mobility on ecosystems of the world; and this awareness is accompanied by a deepening sense of urgency that “something” must be done to stop the current trends of environmental destruction. Environmental activism is now a mainstream activity for all sorts of individuals and groups, not least perso

Eagerness to worship

Srila Prabhupada said that the highest placed vaisnava in West Bengal was Tarun Kanti Ghosh. He was elected as a member of parliament and was very popular. Tarun Kanti Ghosh owned several newspapers and was a very influential personality. He became elected in parliament by doing harinama sankirtan in all the villages, all over Bengal.

So in my days in Mayapur, I became acquainted with Tarun Kanti Ghosh. He had a house and in the garden, there was a nice temple with large Gaura-Nitai deities. He

Lord Balaram causeless mercy

2515197367?profile=original

Generally people who are not so lucky are called hapless or snakebitten (snakebit). In India it is considered very inauspicious for a snake to appear in one's dreams.  But what if there is a Snake that comes to our aide? A Snake that is not only the origin of all snakes but of all creations too and holds the whole creation on His innumerable hoods in the form of Ananta Sesha.  Then the hapless become lucky, worries disappears, sorrows turn into Joy, the weak becomes strong. All that we have to

Jhulan Yatra takes place every year in the monsoon season over a period of five days, leading up to Balarama Purnima. This is the time when Srimati Radhika and Her Madhava enjoy swing pastimes in the spiritual world.

Every year the youth of Mayapur come together and work to make the festival what it has been for the past thirty-two years – an intimate exchange of love. Serving together tirelessly for more than thirty days is as enlivening as it is exhausting, and every year the sweetness grows.

Karmic reactions

Ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? Why we suffer? Why some days are awesome and others morose? If God exists, why does He keep quiet about it? ...The answer to all the above questions is karma.

Karma is one of those topics that many people know about, but few understand the intricacies of it. In literal terms, “karma” means “activity” and the law of karma regulates the reactions to our activities. If we act in good, or pious ways, we reap good reactions. If we act in impious, sin

WHAT IS THE FIRST SIGN OF A DEVOTEE

WHAT IS THE FIRST SIGN OF A DEVOTEE.

Devotee means the first sign will be happy, brahma-bhutah prasannatma [Bg. 18.54]. If he's not prasannatma, he's a rascal. He has not entered even devotional life. He's outside. That is the test. Just like Dhruva Maharaja. When he saw Visnu, he said, "Everything is all right. I don't want anything." Svamin krtartho 'smi. That is Vaisnava. And if he is still in want or unhappiness, that means he has no spiritual life at all. He is simply making a show.
