HARE KRISHNA to all matajis and dhandavats,
By the divine grace of our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna, in the capacity of the humblest of humble servants of our dearest Lord, in the coming days, chapter wise, I would like to express my views on one of our most divine holy books, “SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA,” with specific emphasis on management.
The most important aspect of our Divine Srimad Bhagavad Git
HARE KRISHNA,
We all are a product of our thoughts and action. As our most dearest Lord Sri Krishna has conveyed in our Divine Bhagavad Gita a mere thought even when not coupled with action is subject to his scrutiny and his evaluation, so much so for the actual action which one can definitely imagine how much it can be instrumental in our assessment. Every of our thoughts and action is marked and graded by our dearest Lord Sri Krishna based on which our soul gets the physical form in the next

Yesterday I was in the garden. We had to uproot the weeds that had gathered around the small marigold plants. There were so many weeds that at times it was hard to find the marigolds.
Today I was at home, cleaning the clutter which gathers so easily in so many corners and from so many places. There was so much stuff that I couldn’t think straight. When I have a headache, my husband tells me to clean. He knows me well! Cleaning always makes me feel better.
I think Stuff Management should be ri
Hare Krishna devotees remove their shoes as they step into the meditation room each morning.
Outside, birds chirp and a waterfall cascades into a koi pond. It is quiet — for now.
The compound is like another world.
The wail of a conch shell signifies the start of a ceremony and the room fills with music as devotees bow and chant, acknowledging both Krishna, a name for God in Hinduism, and A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousn

The search of love usually starts with a feeling of loneliness, it is not just a problem of physical company, rather of awareness and inner power. Loneliness originates from a fragmented psychological image which as a consequence produces a kind of separation of a person from other people, from all the creatures, from the world and its Creator.
The solution of the problem of loneliness is not to be found in a partner, so as to compensate the fear of being alone, nor it can be found through t
Jananivas, Ambarisa, Svaha and Braja Vilas prabhus, along with the entire TOVP Team would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude to His Holiness Bhaktimarg Swami, the Canadian TOVP Team, and all the Canadian Yatra devotees who have to date sent over $1 million to the TOVP.
Back in June, 2014 we published an article about the formation of the Canadian TOVP Team. Since then, and specifically during our TOVP Canadian Tour in 2015, $3 million has been pledged of which over $1 million has g
The idea that we should not try to see God but act in such a way that he feels pleased to look our way is one of the main philosophical contributions of Srila Prabhupada’s guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur. He always made it clear that we are not the seers (that we cannot see God) but that we are the seen (that we can be seen by God).
Imagine an ant crawling over your book while you read. It cannot see you from its position – you’re something the ant cannot understand because it is t
On October 4th, in Rome, Italy, an extraordinary event took place at the House of Representatives of the Italian Parliament.

A line of devotees in colorful sarees and shaved heads stood outside of the House of Representatives in a spirit of controlled euphoria. Rome, Italy’s

We often ask for a donation especially on book distribution, if you give me a donation you can have a book whilst showing them a wonderful book that will transform their life. Then we withdraw the book if the donation is small, or we go no it has to be £x; unwittingly we can cause offence, they asked for a donation I gave and they took away (I’ve ha
To realize one's utter insignificance is a critical milestone in life. It opens up significant opportunities for us to connect to something truly grand and important. This realization can come at any stage of our life, and come multiple times, each time helping us realize the majesty of something else that is truely magnificent.
The typical society encourages one to believe and imagine that we are very special and significant. That's what the self centred small mind wants to believe. Break free

Meditating on the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Muralimanohara, placing myself at the dust of Lord Caitanya’s feet, and respectfully offering obeisances to the great devotees of the Lord, who are so many oceans of transcendental virtue, I shall now happily begin to praise the transcendental opulences of Sri Vrndavana.
I am not strong enough to go to the far shore of the great nectar ocean of Vrindavan’s glories. Who can go there? However, because I love Vrindavan I will now dip into that ocean. I

As jack-o-lanterns, comedy gravestones, and fake ghosts and zombies crop up on our neighbor’s lawns, and every kid in town shakes with excitement about their candy haul, ISKCON devotees may be wondering whether or not to take their own children out trick-or-treating.
Some devotees have expressed concerns that in celebrating non-Gaudiya Vaishnava holidays like Halloween or Thanksgiving, we will wind up becoming culturally indistinct, and gradually assimilating all the practices of ordinary mater
