सब काल ईश की प्यारी, जय एकादशी तुम्हारी

सकल तिथिन की तुम हो रानी, वेद पुराण सबै बखानी

ब्रह्म रूप हो तुम निर्वाणी, दायक हो फल चारी

जय एकादशी तुम्हारी

उत्पन्ना, मोक्षदा स्वरूपा, सफला और पुत्रदा रूपा

नाम षडतिला परम अनूपा, जया नाम अघहारी

जय एकादशी तुम्हारी

विजया आमल की कहलाये, पाप मोचनी पाप नसावै

तू प्रमा पद्मा हो जावे, आवागमन विदारी

जय एकादशी तुम्हारी

बरूथनी है तेरो नामा, तथा मोहिनी अपरा श्यामा

सकल कामना कारी

जय एकादशी तुम्हारी

तू ही योगिनी, तू हरि शयनी, तथा पवित्रा पातक वहनी,

व्रत कर नारी सकल फल पावे, अजा नाम अ

We have simply heard about the opulence of Rāma-rājya during the reign of Lord Rāmacandra. Now, here is one example of the opulence of the Lord's kingdom. The streets of Ayodhyā were not only cleaned but also sprinkled with perfumed water and drops of perfumed liquor, which were distributed by elephants through their trunks. There was no need of sprinkling machines, for the elephant has a natural ability to suck water through its trunk and again throw it out in a shower. We can understand the op

How to Hear God's Instructions?

Question: How to Hear God's Instructions?


While going through the introduction of the Bhagavad-gita, I read that we should follow what the Supreme God tells us to do because in this way our activities will be on path of goodness. Can you please tell how to listen to what God is saying? I am very confused at present and things are becoming more and more complicated in personal life. I need Krishna's guidance. Please help.

Program at University of Auckland

Srila Prabhupada had taken his massage earlier than usual. Straight after the press conference he left for a lunchtime speaking engagement on the grounds of the University of Auckland. The skies were clear and blue and the sun shone brightly. Srila Prabhupada walked through a fully blooming rose garden towards the open-air quadrangle outside the student union building.

The following is the concluding part of the notes from His Holiness Mahavishnu Gosvami Maharaj’s class on Srimad Bhagavatam verse 4.6.47, given in London, July 11, 2008. Maharaj gives the cure for the five unwanted qualities mentioned.

In the previous offering we heard from Maharaj as to how

a) By doing our duties immaculately, we will be able to get detached from the fruitive results. Detachment does not mean, stopping the work, but doing it more carefully.
b) We should dress in simple Vedic mann

Gita and Business Ethics

The word ‘ethics’ comes from the Greek word ‘ethikos’. It refers to one’s moral character and the way in which society expects people to behave in accordance with accepted principles. Business ethics is the code of good conduct that a business adheres to in its daily dealings both with other businesses and with customers. Most philosophers conclude that ethical failure occurs because of lack of character. Virtuous people will live ethically. Therefore, we need to think about the desired virtues

Those who are seers of the truth have concluded that of the nonexistent [the material body] there is no endurance and of the eternal [the soul] there is no change. This they have concluded by studying the nature of both.

There is no endurance of the changing body. That the body is changing every moment by the actions and reactions of the different cells is admitte

Thought Of The Day

The sum and substance of the whole matter is that a man must love God, must be restless for Him. It doesn't matter whether you believe in God with form or God without form. You may or may not believe that God incarnates Himself as man. But you will realize Him if you have that yearning. Then He himself will let you know what He is like. If you must be mad, why should you be mad for the things of the world? If you must be mad, be mad for God alone.

2514839306?profile=original Imagine life in the hustle and bustle of this world without the devotees. Thanks to Srila Prabhupada we have a wonderful society to help us stay fixed in our spiritual lives. Without the mercy of the devotees and the guidance and support of our friends, pursuing spiritual life would certainly be much more of a struggle. This is exactly what we were missing in our Krishna consciousness lives when we attended a retreat for the first time in 2007: loving relationships with other young devotees. Af

Perfection of Life



When one goes to prison he has to put aside his usual dress and take the prison dress. Similarly, anyone who comes into this material world has to take a material body. This is the law. Unless you have this material body, how can you feel pleasure in material sense enjoyment? It is just like performing on stage: if you are going to play a certain part, you have to dress accordingly. Therefore, this material body is compared to a dress. For example, every lady and gentleman; every one of us; has

Obama or Rama?

Obama or Rama?


People are very fond of the pattern of Rāma-rājya, and even today politicians sometimes form a party called Rāma-rājya, but unfortunately they have no obedience to Lord Rāma. It is sometimes said that people want the kingdom of God without God. Such an aspiration, however, is never to be fulfilled. Good government can exist when the relationship between the citizens and the government is like that exemplified by Lord Rāmacandra and His citizens. Lord Rāmacandra ruled His kingdom ex
