Wife should be faithful

As I gave Srila Prabhupada his massage this evening he told me about proper marital relations, especially the need for the wife to be faithful. He has been working steadily on his translation and commentaries of the Ninth Canto, and he told me a story from the third chapter illustrating the ideal attitude a woman should have toward her husband.

He said that Sukanya was a beautiful young princess, who by circumstance had to marry an extremely old Cyavana Muni. I was massagin

We are not capable of chanting sixty four rounds

Complaints about Nitai dasa have been increasing daily. Apparently, he has been telling the devotees that it is not possible to go back to Godhead in this life unless one chants 100,000 names of Krsna (about sixty-four rounds) every day. He has been claiming that if one only chants sixteen rounds, it will take many births. Many devotees are affected by this nonsense, which Nitai got from some "advanced devotee" in Govardhana.

Prabhupada said he has

Every animal in spiritual world

Harikesa recalled that last year the monkeys in Seva-kunja had attacked Upendra, snatching his prasadam and biting him in the leg.

Prabhupada was a bit surprised "Achha?" Then he said that previously the government was capturing the monkeys in Vrndavana and selling them at a good price for medical purposes in Europe, until people protested. "The monkey's hormone is injected or replaced so one regains his sex power," he said. "They are very sexually strong."

How to Feed the Good Dog? – Radhanath Swami

We have often given the example of the good dog and the bad dog. Krishna tells in Bhagavad Gita that there is a divine nature and there is a demonic nature in all of us. The good dog is humility, charity, knowledge of the self, compassion, morality,generosity, etc. And the bad dog is greed, lust, envy, anger,arrogance, selfishness, etc. We have both dogs within us and they areboth howling for food. What is the food? The decision we make of whichvoice within the mind we are going to accommodate.

Radhanath Swami on Real Love

We often mistake temporary pleasures of this world to be love. This mistaking of temporary sensations of the world lies at the very core of human conditioning. These flickering sensations are like a mirage. A person who is in the desert is searching desperately for an oasis ofwater. And in that desperation, due tolonging and hopefulness, sometimes a mirage appears. It appears thatthat mirage can quench his/her thirst, but all he/she gets is amouthful of hot sand.

So what is real love? In order to

Our Eternal & Supreme Father

"Although God has no parents as He is eternal and is the father of everyone, yet He can agree to become someone's child - have a little baby form and a devotee to serve Him as a parent. As a parent, the parents think that they are bigger than the child.

 

The parents always want to protect the child. Even though Krishna is the Supreme protector of everyone. His parents always think, "I have to protect Krishna. If I don't protect Krishna, some danger will befall Krishna."

 

So the parents a

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara)

Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Uddhava-kyari(Visakha-kunja)

Sometimes, Krsna used to perform the rasa dance here with Radhaji and Her friends.

After Sri Krsna's departure to Mathura, all of Vraja drowned in an ocean of seperation from Him. What to speak of the gopas and gopis, even the birds and animals gave up eating and drinking, feeling distressed in seperation from Krsna. Krsna's beloved gopis followed Akrura's chariot to this point and then fell to the ground unconscious. They

1. As He walked down the King’s road, Lord Madhava then saw a young hunchback woman with an attractive face, who carried a tray of fragrant ointments as she walked along. The bestower of the ecstasy of love smiled and inquired from her as follows.

The King of Sweet - by Dravida dasa

2514809440?profile=original

His lips are sweet, His smile is sweet,
His eyes are sweet, His face is sweet,
His heart is sweet, His gait is sweet—
The King of Sweet is sweet complete.

 

His voice is sweet, His words are sweet,
His clothes and belly-folds are sweet,
His forest wanderings are sweet—
The King of Sweet is sweet complete.

 

His foot-dust and His flute are sweet,
His feet and hands and navel sweet,
His dancing and His friendship sweet—
The King of Sweet is sweet complete.

 

His songs and yellow cloth are sweet,

Srila Prabhupada about his household life

In 1925 or '26 when my son was two years old. There was a table
fan, "I would like to touch it." And I said, "No, no, don't touch."
This is child. So but it's a child. He again tried to touch it.

Hari-sauri: They get a bit confused because God has to... Like that man last night was saying not even a blade of grass can move without God's sanction. So they think because God sanctions...

Prabhupada: Yes, that is so many times explained. Just like a child wants to do something. The father says, "Don'
