“Just surrender unto me!” What more you expect from Krishna? This is his most concluding instruction, most confidential instruction; that’s the best benediction he offers to you. What more you expect? This is the best benediction he has offered you.

Abandon all varieties of dharma, just surrender unto me. Unconditional, complete surrender — not partial, not artificial, not conditional — complete surrender. If you do so, then Krishna takes sole charge of you, you have nothing to bother, no anxiety.

Give up all your independence, svatantra. The jīva has tiny, minute independence, “Oh! I can do this thing, I can do this thing, I can do this thing.” What can you do, bābā? Unless Krishna sanctions, what can you do?

HDG Shrila Prabhupada

showing his assistant Upendra his 3 Tier Brass Cooker,

June 1975, Denver, Colorado.

An excerpt from the book on Srila Prabhupada's cooker (with a recipe): Yamuna Devi ..

"There are only a few photos of Srila Prabhupada cooking, and for twenty years I've kept one of them in my kitchen.

He is standing in front of a white gas range, holding a slotted spoon in his right hand, its tip hovering just above a metal mixing bowl.

Srila Prabhupada is focused on the contents of the bowl, his head and eyes slightly downcast. He is freshly bathed and wearing only a silk dhoti. The silky smooth skin of his upper body and shaved head seem almost effulgent.

Of the two pots cooking on the stove to his right, the one clearly visible is well known to all his servants and cooks simply as "Srila Prabhupada's cooker." One of the few personal possessions he carried in his extensive travels, it went around the world more than ten times and ended up on stoves on almost every cont

A Plea from a former ISKCON GBC member Naveen Krishna Das.

Dear Prabhus.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I suggest that all followers of Srila Prabhupada should examine the evidence regarding the alleged malicious poisoning of Srila Prabhupada with a skeptical but attentive mind, especially the words of His Divine Grace on this issue on November 8 1977 and later. There are at least 13 times this matter is discussed as a case of criminal poisoning by Srila Prabhupada and his attendants. A little Hindi and Bengali translation is needed but has been done during the investigations in the past.

The forensic work by renowned experts and professionals is additional material to study carefully. The whispers, arsenic and cadmium all need to be carefully studied and verified by all followers of His Divine Grace.

There is plenty of philosophy to support something like this happening, with the aim of glorifying

So there may be attempt like that. And Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also

Srila Prabhupāda: This is our position. Gradually they will show Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. In India also, although India's... They will want to crush down this movement. So this will be up to Him. Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa's movement, the same thing. And Kṛṣṇa was attempted to be killed by Kaṁsa class of men and his company, the demons. So it will be there; it is already there. Don't be disappointed, because that is the meaning that it is successful. Kṛṣṇa's favor is there, because Kṛṣṇa and Kṛṣṇa's movement is not different, identical. So as Kṛṣṇa was attempted to be killed, many, many years before He appeared... At eighth child, if the mother produces child yearly, still ten years, eight years before His birth, the mother was to be attempted to be killed. So there may be attempt like that. And Lord Jesus Christ was killed. So they may kill me also.

Siddha-svarūpa: I don't think that is possible.

Prabhupāda: No, I mean to say, I am not so important man. But it is the, this is the way of the law. If

Himāvatī: Swami, many people also think that “If you’re sinful, how can church help you? What is the use of going to church?”

Srila Prabhupāda: Yes. If you… That will be discussed. This is the point. This is being discussed. It is not the… It is not the question of atheism. Their point is “What is the use of going to the church?” But the use is that if he goes to the church, if he actually hears about, I mean to say, glorious life, to become devotee, to understand God, then the utilization of going to the church is all right. But if he goes with that spirit that “I shall go to the church and my sinful activities will be counteracted by giving some bribe and going to the church. Then it is very good…” But his motive is different. Churchgoing is not for that purpose. That is a facility.

Just like we are preaching, “You chant Hare Kṛṣṇa

Raganuga Bhakti: A Forty Year Crossroads 19/5/25

Mahanidhi Madan Gopal Das

#RaganugaBhakti #GopiBhava #Radha #RadhaKrishna

One devotee said, “I feel that my life has inexplicably changed after hearing about the raganuga bhakti sadhana of traditional Gaudiya Vaishnavism. What I have learned is taking me to the next level of my bhakti sadhana.

“My question is how to harmonize my present feelings and deep interest in raganuga bhakti with the teachings I’ve learned during my forty years in Iskcon?”

To answer this question let’s try to understand what Gaudiya Vaishnavism is according Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s teachings. The two internal reasons for the advent of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu were to taste the sweet essence of Vraja madhurya prema-rasa, and to preach raganuga-bhakti to the world, prema-rasa-niryasa karite asvadana, raga-marga bhakti loke karite

persons who have no intelligence deride the transcendental form of the Lord as material.

Posted by Tamohara dasa ADMIN. on May 19, 2025 at 14:37

In the Caitanya-sampradaya, there is sometimes a demoniac misconception about the descent of Nityananda Prabhu. Nityananda Prabhu’s body is spiritual, but demoniac persons consider the body of the Supreme Personality to be material, just like ours. Avajananti mam mudhah: (Bg. 9.11) persons who have no intelligence deride the transcendental form of the Lord as material.

So, in the Middle Ages, after the disappearance of this great associate of Lord Caitanya, a class of priestly persons started claiming to be His descendants and calling themselves the gosvami caste. The first and foremost task of Srila Sarasvati Thakura was to excavate the holy birthplace of Lord Caitanya at Sridhama Mayapur in the district of Nadia in West Bengal, and in order to substantiate this preliminary act of His great future movement, Srila Sarasvati Thakura had to face tremendous difficulties offered by such caste gosvamis at Navadvipa, who even apprehended a lawyer in that initial movement in order to st

Srila Prabhupada further recollects his father’s dealings with sadhus: “Saintly persons must be treated as good as denizens from heaven. Formerly, this was the system if any saintly person came to the home. I saw this in my childhood. Many saintly persons used to come, and my father used to receive them very nicely. Some of them. Still, the system is, if you go to any Indian village, those who are sannyasis (saintly persons) are received very well. Just like many brahmanas were approaching Caitanya Mahaprabhu with invitations when He was touring in South India. That is the system. He hasn’t got to bother for his food or shelter in any place. So, similarly, my father was inviting so many saintly persons. I was not so much impressed by the saintly persons that were coming. Not all of them were real Vaisnavas. That was my discrimination from the beginning of my life. I never liked these bogus svamis and yogis. Never. But my father had no discrimination: ‘Nevermind whatever he is. He i

''Real knowledge is revealed to a devotee only when he comes to the right conclusion about life by the grace of the Lord. Our creation of friends and enemies within this material world is something like dreaming at night. In dreams we create so many things out of various impressions in the subconscious mind, but all such creations are simply temporary and unreal. In the same way, although apparently we are awake in material life, because we have no information of the soul and the Supersoul, we create many friends and enemies simply out of imagination. Śrīla Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī says that within this material world or material consciousness, good and bad are the same. The distinction between good and bad is simply a mental concoction. The actual fact is that all living entities are sons of God, or by-products of His marginal energy. Because of our being contaminated by the modes of material nature, we distinguish one spiritual spark from another. That is also another kind of d

NEW STATEMENT FROM JFSPFoundation, May 13, 2025

(We have confidential info that the ISKCON GBC is sweating now...)

"Srila Prabhupada’s Departure Deserves More Than Dismissal: A Call for Truth and Transparency in ISKCON

On April 25, 2025, Anuttama Das, GBC Minister, ISKCON Communications, issued a public statement on unfounded poison allegations regarding Srila Prabhupada. The document, issued in response to renewed investigations by the Justice for Srila Prabhupada Foundation, claims that these concerns have been thoroughly debunked and are based on unreliable evidence.

As an organization committed to Srila Prabhupada’s mission, we believe this response is not only inadequate—it is an affront to the transparency, truthfulness, and fearlessness that Prabhupada himself demanded of us.
