A materialist will be bewildered at this, that such a seemingly lusty affair, Sri  Krishna and Associates, Rasa-lila etc. is worshipped by celibates of the highest standards of purity... how is this?  But it demonstrates that mundane sex desire has nothing at all to do with Bhakti yoga.

The Lord Vishwambhara Deva, Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, His marriage is nothing material nor mundane nor irreligious, yet He has made this sacrifice for us, in order to demonstrate the principle of renunciation as key in service to Sri Krsna .

Glories of the holy Names, part 1 : an applicable association with Divine Logos.

All glories to the Sri Krsna sankirtana, the singing and chanting of the Names of Krsna, which cleanses the heart of all things impure, and lets the white lotus of good fortune grow and shine in the heart of the participants!

( Sri Siksastakam of Lord Caitanya, verse 1)

Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu preached widely and practically demonstrated to all the power of the process of sankirtana, proving that the Lord Himself Is His holy Names. 

If someone somehow says Hare Krsna!, in the mind, or aloud, and even concentrates the mind upon that, then she or he will absorb Love-nectar and soon become drunk with spiritual pleasure!  They will start to recognize Krsna in all things around them, and in the end, will return to eternal blissful self-fulfilling Goloka, the para vyoma, or spiritual sky.

The world is astonished to see this! Never before has such perfect mercy been seen,  such a perfect avatara of All-Loving Godhead Sri Krsna as our Lords Caitanya and Nityananda

May 08,'09 This is the latest reaction of my 84 year-old mother, who has been following ISKCON, initially as a vitally interested outsider, since I joined in the early years. She now worships Gopal, and follows the four regs: "Are they stupid, or what? The whole thing is ridiculous! Prabhupada started the movement, he is the holy man. Now they want to change his books, change his arrangements? What if Jesus' disciples started saying that they were as good as Jesus? It would be unacceptable, ridiculous. Nobody will believe them. People are not going to buy this. They (GBC, etc.) MUST be stupid!" This is interesting, as it gives us a little perspective into how the citizens of the world will react to Srila Prabhupada being relegated to a background position, as opposed to his directions to approach him, the bona fide Spiritual Master, as Founder-Acarya of ISKCON and savior of the world's fallen. Clearly, people will not want to accept a bunch of wannabes when they can have a recognized

A Day in the Life...

Sep 21, '07 CANADA — I was just heading down to the temple to pick up my pay cheque, when whom should I see but the newly-stamped Ugrakarma Devi Dasi! "Haribol, Maharajah, please accept my dandabat obeisances", I called out! I was so fortunate to get her association, the modern equivalent of Lord Nityananda’s wife; better, no doubt about it, as she knew all about psychology and modern methods of education. She immediately suggested to me that my character represented a retentive personality type, and that I had better consider taking up washing the toilets, as this would be appropriate service for such a person as myself. Following her learned footsteps, I offered my respects to her passive-aggressive personality type, and decided to see my Temple President to see if I could change my service. There, Sycophantarama dasa suggested that instead, I consider also putting my name on the roster to be as good as God, and become a guru, and thus I could avoid such an unpleasant service career
