Subhadra is the sister of Krishna. She is considered an incarnation of YogaMaya who appears as per the instructions of Krishna. Subhadra was married to her first cousin Arjuna, the Pandava, who was the third son of Queen Kunti. Kunti was the sister of Vasudeva, who was Subhadra's father.

Subhadra and Arjuna were the parents of Abhimanyu, whose posthumous son Parikshita, born to the widowed Uttara, was the sole surviving dynast of the entire Kuru family.

The Nectar Of Instruction is exactly that, instructions for leading a nectarean life in Krishna Consciousness. We begin the path by controlling the senses: Chanting, eating prasadam, having KC children, Krishna Katha, Sankirtan.  We advance further by submitting to a spiritual master, who brings us further on the path to KC.  By offering up everything to Krishna, we advance. The highest form is prema, total dependence on Krishna, just like Radharani and the gopis.

How does one recognize a spiritual master? The spiritual master is kind and compassionate to all jivas, even animal-bodied ones. The spiritual master works for the upliftment of jivas, desiring all to reach Goloka-Vridavan.  But most importantly, the true spiritual master is all about Krishna. The spiritual master can use the most mundane things for the glory of Krishna. The spiritual master turns the dross of material life to the gold of spiritual life by revealing how to follow the regulative princip

                            Our Highest Duty

by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda

Question 1: What is our highest duty?

Answer: This human form of life lasts only a moment and it is extremely rare. Instead of wasting our time by engaging in wicked, offensive or wasteful activities, we should all engage our minds in hari-bhajana, abandoning everything else.

We have attained this human birth after many lifetimes, and this human form is the rarest form of life. It is not just rare, but extremely rare. Although it is a temporary designation, it is nevertheless known as paramārtha-prada – that which grants supreme, absolute welfare. Those

who have discriminating intelligence, for as long as their human body permits the pursuit of spiritual life (sādhana), abandon all material activities, and without even a moment’s delay endeavour to achieve the highest benefit.

In order to attain the topmost benefit, one has to take shelter of the lotus feet of a bona fide spiritual m

                   The Ten Kinds of Offenses to the Holy Name

The Holy Name is not lip-deep only – a mere physical sound.

It has a greater and higher aspect; it is fully spiritual. That must
