“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in my devotional service and worship me with all their hearts”
"Krishna is the avatar of perfect love. The word Krishna is derived from akarshana which means attraction. So the name itself signifies that Krishna is the Supreme Truth, the absolute, manifest in human form, to attract the whole world towards him."
"Buddhir jnanam asammohah, ksama Satyam damah Samah, sukham dukham bhavo bhavo, bhayam cabhayam eva cha. Ahimsa samta tusti, tapodanam yaso yasah, bhavanti Bhava bhutanam, Matta eva prthag vidhah"
God the endless affection, the forgiving, the tolerance, the violence exemption, the peace!
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!
Let Lord Sri Krsna manifest His glorious brightness in your heart.
Giriraj Maharaj Ki JayaBY: B. RADHA-GOVINDA
Govardhana Lila
Pahari, c. 1800In Srimad Bhagavatam 10.21.18, the gopis give the following glorification to Giriraj Govardhan: "Of all the devotees, this Govardhan Hill is the best! O my friends, this hill supplies Krsna and Balaram, along with Their calves, cows, and cowherd friends with all kinds of necessities - water for drinking, very soft grass, caves, fruits, flowers, and vegetables. In this way the hill offers respects to the Lord. Being touched by the Lotus Feet of Krsna and Balarama, Govardhan Hill appears very jubilant."
Govardhan is the witness to uncountable pastimes between the Divine Moieties, Sri Krsna and Srimati Radhika, Govardhan's providing the caves, sweet grasses, ever succulent fruits, beautiful waterfalls, and flowers to enhance these lilas as well as those between Krsna and His sakhas and sakhis. Radha and Syama Kunda, the eyes of Govardhana, are the place of the most intimate lilas of the Divine Couple, Whose tra

"So far my present life is concerned, I do not remember any part of my life when I was forgetful of Krishna.” – Srila Prabhupada.
In the ancient Vedic literatures (Vedas) it is stated that the ultimate cause of all causes, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is Lord Sri Krishna. The name Krishna means “All-attractive”, and by His unlimited, transcendental opulence’s He can attract all living beings. There are many incarnations of Lord Krishna. Each one is scheduled and forecast within the Vedas themselves, and manifest within this material world in order to teach by example the path to spiritual emancipation.
The most recent incarnation of Lord Krishna appeared just over five hundred years ago as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Golden Avatar. It was Lord Chaitanya who predicted that the chanting of His holy names - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare - would spread beyond the shores of India to every town and village in th

Only Srila Prabhupada fearlessly ventured outside of India as the first Vaisnava sannyasi to inject into the materialistic wasteland of America the sublime vision of God's true identity and our loving connection to Him.
Only Srila Prabhupada brought with him to the West the first english edition of the luminous Srimad Bhagavatam, as the formost theistic exposition of God's supreme Personhood.
Only Srila Prabhupada, moved by universal compassion, sat down alone in the midst of decrepid New York City, to chant Hare Krishna for the pleasure of Lord Caitanya and his guru.
Only he lived among the degraded and confused youth of the Lower East Side to mercifully uplift them back to sanity.
Only he masterfully injected into their muddled mentality the sacred words of Lord Krishna to begin their progress towards His eternal service.
Only he patiently fanned their spark of sincerity to gradually mold the most receptive into his fledging followers.
Only he lovingly nurtured their tender c
A poem originally written by HDG Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in the early 1870's.
Alas for those who spend their days
In festive mirth and joy.
The dazzling, deadly, liquid forms
Their hearts fore'er employ.
The shining bottles charm their eyes
And draw their heart's embrace;
The slaves of wine can never rise
From what we call disgrace.
Was man intended to be
A brute in work and heart?
Should man, the Lord of all around,
From common sense depart?
Man's glory is in common sense
Dictating us the grace,
That man is made to live and love
The beauteous Heaven's embrace.
The flesh is not our own alas;
The mortal frame a chain;
The soul confined for former wrongs
Should try to rise again.
Why then this childish play in that
Which cannot be our own;
Which falls within a hundred years
As if a rose ablown.
Our life is but a rosy hue
To go ere long for naught;
The soul alone would last fore'er
With good or evil fraught.
How deep the thought of times to be!
How grave the aspect

“The name “Christ” means “annointed one”. This is taken from the Greek word “Christos”.Some language historians trace the Greek language to the oldest Indo-European language, Sanskrit, which is 3,500 to 6,000 years old, perhaps older. By finding a Sanskrit equivilant, it is reasonable that we may be able to ascertain the probable origin of the word “Christ”.
The Greek “Christos” is almost identical in sound and spelling to the Sanskrit word “Kristo”, meaning all-attractive. Sometimes we meet an attractive girl named Krista or Christa. These are common American and European names, having their roots in the Sanskrit Name of the Lord Krishna.
Christ – Krischto – Krishna The Name is the same
Jesus ist the son of Krishna
Jesus (the son of Christ) talks about his father in heaven: “All things are delivered unto me by my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” (Matthe

“Jesus Christ was such a great personality – the son of God, the representative of God.
He had no fault. Still, he was crucified. He wanted to deliver God consciousness, but in return they crucified him-they were so thankless. They could not appreciate his preaching. But we appreciate him and give him all honor as the representative of God.
Of course, the message that Christ preached was just according to his particular time, place, and country, and just suited for a particular group of people. But certainly he is the representative of God. Therefore we adore Lord Jesus Christ and offer our obeisances to him.
Once, in Melbourne, a group of Christian ministers came to visit me. They asked, “What is your idea of Jesus Christ?” I told them, “He is our guru. He is preaching God consciousness, so he is our spiritual master.” The ministers very much appreciated that. ”

I am so pleased to hear from you that the book distribution
has increased five times than before! Similarly,
I have heard from Chicago and other places also that
they are increasing five times than before. That is very
encouraging to me. You are, I can understand, very
enthusiastic to endeavor for big things on Krishna’s
behalf, and all of the new students there at our Boston
center are also feeling enthusiasm from your example.
That is the business of a leader: He must always be
enthusiastic and inspire others to be always enthusiastic.
Then he is a real leader. And that enthusiastic

Prabhupada, Sri Gaura-Purnima, Mayapur, March 16, 1976: Today is Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s appearance day, so we must discuss this very thoroughly, that, that Rupa Gosvami understood it. Therefore we have to go through guru. Rupa Gosvami is our guru. Narottama dasa Thakura said,
rupa-raghunatha-pade, hoibe akuti, kabe hama bujhabo, sri-yugala-piriti
If we want to understand the transcendental position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, then we have to go through guru, guru- parampara system. Otherwise it is not possible. Rupa-raghunatha pade hoibe akuti.
Unless we accept this process, unless we submit… This whole process is submission. Krishna wants this. Sarva-dharman parityajya [Bg. 18.66] So if you want to approach Krishna, you have to become very submissive. And to whom? “Krishna is not here. To whom I shall submit?”
No. To His devotee, to His representative. The business is submission. So Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared this day for giving mercy to the fallen souls who are so fo

Then we returned to Srila Gurudeva’s(NM) bhajan kutir, Srimati Vrnda devi told Gurudeva that she had noticed him offering some prayers also to Nandi ji, and asked what was he praying for. Srila Gurudeva replied that he was requesting Nandi with folded palms to pray to Siva ji that we may obtain his mercy in his form as Sri Gopisvara Mahadeva (Lord Siva in the form of a Vraja gopi.) He said, “What mercy can we receive from Gopisvara Mahadeva? He can benedict us with gopi-prema, the pure love of the gopis of Vraja.”
On the previous day Srila Gurudeva spoke briefly about Siva-Caturdasi, the appearance day of Lord Siva. He first posed the question: if Sadasiva is eternal, without birth and death, why are we celebrating his appearance day? Srila Gurudeva then replied by saying that also we celebrate the appearance days of Sri Krsna, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and Sri Ramacandra, who are also eternal. The fact is that in his naravata-lila (human-like pastimes), on t
Unfortunately, today’s government leaders are generally dishonest and irreligious, and thus all the affairs of the state suffer. In the name of democracy, rogues and thieves fool the innocent populace into electing them to the most important posts in the government. Recently this has been proven in America, and as a result the citizens condemned the President and dragged him down from his post. This is only one case out of many.
In Kali-yuga, people have no shelter. Due to corrupt government, they are uncertain of their lives and property. The mass of people should always feel secure because of the government’s protection. Therefore, how regrettable it is for the government itself to cause a breach of trust and put the citizens in difficulty for political reasons. We saw during the partition days in India that although Hindus and Muslims had been living together peacefully, manipulation by politicians suddenly aroused feelings of hatred between them, and thus the Hindus and Muslim
Krsna is not in control here. Concentrate your attention, focus on Godhead, multiply that a thousands times; you may get an inkling of Supersoul, but it is Maya who is in control here. This is her house, she is in the house, and everybody dances to her tunes. Except, of course, those who are too busy dancing to Krsna's tune.
For them, there is no longer matter; all is but a seperated energy of Godhead, and He exists as observer in every atom. Just as Bhagavad Gita As It Is, by HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada says, He sits and watches the jiva, waiting for when the jiva has a change of heart. So He is exactly like a rider in the maelstrom of our existence, our mutual existence. We have a similar experience of being within our material bodies, "as if on a machine made of material energy". And what is that energy? It is Maya devi's energy.
But she is in her heart Krsna's devoted servant. It is a joylous task she does, trapping and piercing and binding the jivas

Feb 07, INDIA — The main teaching of Vedic (or Hindu) literature is as follows: "I am not my body, I am pure spirit soul, part and parcel of Krishna."
It is easy to write or say the above sentence. What matters is if the sadhak (or bhakta) realizes the above statement. If you don't realize it, does it matter what kind of society you are part of? That society can be called Hindu, ISKCON, Hare Krishna, etc. I would like to explain to you what the above means, so that the readers will know if they truly understand the above statement. It is useless to write articles if you don't understand these basic principles. The worst obstacle for bhakta is to think that one realizes these concepts when one doesn't.
1) The truth is that the self is not body or inert matter. Self cannot even be touched by matter. Self has assumed affinity to matter. Body and matter is perishable and self is imperishable. When one realizes this fact, one stops giving importance to the perisha
Within this body there is a transcendental person who is never born and never becomes old or dies. He never becomes a child, a youth or an old person. He is the controller of the entire world and all other souls. He is God. He never dies. He never changes His position. He is almighty, He knows past, present and future. He is omniscient. He can do anything He likes, and He is also very merciful causelessly merciful
