Srila Prabhupada:

So our life is continuity, eternal. Just like a boy takes education, expecting to become one day high-court judge. But one who has not taken education—he simply played in the street—how he can become a high-court judge? It is not possible. Therefore it is said, sa eva tat-phalaṁ bhuṅkte tathā tāvat amutra, "in future life." But these rascals, they do not know what is future life. This is modern civilization. They are so rascal. But there is future life. So in this life, if you prepare yourself for the next life, then you are intelligent. If you remain irresponsible rascal, do not know what is going to happen next life, then you will have to suffer. That we must know. How I shall know? What I shall prepare for, and where shall I go? That is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā: yānti deva-vratā devān (BG 9.25). If you act in goodness, then you will be promoted to the higher planetary system, devān, where demigods live. They have ten thousand years of life, very high standard of

Love is voluntary

In Bengali it is said, "If you catch one girl or boy, 'You love me, you love me, you love me.' " Is it love? (laughter) "You love me, otherwise I will kill you." (laughter) Is that love? So Kṛṣṇa does not want to become a lover like that, on the point of revolver, "You love Me, otherwise I shall kill you." That is not love, that is threatening. Love is reciprocal, voluntary, good exchange of feeling, then there is love; not by force.

PRABHUPADA: If you create an artificial God, it is better that He is dead so that He cannot inflict more injuries.
"A person in ignorance of the principles of religion—who, therefore, does nothing in the matter of religion—is far better than a person who misguides others in the name of religion without reference to the factual religious principles of devotional service". - Srimad Bhagavatam 3.9.10, purport

Thus spake Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur ;

If we take up the practical activities of the Madhva and the Gaudiya Vaisnavas for the purpose of such comparison, we find that the former put themselves under a severe reserve in their propagatory methods, whereas the latter are vigorously proselytizing. The Madhvas keep up the old habits and ideas, whereas the Gaudiya Vaisnavas have advanced towards and utilized everything facilitating the true cause of devotion. The former are very fond of archana according to the pancharatrika system; whereas the latter, though not different to adopt archana, yet in addition to that, they perform bhajana like the Dasakuta section of the Madhva community. The Gaudiya Vaisnavas give more stress to bhajana than to archana of the Vyasakuta section of the latter community. The habits and customs of the Southern Indian Vaisnavas are different from those of Northern Indian Gaudiya Vaisnavas, though both of them have a common bas

In Kṛṣṇa consciousness we are getting sufficient money, but we should never think that the money belongs to us; it belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be equally distributed to the workers, the devotees. No devotee should claim that any money or property belongs to him. If one thinks that any portion of property of this huge universe belongs to anyone, he is to be considered a thief and is punishable by the laws of nature." - SB 8.1.10com Srila Prabhupada9468803687?profile=original

“A devotee in Mādhurya-rasa has five characteristics in all:

1 - she is steadfast in her attachment to Śrī Kṛṣṇa (like a Śānta-devotee);

2 - extreme Sevā (of the Dāsa-devotee);

3 - the unhesitating (frank) behavior of the Sakhā;

4 - caring and protecting attitude of the Vātsalya-devotee;

5 - over and above, she serves Śrī Kṛṣṇa by offering her body.

Just as the five elements (sky, air, fire, water and earth) have the qualities of the previous
elements, and ultimately the earth has all the five characteristics, similarly the Mādhurya-devotee
has a beautiful conglomeration of all the qualities of the devotees in other Rasas.

Therefore this Rasa has much more relish and it tastes extraordinarily wonderful !!!”

(Rādhā Kuṇḍa Mahānta Paṇḍita Śrī Ananta Dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja)

Try to grasp what has taken place. The world elite zionists and jews killed Srila Prabhupada and set up Mayapura and Bangalore and finance both, as controlled opposition. Those who support this cia murder and take-over by advertising them will go to hell with them. They are dragging millions into the most severe vaisnava aparadha possible; murder of the Acarya, so it is a great black magickal work to send Vaisnavas to hell.

It is beyond your small mind to understand, so you stupidly fall in line like animals and cultists. These wonders are the result of OUR surrendered services, giving our lives to the cause, but demons have seized control now, and you asses are going along with this move from archdemons.

The murderers must be 100% outed, all their lackeys removed from offices, Srila Prabhupada and disciples put back in charge, and all the Deities and initiations must be redone as they are b

Drug addicts seek love, security, amusement, and thus relief from material pain. A positive alternative is available; ie Krsna consciousness. Eternal love and dignified service is available, so the self identity can be healed. Intoxicators are seeking their constitutional position, though they do not usually know what is driving them. Intoxication is good, look at the intoxicated activities of those in Krsna and Mahaprabhu's pastimes; but that intoxication is natural, not artificial. Taking earthly intoxicants can bind one to temporary things, as well as create poverty ,crime, illness, and social troubles. Try to avoid them, take to chanting hare krsna and be vegetarian. Certainly never drink alcohol. So many lives are ruined due to that demonic assault. You will find a much better life if you can find spiritual happiness, and a good destination.

Simple truth; Srila Prabhupada wished us to carry on much as the Christians do, with Jesus acarya. He set up ritviks to do initiations for him in the early seventies, and asked us not to change anything. He said that his disciples are to always remain in control of all his properties and rights. He told Cayavana Swami that he would have MILLIONS of disciples. He also appointed eleven ritivks on Tamaljudases' and the demonjews pushing, this confirmed by eye witnesses; ritivks, not gurus. So, its all setttled, we continue on as always. Any who disagree, be at peace. I will not even speak to you any more, waste of time.

There is no Sadhana siddhi in Kaliyuga, only Krpa siddhi;

"Therefore, having a bonafide spiritual master and serving him, and pleasing him, and getting his mercy is essential. Otherwise there can be NO advancement in Krsna consciousness. And unless the spiritual master is a pure devotee of Krsna, then he has no potency to give Krsna. He is simply a cheating rascal!
So, in fact, above all the rules and regulations and offenses I have mentioned, the most important thing, the essential thing, which is required, if you want to come to the stage of purely chanting the Hare Krsna mantra,
is, you MUST have a bonafide spiritual master, who is a pure devotee of Krsna. Without having a bonafide spiritual master you can chant Hare Krsna forever, but will not be able to advance, because Krsna does
not reveal Himself in this way. He ONLY reveals Himself to those devotees who surrender to, and serve, and please His pure dev

Berkeley devotees, today is the disappearance day of Sri Gadadhar Pandit.

"Sri Krsna is the Supreme Almighty, but if you go deep into the scriptures you will see so many more things about Him, as given us by Srila Rupa Gosvami. Krsna wanted to attract the fallen souls to Him, and He wanted to give the ocean of rasa, Srimati Radhika's mahabhava, to the world – but He could not. He could only give His own love, not love TO Him, which only Radhika has in completeness. He would therefore have to steal Her beauty and mood.

"He could not steal it, however, because Radhika is always alert and more clever and intelligent than He. He could only have the wish for it, and therefore He had to beg Her. Her sakhis were also present when He prayed to Her, "I beg Your mercy, Your beauty, and Your mahabhava." Srimati Radhika replied, "Yes, I'm donating it for some time, but You will have to attend the class of My sakhis (Visakha-devi in

Why We Don’t See 4,750 Disciples of Prabhupada Active In ISKCON with Reference to Sriman Pradyuma’s Courageous Warning of 1978
Anyone who joined the Hare Krishna Movement in the 60's or 70's knows how integral His Grace Sriman Pradyumna Prabhu was as part of Srila Prabhupada's travelling party and as Sanskrit editor. They were inseparable. Pradyumna was entrusted with a tremendous responsibility, to compete the Srimad Bhagavatam, until a few overly-ambitious godbrothers, some of whom are gurus worshiped today, appeared on the scene to drive him away. This history is not includrd in todays “Disciples’ Course “
Pradyumna Prabhu's voice can be heard leading the recitation of the Sanskrit at the beginning of most Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavatam, Nectar of Devotion and other classes. It is completely fitting that Srila Prabhupada chose him to complete the rest of the Srimad Bhagavatm, under the guidance of Srila Prabhupada's godbrother , Srila Bhakti Rakshak

*Glorification of Hare Krishna Maha Mantra:*

In Kali Santarana Upanishad, it is mentioned, “These 16 names composed of 32 syllables are the only means counteracting the evil effect of Kali Yuga. After searching through all the Vedic literature, one cannot find a method of religion for this age so sublime as the chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra”

According to Brihad Vishnu Sahasranama Stotra and Brahmanda Purana, one name of Rama is equal to 1000 names of Vishnu and three names of Rama is equal to one name of Krishna.

In Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, there are 4 Krishnas.
4 Krishnas = 4 * 3 = 12 Ramas.
Also, there are another 4 Ramas in the Mantra.
So, 12 + 4 = total of 16 Ramas in the Mantra.
1 Rama = 1000 Vishnus (equivalent to 1 Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram).
Therefore, 16 Ramas = 16 * 1000 = 16,000 Vishnus.
So, One Maha Mantra = 16,000 Vishnus (equivalent to 16 Vishnu Sahasranama Stotrams).

It takes about 5.5 hours to recite 16 times of Vishnu Sahasran

Abhinanda Das Acbsp

By Sri Nayanananda Thakura

Amongst the assembly of priya-sakhas1 four are outstanding. Sridama, Sudama, Vasudama, and Kinkini are the foremost among Krishna’s beloved boyfriends, being in full knowledge of all his secrets. They are equally aware of both types of Krishna’s lilas—those that are agopya (suitable for being revealed) as well as those that are gopya (appropriate to be concealed). All of the confidential Vraja-lilas like vastra-harana (the stealing of the gopis clothes) are fully known to these four boys.

One day the gopis assembled together and traveled to the bank of the Yamuna in order to perform puja to the Goddess Katyayani. Leaving their garments on the riverbank they immersed themselves in the water and engaged in water-sports in a playful spirit. Although situated elsewhere at the time, Yogeshvara Bhagavan could understand everything from within himself, and quickly came to that spot along with his confidential boy friends. For the purpose of ful

Who are the muslims?

Sudip Nair " Later, in the form of a ghostly presence, the expert illusionist Mahamada appeared at night in front of King Bhojaraja and said: "O King, your religion is of course known as the best religion among all. Still, by the order of the Lord, I am going to establish a terrible and demoniac religion and enforce a strong creed over the meat-eaters [mlecchas]. My followers will be known by their cut [circumcised] genitals, they will have no shikha [tuft of hair on their head, like Brahmanas], but will have a beard, make noise loudly, and eat all kinds of animals except swine without observing any rituals. They will perform purificatory acts with the musala, and thus be called musalman, and not purify their things with kusha grass [one of the Vedic customs]. Thus, I will be the originator of this adharmic [opposed to Vedic or Aryan Dharma] and demoniac religion of the meat-eating nations." " - Bhavishya Purana, (Prati Sarga: Part III, 3.3.5-27). 9468804066?profile=original
