1. Krsna is so grateful

    Krsna is such a nice friend that even to the enemy He gives the greatest benediction. Just like Putana. Putana came to kill Krsna, smearing poison on her breast. But Krsna gave her promotion on the motherly platform. Krsna is so grateful that “This demon might have come to Me to poison Me, but I […]
  2. Ideal sannyasi, Srila Prabhupada

    Sannyasi should go on preaching, preaching, preaching, preaching. Practically, I was sitting here in Vrndavana, in Radha-Damodara temple. So at the age of seventy years, nobody goes out. At least from Vrndavana nobody goes at the age of seventy years. But Krsna asked me. I thought that “I must go. Guru Maharaja wanted it, Caitanya Mahaprabhu… […]
  3. Why problems increase

    If we do not become very simple servants of Krsna, problems will increase. It will never be solved. If you have got any other desire than to serve Krsna, then the problems will increase. It will never decrease. Therefore bhakti begins, anyabhilasita-sunyam [Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.1.11].
  4. The history of Ratha-yatra

    The gopis got information that Krsna is coming from Dvaraka, so from Vrndavana they went to see Him. And when Krsna and Radharani met, the Radharani lamented that Krsna — He was the same Krsna and the same Radharani — so “This is not a good meeting place. So if You come to Vrndavana, then I shall […]
  5. Association with guru or Krsna by sound

    Rukmini: I feel so far away from you, you know, when you’re not here. Prabhupada: Oh, that you should not think. There are two conceptions: the physical conception and the vibration conception. So physical conception is temporary. The vibration conception is eternal. Just like we are enjoying, or we are relishing, the vibration of Krsna’s […]
  6. Injecting transcendental poison

    “The chanting of Hare Krishna continues to vibrate the brain for several days.” We want to inject this transcendental poison into the heart of the Maya-serpent bitten people in general. Krishna Consciousness by the sound of Hare Krishna, it continues for a moment in the brain of the rascals, then certainly it will act in […]
  7. Devotees whose company we should avoid

    We should befriend and offer special respect to persons who are developed in Krsna consciousness. Other living entities are undoubtedly part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, but because their consciousness is still covered and not developed in Krsna consciousness, we should renounce their association. It is said by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura that even if one is a Vaisnava, if […]
  8. The fortune of the queens at Dvaraka

    One can simply imagine how blissful and blessed were the queens of Lord Krsna, who talked with Him personally and saw Lord Krsna face to face. No one can properly describe the fortune of the wives of Lord Krsna. They took care of Him personally by rendering various transcendental services like bathing Him, feeding Him, pleasing Him and serving […]
  9. Will Srila Prabhupada show the visva-rupa?

    (Nairobi, 28 Oct 1975) Indian man (4): So can you show me something about that visva-svarupa? Prabhupada: You ask me? So am I Krsna? Why you are asking foolishly? That means you do not know Krsna. You are thinking me as Krsna. That you are foolish man. Indian man (4): No, I am not calling you are […]
