1. Careful even in Vrndavana

    So we should be very careful that even in Vrndavana, if we miss the point, if we are attached to something, then we have to accept another life, either as beast or tree. Of course, the chance will be given to become a tree and beast in Vrndavana. That is also profitable, because next life […]
  2. Respectful to Vrndavana

    As Krsna, the Brajendra-nandana Hari Krsna, as He is worshipable, similarly His dhama is worshipable. We should be very much respectful to Vrndavana dhama; otherwise we’ll be offender, dhamaparadha. Dhamaparadha. If we remain in Vrndavana we should know that we are living with Krsna. And how much we should be cautious, how much we should […]
  3. The perfection of Krsna consciousness

    It is stated in Srinivasacarya’s prayer to the Six Gosvamis that they left the material opulences of government service and the princely status of life and went to Vrndavana, where they lived just like ordinary mendicants, begging from door to door. But they were so much enriched with the gopis‘ feelings of separation that they […]
  4. Loving Krsna’s dog

    Your next question is, should we love Krishna or love the spiritual master: You cannot go to Krishna directly, loving Him. It is common sense that if Krishna is the object of your love, His pet dog is also the object of your love. Friends meet friends and if the friend is with his dog […]
  5. Govardhana-puja

    First of all, Nanda Maharaja was not willing, but out of the affection of Krsna… That is devotee, that Krsna… Devotees of Krsna, they are acting always in love for Krsna. So Nanda Maharaja changed his idea of worshiping Indra. Rather, on the contrary, all the ingredients he collected, he worshiped the Govardhana Hill and […]
  6. Becoming greater than God

    The Supreme Personality of Godhead is feared by everyone, but He becomes fearful of Mother Yasoda: “My dear mother, kindly do not bind Me. I shall obey your orders.” So Mother Yasoda has become more than God, more than Krsna. The Mayavadi [impersonalistic] philosophers want to become one with the Lord, but our philosophy is […]
  7. That is love

    Ahaituki, without any cause. “O Lord, I love You, God, because You supply me so many nice things. You are order-supplier.” No. Not that sort of love. Without any exchange. That is taught by Caitanya Mahaprabhu, that “Whatever You do…” Aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam [Cc Antya 20.47]. Either You trample Me under Your feet […]
  8. Making one’s mind as good as Vrndavana

    Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila 13.137, purport by Srila Prabhupada: The mind’s activities are thinking, feeling and willing, by which the mind accepts materially favorable things and rejects the unfavorable. This is the consciousness of people in general. But when one’s mind does not accept and reject but simply becomes fixed on the lotus feet of Krsna, […]
