  2. Overcoming maya

    You cannot ever overcome, because you are all weak. Daivi hy esa guna-mayi mama maya [Bg 7.14]. Unless you are very strong, maya is very, very stronger than you. How you can avoid it?

  3. The bliss of the Six Gosvamis

    That is pleasure, serving God. Just like Rupa Gosvami, just see, in the cottage. They are minister. They are ministers. Tyaktva turnam asesa-mandala-pati-srenim.

We living entities also belong to the spiritual prakrti, we are expansion of spiritual prakrti. Just like Srimati Radharani is always engaged […]
  7. A ticket back to Godhead

    One should try to purchase a ticket to go back home, back to Godhead. The price of such a ticket is one’s intense desire for it, which is not easily awakened, even if one continuously performs pious activities for thousands of lives.

  8. Krsna plays the flute backward

    Acyutananda Swami was standing next to Prabhupada that night in the Calcutta temple. “Prabhupada,” he said, “someone put Krsna’s flute in backward.” Prabhupada looked. It was backward. “Krsna is all-powerful” he said, turning to Acyutananda Swami. “He can play from the back end also.” from Srila Prabhupada lilamrta
