  1. How pure devotees react to difficulties

    Sometimes a representative of the Lord engaged in preaching work meets various so-called difficulties. This was exhibited by Lord Nityananda when He delivered the two fallen souls Jagai and Madhai, and similarly Lord Jesus Christ was crucified by the nonbelievers. But such difficulties are gladly suffered by the devotees in preaching because in such activities, […]
  2. The symptom of mukti

    When we speak about the Krsna consciousness movement, which is meant to make people intelligent, the conditioned living entity therefore misunderstands it. He is so engrossed in the material concept of life that he does not think there can be any activities that are actually based on intelligence beyond the construction of skyscrapers and big […]
  3. Hanuman’s policy

    Our policy is to take away the money from the atheist and employ it to the service of Ramacandra. Just like Hanuman. Hanuman was fighting not for his personal. He was trying to recover Sita from the hands of Ravana to bring her again to the side of Ramacandra. That was his policy. So devotee’s […]
  4. Various forms of kirtana

    We perform kirtana with khol, karatala, this is also krsna-kirtana. And to write books, that is also krsna-kirtana. And to read books, that is also krsna-kirtana.

Actually it is anartha. They have created so many things. Ramesvara: They are very much afraid if we close down the gambling houses and the prostitution houses that […]

  7. Education to become a bigger fool

    In the education circles they are made fools. Education means he’s a more fool, that’s all. That is education. Mudha. Mayayapahrta-jnana. These fools and rascals, their actual knowledge is taken away, and they are coming out as educated. That we are protesting. Srila Prabhupada; “Life Comes From Life” Slideshow Discussions – July 3, 1976, Washington, […]
  8. Christian allies

    The other day I was invited by some Christian monks to come to their very large monastery in the countryside near Melbourne, and they were so much appreciating our Krsna consciousness philosophy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and they read our Bhagavad-gita every night, and they are all very nice persons and have stopped eating meat.
