The Absolute Personality of Godhead is not different from His transcendental name, form, pastimes and the sound vibrations thereof. As soon as a pure devotee engages himself in the pure devotional service of hearing, chanting and remembering the name, fame and activities of the Lord, at once He becomes visible to the transcendental eyes of the pure devotee by […]

Life is Krsna consciousness. So if you actually feel for your country, for your community, for your people, just spread this Krsna consciousness. They’re dying. You spread this Krsna consciousness, they’ll come again to life, and everything will be actually beautiful. That is my request. I came to your country with this mission, that “The American people, they are […]

One who is engaged in chanting the holy name, for him this is the special facility. What is that? It is guaranteed that he’ll never go to the hellish condition of life. That is guaranteed.

The Bhagavatam is especially meant for the pure devotees, who always engage in Krsna consciousness, in the activities of the Lord, and always glorify these transcendental activities. Pure devotees worship the transcendental activities of the Lord in Vrndavana, Dvaraka and Mathura as they are narrated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam and other Puranas. The Mayavadi philosophers completely reject them as stories, but […]

God is feeding us. You will find in Africa, there are millions of elephants. Who is giving them food? In your home, within the hole, you will find millions of ants. Are you giving them food? Who is giving them food? There are so many birds and beasts. There is no ration, government ration for them. They are eating. […]

When one gets tired of keeping a burden on his head, he will place it on his shoulder. This does not mean that he has become freed from the strains of carrying the burden. Similarly, human society in the name of civilization is creating one kind of trouble to avoid another kind of trouble. In contemporary civilization we see […]

We should not take very leniently that we are going back to Godhead. Of course, there is so many concession, but at the same time, we should be very much aware of the responsibility that we have decided to go back to Godhead after leaving this body, so we have to perform some austerities. The austerity in our Gaudiya-sampradaya […]
