You ask about marriage, yes, actually I want that every woman in the Society should be married. But what is this training to become wives and mothers? No school is required for that, simply association. And it is not necessary to say that women only can instruct the girls and men only can instruct the […]

Talks about Krsna and His pastimes — especially His pastimes in Vrndavana and His dealings with the gopis — are all very confidential. They are not subject matter for public discussion because those who have no understanding of the transcendental nature of Krsna’s pastimes always commit great offenses, thinking Krsna to be an ordinary human […]

Srila Narottama dasa Thakura says in this connection, chadiya vaisnava-seva nistara peyeche keba: “Unless one serves the spiritual master and acaryas, one cannot be liberated.” Elsewhere he says: ei chaya gosani yanra — mui tanra dasatan-sabara pada-renu mora panca-grasa “I simply accept a person who follows in the footsteps of the Six Gosvamis, and the […]

The Mayavadi sannyasis deny the form of the Lord, which delivers all fallen souls. Indeed, the Mayavadi demons try to cut this […]

There is a sweet transcendental interrelation between all living entities, irrespective of not only caste, creed, and colour between man and man, but between man and beast, man and birds, man and reptiles, man and plants, etc., and so also between man and God, and between God and others, and so on….as such the [farm] […]

It is said in the scriptures, brahma-saukhyam tv anantam: spiritual happiness is unlimited. Here it is said that even the Lord cannot measure such happiness. This does not mean that the Lord cannot measure it and is therefore imperfect in that sense. The actual position is that the Lord can measure it, but the happiness […]
