Читать полностью…Mangala-ārātrika means auspicious beginning of your day. If you stand before mangala-ārātrika... In Vṛndāvana you see now, every temple, as soon as there is four o'clock, the ding-dong bell immediately begins.
The Nectar of Devotion lecture- Vrndavana, November 13, 1972
How can I avoid getting bored when I chant Japa?
And we cannot finish even sixteen rounds, because we have not created our taste for chanting. Still we are in the nāmāparādha stage. But don't be disappointed. Go on chanting.

Читать полностью…So this is Vaiṣṇava.
Hanumān was ordered to bring some medicine from some mountain. And he was a monkey, he was animal, he did not know how to pick up it—"Take the whole mountain. Execute the order. And then Rāmacandra and Lakṣmana, They'll find out what is that medicine." So this is Vaiṣṇava. In one's own capacity he should give the best service to the Lord.

Читать полностью…Our Only Request!
Our only request is that if you want happiness, if you want to prosper, make your life successful, you must read Bhagavad-gita thoroughly, as it is, as Krsna says. Don't try to misinterpret.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Bhagavad- gita 4.13 -- Bombay, April 2, 1974
The spiritual planet, Goloka Vṛndāvana, the eternal abode of Lord Kṛṣṇa, is shaped like the whorl of a lotus flower. Even when the Lord descends to any one of the mundane planets, He does so by manifesting His own abode as it is. Thus His feet remain always on the same big whorl of the lotus flower. His feet are also as beautiful as the lotus flower. Therefore it is said that Lord Kṛṣṇa has lotus feet.
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.16.6 Purport:
Proper Utilization Of Time!
We take a newspaper and we read what the politician says, what so many nonsense things. We waste our time. Srama eva hi kevalam [SB 1.2.8]. We should increase our taste for hearing and chanting about Visnu, Krsna.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad -Bhagavatam 7.5.23-24 -- Vrndavana, March 31, 1976
Our Dearmost Friend!
Always remember Krsna Who is your dearmost friend and always serve Him just to please Him, and He will give you all intelligence how to be a first-class devotee.
- From Srila Prabhupada's letter to Mr. DDD -- Los Angeles 3 March, 1970
कभी-कभी असुरगण भक्त को यह घोषित करते हैं कि वे ईश्वर के अस्तित्व को इसलिए नहीं मानते; क्योंकि वे उन्हें देख नहीं सकते। किन्तु असुर जो कुछ नहीं जानता उसका वर्णन स्वयं श्रीभगवान् ने श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता (७.२५) में किया है—नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः—“मैं कभी अल्पज्ञ तथा अज्ञानी के समक्ष प्रकट नहीं होता। उनके लिए मैं योगमाया से आवृत रहा करता हूँ।" श्रीभगवान् केवल भक्तों द्वारा देखे जाने हेतु अनावृत रहते हैं, परन्तु अभक्त उन्हें नहीं देख सकते।
(SB 7.8.12 तात्पर्य)
Today's is the appearance day of Narshimha Bhagwan 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nṛsiṁha-deva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possess nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demonlike desires for fruitive activity in this material world. Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world."

✨ *_Your Perfection_* ✨
All Perfections Come From The Holy Name
The Lord and His name are the same. This will be understood clearly when the coverings in your heart are removed. By chanting without offenses you will personally realize that all perfections come from the holy name.

Читать полностью…At least in my life, as with so many devotees, whatever has happened to me in Krsna consciousness began with reading one of Srila Prabhupada's books. Looking back at what that Krsna book did for me, I can very confidently state that Srila Prabhupada's book s are not really books at all, at least not in the ordinary sense. Srila Prabhupada's books are not simply pieces of paper with ink on them. Srila Prabhupada's books are mercy incarnations of Krsna in literary form, presenting Himself through His chosen re presentative. Krsna is personally present in every letter, along with his pure devotee Srila Prabhupada. It must be so, otherwise how could they alter and uplift lives as they do?
- Bhakti Vikasa Swami
From the book 'My Memories of Srila Prabhupada'
God Knows Everyone's Business!
God is also an individual person as you are individual person, I am individual person, but the difference between God and you and me is this, that you know your business, I know my business, but God knows everyone's business. That is the difference.
- From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.5 -- Melbourne, April 3, 1972, Lecture at Christian Monastery
At Tirupati, there are so many hills. From the distant place, your vision is not clear. You simply see something like cloudy, the same mountain. But if you make little further progress, you see the same mountain or hill greenish. And if you actually go in the same hill, you will find there are so many animals, so many men and so many houses. So object is the same, but from different angle vision, it appears differently. Similarly, unless one can understand Krsna perfectly, he realizes the Absolute Truth as impersonal, nirakara Brahman.
From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.11 - Tirupati, April 26, 1974
