Hare Krsna Dasis
I am going away to India for a little while. I know many of you find inpiration from this site and check it regularly, so I put up a nice long article entitled “The Meaning of Love.” I felt this lecture was very appropriate for us especially since our primary focus [...]

The Meaning of Love

I was privileged to listen to a recording of a wonderful Bhagavatam class given by HH Niranjana Swami. It was given at a retreat in Ukraine in 2004, to a group of hundreds of devotees gathered there to be trained on how to serve other devotees in the capacity of counsellors. I have [...]

Krsna loves you. It shows in all the wonderful things He has given us!
Breathe in deep lungfuls of fresh air, appreciate the blue sky today, exult in the abundance of summer, say thank you!
Krsna has given you all this because He loves you. We chose to turn away from Him, but He still [...]

“What happened to the Vedic dasi?”
And I thought,” Gee, what did happen to the Vedic Dasi?!” Lol. I thought maybe you could help me figure it out.

One time, Madhavendra Puri came to a town. He felt too unqualified to enter the temple there, so he passed the day outside it, and when night came, found a tree under which to sleep.

Srila Prabhupada’s books are the benediction for the world. Distributing his books endears us to him and to Krsna.
Give someone Prabhupada during this marathon, and create their good fortune.
You will go out to give, but in doing so you will receive much, much more.
It is no coincidence that the Christmas marathon starts immediately after [...]

KB wanted to share this amazing pastime with all of you. I personally wanted to study Krsna’s arguments against Indra Puja and in favour of Govardhana Puja given in this pastime, but never got round to it. So I’m glad she chose this one. More wonderful pastimes like this are found in [...]

“There are two ways of association – by vani and by vapuh. Vani means words, and vapuh means physical presence. Physical presence is sometimes appreciable and sometimes not, but vani continues to exist eternally.”
– Srila Prabhupada, Bombay, November 10, 1974
