Those who steadfastly cling to the lotus feet of Guru and Krishna, come hell or high water, will ultimately become the most successful souls in the history of the universe. This is why Lord Krishna declares emphatically in the Bhagavad-gita: ya idaṁ paramaṁ guhyaṁ mad-bhakteṣv abhidhāsyati bhaktiṁ mayi parāṁ kṛtvā mām evaiṣyaty asaṁśayaḥ na ca tasmān manuṣyeṣu kaścin me priya-kṛttamaḥ bhavitā na ca me tasmād anyaḥ priyataro bhuvi For one who explains this supreme secret to the devotees, pure devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me.

The Ultimate Self Realization Course To Free You from Confusion and Anxiety  and Bless You with Unlimited Bliss George Harrison with the Devotees Srila Prabhupada Very Much Appreciated George Harrison Thought for Day--7 April 2026 Srila Prabhupada has written as follows in his purport to Nectar of Instruction Text 5: One of our friends, a famous English musician, has become attracted to chanting the holy names of Kṛṣṇa, and even in his records he has several times mentioned the holy name of Kṛṣṇa. At his home he offers respect to pictures of Kṛṣṇa and also to the preachers of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. In all regards, he has a very high estimation for Kṛṣṇa's name and Kṛṣṇa's activities; therefore we offer respects to him without reservation, for we are actually seeing that this gentleman is advancing gradually in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Such a person should always be shown respect. The conclusion is that anyone who is trying to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness by regularly chanting the h...

The Ultimate Self Realization Course To Free You from Confusion and Anxiety  and Bless You with Unlimited Bliss Knife Scissors Argument The Scientists Will Not Admit Defeat Thought for Day--6 April 2026 We find this in the section of the Vedabase entitled Prabhupāda Tells Short Stories: Prabhupāda wanted his devotee-scientists to form the Bhaktivedanta Institute. By writing books and giving lectures, they should destroy the theories that life comes from matter and that there is no supreme being. The atheistic scientists will be very stubborn, he warned them. To illustrate the stubbornness of the materialists, Prabhupāda told the story of “scissors philosophy.” Two men were arguing about which cutting instrument should be used, a knife or scissors. “Knife!” said one. “No, scissors!” said the other. Their talk became a heated fight. “If you don’t agree,” said the man who advocated the knife, “I will throw you in the river.” “No, I’ll never change my mind. It’s scissors!” So the knife...

The Ultimate Self Realization Course To Free You from Confusion and Anxiety  and Bless You with Unlimited Bliss Krishna Wants Us All to Come Home Everyone Is Looking for Krishna Thought for Day--5 April 2026 We find this in Srila Prabhupada's book Beyond Birth and Death: All feelings of distress and happiness are due to the body. Under certain conditions the body and mind feel happiness and distress. Factually we are hankering after happiness, for the soul's constitutional position is that of happiness. The soul is part and parcel of the Supreme Being, who is sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ [Bs. 5.1]—the embodiment of knowledge, bliss, and eternity. Indeed, the very name Kṛṣṇa, which is nonsectarian, means "the greatest pleasure." Kṛṣ means "greatest," and ṇa means "pleasure." Kṛṣṇa is the epitome of pleasure, and being part and parcel of Him, we hanker for pleasure. A drop of ocean water has all the properties of the ocean itself, and we, although minute ...

The Ultimate Self Realization Course To Free You from Confusion and Anxiety  and Bless You with Unlimited Bliss Srila Prabhupada: the Perfection of Sobriety I Was Told, "You Have to Become Sober." Thought for Day--4 April 2026 As a young spiritual seeker, I received a powerful instruction from His Holiness Vishnujana Swami: “You have to become sober.” You can read about this pastime here in this excerpt from my memoir, The Divine Love Memoir. One beautiful spring evening, I was attending a Krishna consciousness program conducted by His Holiness Vishnujana Swami at the home of Robin Ferris. (Robin was the person I mentioned earlier who was selling Hare Krishna literature and incense on his blanket at the hippie street market.) In those days, there was no such thing as bottled water. So, feeling thirsty at one point in the program, I stepped into the kitchen to get a drink of water. And who was in the kitchen with me? Astonishingly, it was Vishnujana Swami himself! We were alon...
