Flip the Switch that Turns on Everything 31 May 2025 Srila Prabhupada writes as follows in the preface to The Nectar of Devotion: "The Nectar of Devotion will teach us how to turn the one switch that will immediately brighten everything, everywhere. One who does not know this method is missing the point of life." Just as by flipping a light an entire room becomes brightened, similarly when we follow the guidelines given in The Nectar of Devotion the entire world becomes illuminated because we will be able to experience Krishna everywhere.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Become Happy by Making Krishna Happy 29 May 2025 In his introduction to The Bhagavad-gita As It Is Srila Prabhupada tell us how to be happy: "Factually we are related to the Supreme Lord in service. The Supreme Lord is the supreme enjoyer, and we living entities are His servitors. We are created for His enjoyment, and if we participate in that eternal enjoyment with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we become happy. We cannot become happy otherwise. It is not possible to be happy independently, just as no one part of the body can be happy without cooperating with the stomach. It is not possible for the living entity to be happy without rendering transcendental loving service unto the Supreme Lord." If we follow...

Sometimes we are overwhelmed when things become nightmarish. Sometimes things are super wonderful and sometimes things are terrifying. We must push forward on the path of spiritual progress, Krishna consciousness, steadily through all of these good times and bad times. In this way our attaining the spiritual world at the time of death is assured.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Please Assist Me in Delivering the World 27 May 2025 Srila Prabhupada has blessed us with Lord Caitanya's order to deliver the world. And he confirmed to me in writing that I could accept this order as my personal mission. So this is my desire, to remain here in the cycle of birth and death until all the poor souls who are entrapped here in this hellish material world are delivered back to home, back to Godhead. One might ask, "Is this at all possible? Or is this only a foolish utopian dream?:" Srila Prabhupada has answered this question in his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 8, Text 246 purport in which he writes: In the Itihāsa-samuccaya, Nārada tells Puṇḍarīka: janmāntara-sahasreṣ...

The Unlimited Mercy of Prahlad Maharaja 24 May 2025 Prahlāda Mahārāja said, "I do not wish to go alone to Vaikuṇṭha unless I take all these rascals with me." Just see how kind he is. He does not want to go back to Godhead unless all the fallen souls of this material world are also delivered. He is truly an ocean of mercy.

Enter Like a Needle and Cone Out Like a Plow 23 May 2025 There is a famous Bengali saying quoted by Srila Prabhupada: Enter like a needle, come out like a plow. In this way we cultivate people to become devotees very gradually. First we invite them to come and take prasadam and sing and dance in ecstasy. After they have gotten a taste of spiritual bliss we then explain to them the unlimited happiness they can experience by giving their entire lives to Krishna. In this way we enter to their lives as needles and come out like plows. Those who are most fortunate take advantage of our invitation.

A Curse Can Be Turned into a Blessing 22 May 2025 When Maharaja Parikshit was cursed by a brahmana boy to die within seven days even though the curse was unjustified he took it as a blessing.

Offending a Devotee is Most Dangerous 21 May 2025 Srila Prabhupada has written in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Fourth Canto, Chapter 23, Text 37 as follows: Pṛthu Mahārāja has explained in the previous verse the importance of devotional service for both the rulers and the citizens of the state. Now he explains how one can be steadily fixed in devotional service. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, while instructing Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, has compared the devotional service of the Lord with a creeper. A creeper has a feeble stem and requires the support of another tree to grow, and while growing, it requires sufficient protection so that it may not be lost. While describing the system of protection for the creeper of devotional serv...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Regain Your Strength 20 May 2025 Sometimes devotees become very discouraged, feeling that they have lost their potency to practice and preach Krishna consciousness. But they can find great solace in these words written by Śrīla Prabhupāda in The Nectar of Devotion: Pārvatī, the wife of Lord Śiva, told her husband, “My dear Pañcamukha [five-faced one], just look at the Pāṇḍavas! After hearing the sound of Kṛṣṇa’s conchshell, known as Pāñcajanya, they have regained their strength and are just like lions.” Thus, if devotees ever feel discouraged, simply by hearing the sound of the conchshell during the ārati ceremony—which is nondifferent from Kṛṣṇa’s own conchshell—they can regain their strength. Personally, I draw strength ...
