It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Today is Radharani's Appearance Day August 31 2025 In London on September 5, 1973, which was Rādhāṣṭamī, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī's appearance day, Srila Prabhupada spoke very wonderfully as follows: Actual aim of life is to satisfy Lord Viṣṇu, and Kṛṣṇa is the origin of viṣṇu-tattva. And He is pleased through Rādhārāṇī. Therefore we don't keep Kṛṣṇa alone. No. Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. First Rādhārāṇī. So that day is today. First you have to worship Rādhārāṇī. If you go through Rādhārāṇī... Therefore in Vṛndāvana you will see all devotees, they will address one another, "Jaya Rādhe." Still. Because they know that "If Rādhārāṇī is pleased, if I can please Rādhārāṇī..." Rādhārāṇī is presented the original pleasu...

Inaction in action and action in inaction

Thought For the Day The Ultimate Self Realization Course "Godhead is light. Nescience is darkness. Where there is Godhead there is no nescience." Note: This is not written by artificial intelligence. It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. How to See Inaction in Action and Action in Inaction August 29 2025 In Bhagavad-gita 4.18 we find this verse: karmaṇy akarma yaḥ paśyed akarmaṇi ca karma yaḥ sa buddhimān manuṣyeṣu sa yuktaḥ kṛtsna-karma-kṛt One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men, and he is in the transcendental position, although engaged in all sorts of activities. This means those that who act in Krishna consciousness, in terms of karma, are inactive because they do not get any karmic reaction no matter they do. But those who try to practice inactivity by going to meditate in the mountains are still active, in terms of their karma, because they kill so many germs by their natural bodily functions.

Here is the art of dying

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Here is the Art of Dying August 28 2025 In his purport to SB 4.28.15 Srila Prabhupada instructs us in the art of dying: At the last stage of life, the different gates of the body are choked by the effects of disease, which are caused by an imbalance of bile, mucus and air. Thus the living entity cannot clearly express his difficulties, and surrounding relatives hear the sound "ghura ghura" from a dying man. In his Mukunda-mālā-stotra, King Kulaśekhara states: kṛṣṇa tvadīya-padapaṅkaja-pañjarāntam adyaiva me viśatu mānasa-rāja-haṁsaḥ prāṇa-prayāṇa-samaye kapha-vāta-pittaiḥ kaṇṭhāvarodhana-vidhau smaraṇaṁ kutas te [MM33] "My dear Kṛṣṇa, please help me die immediately so that the swan of my mind may be encircl...

Do devotees suffer karmic reactions?

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Do Devotees Suffer Karmic Reactions? August 27 2025 Krishna tells us in the Bhagavad-gita that when we surrender unto Him, He frees us from all sinful reactions. Yet, we also hear that sometimes devotees still undergo a minimized or token reaction for past misdeeds. How are we to understand this seemingly contradictory situation? This is compared to a fan. When the fan is switched off the blades continue to turn for some, but very soon they will become a complete stop.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. Here's How to Make Our Lives Perfect August 25 2025 Again and again Srila Prabhupada has quoted (Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.23) in his teachings: yasya deve parā bhaktir yathā deve tathā gurau tasyaite kathitā hy arthāḥ prakāśante mahātmanaḥ [Śvetāśvatara Upaniṣad 6.23] To those who have unflinching faith in the Supreme Personality of Godhead and equal faith in the spiritual master, the essence of all Vedic knowledge is revealed. So let us take this injunction seriously by having complete in Krishna and the bonafide spiritual master. In this way our lives will be perfect.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you We Are Returning to the Holy Land of India August 24 2025 Regarding India Srila Prabhupada writes: Everyone who happens to take his birth in India is a potential benefactor of others, because it is on Indian soil alone that the culture of transcendental knowledge has been most elaborately presented, from ancient times to the present. The saints and sages of Bharata-varsa, as India has long been known, never tried to cultivate or satisfy artificially the needs of the body and the mind exclusively; they always cultured the transcendental spirit soul, which is above the material body and mind. And even now, the saints and sages continue to do so, in spite of all difficulties. We are very happy that we are returning to the holy...

The Acharya is Undaunted in His Determination August 22 2025 The acharya is undaunted in his determination to deliver all the fallen souls of this material world back to home, back to Godhead. No matter how many obstacles he faces he never loses his enthusiasm for pushing for the sankirtan movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Therefore if we are intelligent, we will take shelter of the lotus feet of an acharya, a bona fide, spiritual master. This will indeed be the perfection of our existence.

What Happens if One Rejects His Spiritual Master August 21 2025 Sometimes we see that someone does not like the instructions that they received from their spiritual and they therefore reject their spiritual master and accept a different master whose instructions they like better. What is the fate of such a person?Here's what Srila Prabhupada says about such a person who greatly displeases their spiritual master: If he displeases Kṛṣṇa's representative, he has no entrance to the Kṛṣṇa's kingdom, however learned he may be or whatever he may be. Immediately rejected. And in this connection, we may then question what is the fate of a spiritual master who persuades the disciple of another spiritual master to reject...

This an accurate description of life in this material world. Since our nature is to enjoy if we suffer long enough we will start to imagine that our suffering is enjoyment. So let us not suffer any more. Let is come to Krishna consciousness, the platform of real enjoyment.

When going gets tough, the tough get going

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you. When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Going August 19 2025 In Bhagavad-gita 18.58 Lord Krishna says: mac-cittaḥ sarva-durgāṇi mat-prasādāt tariṣyasi atha cet tvam ahaṅkārān na śroṣyasi vinaṅkṣyasi If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost. So if we want to be strong or tough enough to defeat all obstacles all we have to do is to be Krishna conscious. It's as simple as that. Now we just have to do that, and this will make our lives unlimitedly sublime. Nothing will be able to stand in our way. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Krishna Consciousness Takes Over ...
