It is written by a real person who truly cares about you What to Do When Everything Goes Wrong? September 28, 2025 When Krishna shows special mercy to His devotee He arranges that his material situation becomes completely devastated. This is His special arrangement to help His devotee fully realize that he has no shelter in this material world, that His only shelter is at the lotus feet of guru and Krishna. This is confirmed as follows in Srimad Bhagavatam, Tenth Canto, Chapter 88, Text 8: yasyāham anugṛhṇāmi hariṣye tad-dhanaṁ śanaiḥ tato 'dhanaṁ tyajanty asya svajanā duḥkha-duḥkhitam The Personality of Godhead said: If I especially favor someone, I gradually deprive him of his wealth. Then the relatives and friends of such a poverty-stricken man abandon him. In this way he ...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Krishna's Devotee is Always Daring and Active September 27, 2025 In his purport to Bhagavad-gita 2:56 Srila Prabhupada describes how Krishna's devotee is daring and active. He is called praśānta-niḥśeṣa-mano-rathāntara (Stotra-ratna 43), or one who has surpassed the stage of mental speculations and has come to the conclusion that Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, or Vāsudeva, is everything (vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā su-durlabhaḥ). He is called a muni fixed in mind. Such a fully Kṛṣṇa conscious person is not at all disturbed by the onslaughts of the threefold miseries, for he accepts all miseries as the mercy of the Lord, thinking himself only worthy of more trouble due to his past misdeeds; and he sees that his miseries, by the...

The night before in Austin, we had breezed through security without the slightest delay, but London was a different story. All of our carry-on luggage went through without any problem—except for my computer bag. The agent asked me to open my laptop computer so that each item inside could be analyzed separately with a special detection device to make sure nothing was dangerous. He even used that device to scan my copy of The Nectar of Devotion to ensure it wasn’t a bomb. I couldn’t h...

But in Goloka Vrindavan the flowers are eternally beautiful and fragrant. This is confirmed in the following verse and purport from the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.15: matta-dvirepha-kalayā parītaṁ vana-mālayā parārdhya-hāra-valaya- kirīṭāṅgada-nūpuram He (Krishna) also wears around His neck a garland of attractive sylvan flowers, and a swarm of bees, intoxicated by its delicious fragrance, hums about the garland. He is further superbly adorned wi...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Here's the 8th Wonder of the World September 23, 2025 We often hear about the seven wonders of the world. But In a Srimad Bhagavatam purport Srila Prabhupada reveals us to what is the eighth wonder of the world: Yamarāja once asked Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira, "What is the most wonderful thing within this world?" Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira replied (Mahābhārata, Vana-parva 313.116): ahany ahani bhūtāni gacchantīha yamālayam śeṣāḥ sthāvaram icchanti kim āścaryam ataḥ param Hundreds and thousands of living entities meet death at every moment, but a foolish living being nonetheless thinks himself deathless and does not prepare for death. This is the most wonderful thing in this world. So let us not be deluded into thinking th...

Here is one example from The Nectar of Devotion: One of the friends of Mother Yaśodā said, "Yaśodā, just see the fun! On the one hand, there is your child, who is always captivated by sucking the milk from your breast, and on the other hand there is the great Govardhana Hill, which can obstruct the passing of the clouds. But still, just see how wonderful it is that this great Govardhana Hill is resting on the finger of your child's left hand, just as though it were a toy. Is this not very mysterious?" This statement is another example of astonishment in devotional service by dire...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Topics About Krishna Are Unlimitedly Nectarean September 21, 2025 Everyone likes to talk about something. There are so many things to talk about here in this limited material world. So-and-so did this or said this, so-and-so did that or said that, etc., etc. But when we discuss these mundane topics we are just like croaking toads inviting the snake of death to come and eat us. However, since the spiritual world is unlimited, when we choose to talk about Krishna there are unlimited wonderful things to discuss. Thus the topics of Krishna never become hackneyed, boring, or old. They are ever-fresh. This is why the devotees very much love to engage in talking about Krishna. In this regard Lord Krishna explains as follows in Bha...

September 19, 2025 In his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, First Canto, Chapter 11, Verse 19 Srila Prabhupada describes how a prostitute can become a siksha guru. Śrī Bilvamaṅgala Ṭhākura, a great ācārya of the Viṣṇu Svāmī Vaiṣṇava sect, in his householder life was overly attached to a prostitute who happened to be a devotee of the Lord. One night when the Ṭhākura came to Cintāmaṇi's house in torrents of rain and thunder, Cintāmaṇi was astonished to see how the Ṭhākura could come on such a dreadful night after crossing a foaming river which was full of waves. She said to Ṭhākura Bilvamaṅgala that his attraction for the flesh and bone of an insignificant woman like her would be properly utilized ...
