It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Does Everything Come from Nothing? November 25, 2025 Our atheist friends want us to believe that everything has come from nothing, that there is no God. But when we ask them to show us even one thing that has come from nothing they are baffled. All around us we see that things have come from something, that came from something, that came from something, etc. If we trace this chain of cause and effect back to the original cause that did not have a cause we have found God, the cause of all causes. At this point our atheist friends may propose an infinite chain of causality with no God. But what they fail to understand due to their clouded brains is that there still has to be a causeless cause to spark off a chain reaction....

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you What Should Be the Attitude of All Preachers? November 24, 2025 In The Nectar of Devotion Srila Prabhupada quotes from Srila Rupa Goswami what should be the attitude of all preachers: The author of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, very humbly submits that he is just trying to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, although he humbly thinks himself unfit for this work. That should be the attitude of all preachers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, following in the footsteps of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. We should never think of ourselves as great preachers, but should always consider that we are simply instrumental to the previous ācāryas, and simply by following in their footsteps we may be able to do somethin...

Krishna confirms this is in Bhagavad-gītā 18.66 sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ ““Give up all varieties of duties (dharmas) and simply surrender unto Me. I will free you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.” What are these duties, obligations? In material life, a person has many duties: • obligations to family • obligations to society • obligations to the state • obligations to teachers • obligations to demigods • obligations to forefathers • obligations to all living beings The Vedas describe that a perso...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you The Diksha Guru is Our Final Authority November 21, 2025 In ISKCON we are blessed with many preachers who serve as śikṣā-gurus—instructing gurus who guide us on our pathway back home, back to Godhead. They inspire us to fully surrender ourselves to a dīkṣā-guru, an initiating spiritual master, who initiates us and takes full responsibility to take us back to the spiritual world even if he has to take birth after birth to do so. This dīkṣā-guru becomes our final authority. To him we fully surrender ourselves. We still accept the guidance of our śikṣā-gurus, for they help us become perfect in our surrender to our dīkṣā-guru. As a rule the śikṣā-guru’s instructions will always harmonize with the dīkṣā-guru’s instructions. Howe...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Srila Prabhupada is India's Greatest Hero November 20, 2025 Lord Sri Krishna most rightly declares in the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 18, Texts 68-69: 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. There is no servant in this world more dear to Me than he, nor will there ever be one more dear.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you There is Nothing Sweeter than This November 19, 2025 Today I must share with you this most wonderful verse and purport from the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 7, Text 22: punaḥ punaḥ piyāiyā haya mahāmatta nāce, kānde, hāse, gāya, yaiche mada-matta Śrī Panca-tattva themselves danced again and again and thus made it easier to drink nectarean love of Godhead. They danced, cried, laughed and chanted like madmen, and in this way they distributed love of Godhead. PURPORT People generally cannot understand the actual meaning of chanting and dancing. Describing the Gosvāmīs, Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya stated, kṛṣṇotkīrtana-gāna-nartana-parau: not only did Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and His associates demonstrate this chantin...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you How I Found the Perfect Career November 18, 2025 It was 1968. I was a top-level college student. Every college student decides what his career will be and studies the appropriate courses. After a friend introduced me to chanting Hare Krishna and I started relishing the topmost nectar of worshipping Krishna, my career choice was realized. I was to deny everything of this material world and become a holy beggar in India. However, on the way to India I realized that denying everything includes denying denial itself. It was then and there that I decided that instead of renouncing the world I would revolutionize the world. I would dedicate my life fully to sparking off a global spiritual revolution to deliver the world from chao...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Do Not Be Whimsical-Always Be Intelligent November 17, 2025 Sometimes, and way too often, we foolishly and stupidly think, speak, or act whimsically, pulled by our senses, instead of using our intelligence—our power of discrimination—to do what we know in our heart is actually best for us. This habit has haunted us for millions of births, and thus is why we are still caught up in the cycle of birth and death. Thus, we should now stop this whimsical dancing monkey tendency and use or God-given intelligence to think, speak, and act in ways that are beneficial for us. In this way we will put a stop to all of our miseries and enter into a most sublime transcendental paradise in which we serve Krishna eternally with pure love ...

In other words it is the purest, highest, most essential truth or substance behind everything that exists. It no longer has to remain a mystery for us because Lord Caitanya has broken into the storehouse of braja-rasa and is now through the Krishna consciousness movement flooding the whole material world with this nectarean ocean of pure love of God..

November 15, 2025 Recently one of my disciples just lost his job because of AI, artificial intelligence. In this connection my Godbrother, Gargamuni Prabhu, has written: I saw this in a German newspaper. A robot that looks like a lady enters an office and tells an employee, “Sir, you have been replaced. I can do the work of ten people and so you are no longer needed.” The employee said, “Where will I go? What will I do?” The robot said, “That’s up to you. There is no more need for you here.” So what to do in a world where artificial intelligence and robots are gradually taking over everything? The simple answer is self-sufficent farming. My disciples, Nitai Candra and Gaura Candra a...

It was amazing experience to be by the Yamuna out in the country side where there were no signs of the Kali Yuga on either side of the river. In that most sacred spot I was remembering the beautiful bhajan by Bhaktivinode Thakur that Srila Prabhupada taught us to sing every day: jaya rādhā-mādhava kuñja-bihārī gopī-jana-vallabha giri-vara-dhārī jaśodā-nandana, braja-jana-rañjana, jāmuna-tīra-vana-cārī All glories to Rādhā and Mādhava (Krishna), who enjoy loving pastimes in the groves of Vṛndāvana. Krishna is the beloved of the gop...

Seeing this stick caused Mother Yasoda the most intense pain. Trying to imagine what she was feeling can make us also feel very sad. Such feelings of sadness are a great blessing on the pathway of self realization. They facilitate our entering into the dimension of transcendental bliss far beyond all the sufferings of material existence. Here's what Srila Prabhupada has written in The Nectar of Devotion: One friend of Kṛṣṇa's addressed Him thus: "My dear lotus-eyed one, when You were living in Gokula You were always bearing a stick in Your hand. That stick is ...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you I Visited Sankarshan Kunda by Govardhana Hill November 12, 2025 Since I am staying at Sri Rupa Seva Kunja, a mere ten or fifteen minute walk from Govardhan Hill, I decided on 11 November to take full advantage of my location as Krishna's special mercy (Govardhan Hill is His incarnation) and go for a transcendental stroll. Arriving at Govardhan I sang a beautiful bhajan by Narottama Das Thakur. Srila Prabhupada explained one of its verses as follows in a song class on January 5, 1969 in Los Angeles: Viṣaya chāḍiyā Āra kabe nitāi-cander koruṇā hoibe, saṁsāra-bāsanā mora kabe tuccha ha'be. Saṁsāra-bāsanā means the desire for material enjoyment. Saṁsāra-bāsanā mora kabe tuccha ha'be: "When my desire for mate...
