It is written by a real person who truly cares about you There is Nothing More Astonishing Than This December 31, 2025 We have all heard of the seven wonders of the world. But there is something far more astonishing than any of the world's wonders. Here it is: When Yamaraja asked Maharaj Yudhisthira what is the most astonishing thing the world Maharaja Yudhisthira replied: ahany ahani lokāni gacchanti yama-mandiram śeṣaḥ sthitam icchanti kim āścaryam ataḥ param At every moment countless number of living beings are dyng, being dragged to the court of Yamaraja. But those who are remaining think that they will live forever. There is truly nothing more astonishing than this. Our father has died. Our mother has died. Our sister has died. Our dog and parakeet have died. But stil...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Krishna Consciousness is the Supreme Pleasure December 29, 2025 In this material world sexual intercourse is the topmost pleasure. But this is the same pleasure enjoyed by the pigs, the monkeys and the crocodiles, etc. Thus as long as we remain the slaves of our genitals we remain on the animal platform caught up in the cycle of birth of death. If we are fortunate enough to be blessed by the mercy of a saintly person we can transcend the genital stimulation platform and come to the platform of the greatest pleasure, Krishna consciousness. This qualifies us that upon leaving our present material bodies we can enter the spiritual world, where the material miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease are conspicuous bh the...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Krishna Likes to Be Controlled by His Devotee December 28, 2025 Srila Prabhupada explained in a Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam lecture he gave on August 5, 1975 in Detroit, Michigan USA how Krishna likes to controlled by His devotee. Here's what he said: Kṛṣṇa is the supreme controller, but He is controlled by devotee. That is, Kṛṣṇa is bhakti-vatsala. Just like a big father, a high-court judge and...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you There Was Amazing Intimacy in ISKCON's Early Days December 27, 2025 Srila Prabhupada was so much of a loving father to his disciples that he affectionately said that this disciples were his mothers and fathers and that if they wanted to keep him a place he would never leave. When the devotees heard these words that Srila Prabhupada spoke to reporter in London they all cheered "Hari bol!" with great enthusiasm. In this mood of wanting to keep Srila Prabhupada from leaving, once in airport to keep Prabhupada from leaving to go to India, his disciple Jānakī mischievously stole the ticket and passport from Prabhupāda's hand. "Now you can't go," she said. "That's all right," he smi...

Eternally conditioned to eternally liberated

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 From Eternally Conditioned to Eternally Liberated December 26, 2025 We have read that the residents of the spiritual world are eternally liberated and that the residents of the material world are eternally conditioned. When we consider that the eternally conditioned can become eternally liberated by going back to Godhead it certainly appears to be illogical. Doesn't it? What happens is that when the conditioned soul arrives back to Godhead it is before he ever left. So in effect he never really left. One might ask: How can is it possible that one go away from a place and arrive back at place before he ever left? But such inconceivable things are possible. Here is an example: On 23 December 2025 I left Melbourne, Austr...

Celebrating the appearance day of Jesus.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Christmas is Celebrating the Appearance Day of Jesus Christ December 25, 2025 It was December of 1970. I was 23 years old. I was a young hippie singer-songwriter on a mission to spark off a global spiritual revolution. But yet I knew I was still lacking spiritual realization. I expressed this in one of my songs: Everything is sacred no matter where I turn. Everything is sacred. I have so much to learn. I wanted to find God. I craved spiritual awakening. Wondering how to attain it, knowing that Jesus Christ is a fully awakened spiritual being, I scrutinizingly read the Bible, trying to figure out how he was situated in such an exalted state of divine consciousness. And then one day I found it! As stated in Luke 22.42 Jesus ...

Every day, the best day of your entire life.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Every Day is the Best Day of Your Entire Life December 24, 2025 There is a simple way to test if we are fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness. If every day, day after day, is the best day of our entire life we can understand that we have been blessed by the causeless mercy of guru and Krishna by entering into the sublime realm of full absorption in Krishna consciousness. This is not something artificial that I can think for a few days that I have attained this and then have a day which is miserable as hell, a total bummer. This is something to be genuinely experienced day after day, week after week, year after year by those who have been blessed with mature Krishna consciousness. It's alright if we are not there yet...

Ask not what Krishna can do for you.

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Ask Not What Krishna Can Do for You December 23, 2025 On January 20, 1961, during his inaugural address after being sworn in as President of the United States, in Washington, D.C. John F. Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." This is one of the most famous statements in American political history. This statement can be transcendentalized as follows: “Ask not what Krishna can do for you—ask what you can do for Krishna." To put it more specifically in the terms of the devotional service that Srila Prabhupada has engaged us in: “Ask not what ISKCON can do for you—ask what you can do for ISKCON." By such a serving mentality we can easily become pure devote...

Are you ever-increasingly happy?

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Are You Ever-Increasingly Happy? December 22, 2025 In this material world we experience happy and distress. Sometimes we are happy. Sometimes we are stressed out. But this is not actual happiness. This is called relative happiness. Relative happiness is not genuine happiness. Real happiness can only be tasted, experienced on the spiritual platform, the transcendental platform when we re-establish our lost loving relationship with Krishna. When we come to this platform, we will experience ever-increasing happiness at every moment for all of eternity. By seriously taking to the process of Krishna consciousness, it is sure and certain that someday we will achieve the platform of unadulterated, ever-increasing happiness. Sa...

It is written by a real person who truly cares about you Srila Prabhupada Very Much Encourages Me December 21, 2025 After being blessed with the Hare Krishna mantra in December of 1968 I embraced the career path of renouncing the world to become a holy beggar in India. But on the way to India I realized that the perfection of renunciation was to renounce renunciation and accept something transcendental. I wondered what that would be and then realized that I must embrace the world deliverance mission. Without any idea of what to do I set out my own to deliver the world from chaos. But then Krishna blessed me with a spiritual master who taught me exactly what to do. My beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, taught how to respiritualize the...
