Morning Walk Establishing the College of Vedic Science (MP3 Audio)


We have to present an ideal institution, not that we make compromise with everybody. That is not our business. We don’t want stars. We want moon. What is the use of millions of stars? Get one moon. That is sufficient. We can not expect everyone to become brahmana. That is not possible.   ...Read More

Many people can not understand why devotees worship Krishna in the form of the Deity. The Deity worship process is very mysterious. It is Krishna’s mercy for His devotees. Krishna agrees to appear in a form the devotees can see and serve with their material senses.   ...Read More

Prabhupada’s Vrndavana Krishna-Balarama Temple–How It All Began


Srila Prabhupada wanted to feature Krishna and Balarama because the area of Raman Reti where the temple was to stand was where Krishna and Balarama played as cowherd boys with Their friends. Raman Reti means enjoyable sands. There’s a nice park near the temple dedicated to Their dancing. It has an overwhelming feeling and is a wonderful place to chant Hare Krishna.   ...Read More

Maintaining the Routine Work

Filed under Letters, Temples


This routine work, such as chanting, speaking, rising early, cleaning, cooking and offering prasadam, arati, reading books–these activities are the backbone of our Society, and if we practice them nicely in a regulative manner, then our whole program will be successful. If we become slack or neglect these things, then everything else we may try will fail.   ...Read More

ISKCON Banglaore Peace Proposal

Filed under Guru, Temples


We have the desperate wish to work as part of a united worldwide ISKCON under a progressive GBC. We want the current GBC to see every one of our proposals in that light and respond so that court cases can all be ended. We are awaiting if the GBC body is serious about respectably welcoming our group as faithful Vaishnavas with some conviction, but not as deviant devotees being sheltered ‘mercifully’. The offer is there officially in writing. The demands in the offer are simple to understand.   ...Read More

Spirit From Stone–The Story of the Krishna-Balarama Deities of Vrndavana


About two A.M. I was awakened by a terrific uproar. All the peacocks in Vrndavana seemed to be trumpeting their piercing cries, producing waves of sound that swept across miles of holy land to the other side of town, echoing back and forth. I rose, dressed, and went outside to see what was going on. Lo and behold, the truck with Krishna and Balarama had pulled in!   ...Read More

So we had invited all groups, sects cults, parties to this Hari Nama kirtan gathering. But unfortunatley those who follow the iskcon line feel they cannot participate in congregational chanting to unite the whole world (including those who chant the Holy Names)-so they must have a SEPARATE party. This PARTY spirit is what Srila Prabhupada has stated will destroy HIS iskcon. If there is ONE thing that WILL unite us- it   ...Read More
