Dear All,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

We have become a part of ISKCON with a purpose, a goal. Of course main goal is to go back to Godhead by sincere practice of devotional service, especially chanting. BUT in spite of knowing how many people were protected just by chanting intentionally or unintentionally, we somehow, still take chanting not so seriously. One symptom that proves that we are not serious about…

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada instructed his followers and disciples to use our intelligence to reach out to people from different aspects of life and create ways for them to become involved with devotional service. Our society has evolved over the years, in that we have become less of a temple based…

Dear all, I beg your blessings for me to be Krishna conscious.

Most of us parents, even devotees, knowing importance of tolerance, still sometimes end up NOT tolerating our kids, many times. Parents sometimes may yell at their kids while they are going to miss their school bus or when their kids don't understand  maths sum for the fifth time that they are teaching just two days before the exam or may yell for their 89 marks out of 100...etc. But at least devotee parents should think…

My dear most precious vaishnavis and vaishnavas on this earth,

By the mercy of my Guru, I got my mentor HG Sukirti Madhavi DD mataji. Through the blessings of Guru flowing through my mentor, I am learning to be happier during the difficult situations.

At every step my mentor used to only show, my fault to me. She saw everything right in those whom I thought were my offenders. Now I know our Gurumaharaj never sees any fault in others but always,.. only blames…

Hare Krishna,

Dandavat Pranam. I got my opportunity to preach to my school class mates being part of what's app where almost (well almost) all of my class mates are members. I was delighted and so thought that I should share this here.

The background is the rememberance by a friend of a friend who passed away very young many years back and a trigger of exchanges. one of which was by another friend which was the trigger for my getting into the conversation.

Friend…

How did you hear of Guru Maharaj? 

I had come on a holiday to Mumbai from the Middle east in 1988 and was very eager to find a Guru.Up until then, my association with ISKCON was mainly through Srila Prabhupada's books. I requested the then Juhu Temple President Mandapa das to help me. He suggested that since we were going to Bangalore, we…
