The Yoga of Construction and Community.
Madhavananda das: Once there was an expert carpenter who had spent his entire life building houses for other people. When he informed his boss that he planned on retiring, he was requested to complete just one last home. The carpenter reluctantly agreed. Eager to finish the job, he worked quickly and did not put his heart into the work. Consequently the quality of the construction was very poor.
When he informed his boss that the house was finished, to his surprise he was told, “Actually, this house is ...

Satsvarupa dasa Goswami: The Wealth of Prabhupada’s Lectures.
A devotee can sustain his spiritual life by hearing Prabhupada’s lectures. They are not intended as background noise. We should listen to Prabhupada lecture tapes with the same attention we would have if Prabhupada were personally in the room. To ignore Prabhupada is an offense.
There are always times throughout the day when we can listen to at least part of a lecture. In the old Christian monasteries, the monks...

Iskcon Tribal Preaching Programme.
-Mahaprabhu told “Grihe thako vane thako sada Hari bole dako” Srila Prabhupada also had that dream which is a success in so many towns, but now only by his blessings a dream to make a difference in the lives of the tribal people of India is coming true.
These tribal people are simple but with a great sense of intimacy with Mother Nature and thus they can easily personally get close to God if shown the right path.
They are, like everyone else, clearly falling prey to the ways of the modern world and...

Satsvarupa dasa Goswami: Prabhupada Gave At All Levels.
The mixture of basic and advanced Krishna consciousness appears constantly in Prabhupada’s purports. In his Bhagavatam purports, he does not always stick to a storyline. In his explanation of the verses, he feels free to lecture in each particular purport, expanding on the themes in different directions. There may be an occasion when one wants to read only the verses as translated by Prabhupada or his followers, in order to get...

One very special feature of the village people is their self-sufficiency in the growth of vegetables. Here almost everybody grows their ...

Is sincerity based on our past karma?
Question: Is sincerity based on our past karma, our circumstances as the living entities traveling through different bodies and certain situations?
Answer by Radhanath Swami: Certainly our present condition is deeply influenced by our past karma and whatever sincerity we have is due to how we have cultivated in the past but most important is that we have free choice now. And what we do with that free choice determines how this seed of the devotion and the sincerity required to nourish that seed of devotion devel...

January 26. ISKCON 50 – S.Prabhupada Daily Meditations.
Satsvarupa dasa Goswami: Prabhupada’s Heart. The gift of an artist is his ability to feel something with love and then convey it in an interesting way. The art should infect others with the exact same sentiment that the artist felt. A God-conscious teacher is able to do that, too. He has love of God, and he has the gift of conveying it. It was Lord Caitanya’s desire to convey Krishna-prema by chanting Hare Krishna. Prabhupada was empowered to do that – to chant Hare Krishna ...
