They have surrendered [laughs] to some extent to me; that is wonderful. Otherwise, there is no question of surrender. And our business is surrender. Unless you surrender fully, there is no progress.

Nrisimha Caturdasi + Kirtan Simha 2018 at Simhachalam, Iskcon Germany (Album with photos)
Srila Prabhupada: One’s natural tendency is to serve because a living entity is an eternal servant of God. The living entity wants to serve, but because of his forgetfulness of his relationship with the Supreme Lord, he serves under the modes of material nature and manufactures various modes of service, such as socialism, humanitarianism and altruism. However, one should be enlightened in the tenets of Bhagavad-gita and accept the instruction of the Supreme ...

Narasimha Caturdasi 2018 celebrated at Radhadesh (Album with photos)
Srila Prabhupada: Only fools are ungrateful to their benefactors. The Lord, however, does not require benefit from anyone besides Himself because He is full in Himself; still He feels benefited by the unalloyed services of His devotees. The Lord feels grateful to His devotees for such unsophisticated, unconditional service and tries to reciprocate it by rendering service, although the devotee also has no such desire in his heart. The transcendental service of the Lord is itself a tran...

Mohini Ekadasi Kirtan at Iskcon Nepal (Album of photos)
Srila Prabhupada: Caitanya Mahaprabhu is very practical, that “I want to give krsna-prema. One should be ecstatic, emotional in krsna-prema. One shall cry for Krsna.” And He taught everyone by His practical example how He was mad after Krsna. Govinda-virahena me. Sunyayitam jagat sarvam govinda-virahena me. This is krsna-prema: without Krsna, one should see everything vacant. This is Radharani’s prema. But that is not possible for ordinary human being. It might be possible for ...

Giriraj Swami: Today is Rukmini-dvadasi, the appearance day of Srimati Rukmini-devi.
“The beloved consorts of Lord Krishna are of three kinds: the goddesses of fortune, the queens, and the milkmaids of Vraja, who are the foremost of all. These consorts all proceed from Radhika.” (Cc Adi 4.74–75) Of all Krishna’s queens in Dvaraka, Rukmini-devi is the principal. Ultimately, she is an expansion of Srimati Radharani.
Many of Rukmini and Krishna’s pastimes are described in Srimad-Bhagavatam, and they are relishable and i...

Hiranyakasipu and Prahlad.
Kadamba Kanana Swami: Lord Brahma pushed Prahlad forward and said, “Well, He appeared because of you, so you go and pacify Him!” Well, it does not look very heroic when you shove a five year-old boy forward like, “You go and deal with Him!” (Laughter)
No, we should not take it in that way, we should see that Lord Brahma is most intelligent and therefore very deeply analysed the situation and also realized that Prahlad is not just a five-year-old boy, he is extremely powerful – nothing could...
