Chaitanya Charan Das: The world features many attractive things that we clamor and labor to enjoy. Yet their beauty doesn’t last for long. Even while it lasts, their charm dwindles with time, leaving us disappointed.
Is our longing for pleasure meant to be permanently thwarted?
No, asserts Gita wisdom – provided we understand the point of the world: Krishna.
The Bhagavad-gita (10.41) explains that all attractive objects manifest a spark o...

Here is an example: It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon, I was just chanting behind the book table and this wonderful lady walked up to me and greeted me with great enthusiasm. She walked up to me and said, “now I’m ready.” Seeing me confused she explained how she is ready to take home the Bhagavatam set today. A...

Why Prabhupada is smiling?
Hari-sauri das: June 5th 1976 - Los Angeles: One exhibit in particular is truly wonderful – that of Srila Prabhupada himself sitting at his writing desk in his Radha-Damodara room in Vrndavana. Made by Locana dasa, the exhibit will be designed so that the head of the diorama slowly looks up as the rays of the rising sun fill the room. Srila Prabhupada had not been informed that his figure actually moved. As he approached it the devotees switched on the mechanism causing the head to look up just as Prabhupada reached it...

Whatever your duty, if you are executing the will of God, you will be protected.
HH Radhanath Swami: In America motherhood is considered old-fashioned. People are ashamed to be mothers. Women are taught to be professionals. Child care is given to other professionals, and thus children miss out on the love of a mother and have so many psychological difficulties. In America, 68% of couples get divorced. Of the parents of my friends I grew up with, my mother and father are the only couple that stayed together.
