All striving is doing is WEARING you out, MAKING you feel overwhelmed; can’t sleep at night, have digestive problems. Take the pressure OFF. It’s not your job to FIX everything. You can’t MAKE people do what’s right, MAKE your co-worker like you, MAKE your business grow. Your job is to be your best each day, […]

Srila Prabhupada How Can We Repay O! Srila Prabhupada, You crossed the rough seas during your life’s twilight, To bring living entities out of their material plight. A spiritual formula you took to one and all, How can we repay this infinite debt, if at all ? O! Srila Prabhupada, You made the Jaladuta and […]

(Verse 1) Yo, a fire sacrifice, ghee flowing free, Agni consumed it all, for all eyes to see. But too much buttery offerings, an overload, Left the fire god aching, in a heavy, bloated mode. Indigestion fierce, his brilliance declined, Only one curative came to his mind. (Verse 2) The Khandava forest, with herbs potent […]

Krishna had all that and more planned for us since the beginning of time. He had the steppingstones all lined up before we were born. We simply had to take our tiny steps of faith before our dreams became reality. In a purport to the BG 11/34 Prabhupada says, “The plans of the SPOG are […]

(Verse 2) Karna looks at Krishna, wisdom in his gaze, “You know everything, through all of time’s maze. The destruction is coming, I see it so plain, With Duryodhana, Shakuni, fueling the pain. Dushasana beside them, their wicked intent, And I, caught in the middle, on ruin I’m bent. I dreamt of the Pandavas, victorious […]

(Chorus) Wrong friendship’s a prison, with walls strong and high, Blinding your vision, beneath a false sky. Like Karna and Duryodhana, a bond built on pride, Ignoring the wisdom that truth can provide. Krishna’s own counsel, a lifeline so clear, But loyalty’s chains held him captive in fear.

(Verse 1) Krishna chuckles softly, a knowing sound in the air, “So Karna, my friend, you don’t wish to take care Of the earth as it should be, with righteousness bright? The Pandavas’ victory will soon take its flight. Mark my words closely, when battle’s harsh call, Brings five mighty brothers to stand strong and […]

Yo, Hare Krishna. Story ’bout a saint, pure and true. Haridas Thakur, name you should know, Chanting Hare Krishna, watch his devotion grow. Living in a cave, humble and deep, Twenty-two hours chanting, while others would sleep. Sharing that space, a slithering friend, A venomous snake, right there ’til the end… or so it seemed! […]

The lotus feet of our spiritual master are the only way by which we can attain pure devotional service. I bow to his lotus feet with great awe and reverence. By his grace one can cross the ocean of material suffering and obtain the mercy of Krsna.

KRISHNA loves to choose the underdog, the least likely, the ones others write off. It’s so important that you don’t let how other people treat you determine your value. Don’t let what THEY SAY determine your self-worth. THEY may not believe in you. THEY may see you as LESS THAN. THEY may say things that […]
