Srila Prabhupad .... Simply Wonderful
Srila Prabhupad " I am like a Cow wherever you take i shall give milk"
(prabhupad listening to his own tapes)?? ......" Because i didnot speak it "
"I have captured Krishna I am holding it for you ,you come take it "
I am Insignificant .......
Srila Prabhupad " ..... There is one temple commander & he thinks he is very important "
nonsense of bodily consciousness
Srila Prabhupad "Some one is thinking that you are the body & if you are disturbed
thinking that someone is thinking that you are a body then you are also NONSENSE"
Bodily consciousness is there but if i am getting distracted by then that is my nonsense.
Servant of the Servant
Srila Prabhupad "You name is Bhakta das which means you are the servant of devotees
The more you think as a servant the more you will Advance in spiritual life
The more you think yourself as master , the faster you will go to HELL."

Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram ......
Lord Ram & his story
Dear all,
Wish you all a very Happy Ram Navami
The great sage Sukadeva explains: "Lord Ramachandra's spotless name and fame, which vanquish all sinful reactions, are celebrated in all directions ... all the saintly kings and all the demigods, including Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma, worship the Lord by bowing down with their helmets. Let me offer my obeisances unto His lotus feet."
Jai sri ram
"/Probably no other work of world literature has produced so profound an
influence in the life and thought of a people as the Ramayana/."

Conflict ..... Good or Bad?
it is natural that when two or more people are working together .There are Conflicts
Severe disagreements & this leads to a lot of misunderstanding , strain , stress in the relationship between team members. The team can be of simply friends, wife & husband, teams in company or in parliaments etc.
There will be conflicts due to personalism
everyone is a person so everyone shall have a different approach , idea ,feelings, emotions
Recently in my team we were having conflicts & i found that it served to improve our relationship
Conflict in its Own is not good or BAD! but what we do out of it?
how we look at it ?
How we try resolve it is the Great Question ?
If we depart just because of petty differences we would simply screw the whole project
But if we take this as an opportunity to understand each other , to understand each others needs
, each others concerns, each others limitations we shall be able to work Happily
& with mutual respect,understanding & love thus adding to the health of the Project .
So i see this as an OPPORTUNITY to understand each other & respect each other
& resolve this conflict by Putting Higher principle of Krishna Consciousness & Service to guru & Vaishnavas before us & try to Love each other with ALL their FAULTS.
This is what it means to co-operate
if we had same like mindedness we would be just ONE.
But because we have differences we have to Co-operate & become ONE in purpose , in Aim , in Goal
Prabhupad said, "You will show your LOVE to me by how much you cooperate with each other"
This higher principle if kept before us then all conflicts can be resolved
thus we TOO resolved the conflict aroused in my team......................................

Donot critize or praise materialistic people
In this world we spend hundreds of gallons of blood to bring a person out of the clutches of maya
Today at 8:34pm
Once some devotees were sent to establish a preaching center in Bengal. They worked day and night, equipping it as a beautiful temple. When Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati arrived to install the Deities, he was very pleased and asked about one brahmacari who had worked hard on the preparations.
The disciples told him, "Master, he became entangled with a lady. We rebuked him so much for his behavior that he fled from this place."
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta replied, "I don't want to establish a preaching center here, nor do I want to install the Deities. In this world we spend hundreds of gallons of blood to bring a person out of the clutches of maya. If that person make some mistake, it will be washed away by his serving Hari, Guru, and Vaishnavas, but you have chastised him and he has gone away. I don't want to make a center here. Search for him and bring him to me; otherwise I will go away.
The anxious disciples began to search for that brahmacari. Madhava Maharaja, who at that time was name Hayagriva Brahmacari, found the errant brahmacari, apologized, and asked him to return.
The brahmacari wept, saying, "I was serving here, in a watch company, but I was not really happy. I wanted to return, but I was thinking, 'How can I show my face?' So I did not return." He at once went running ad weeping to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, thinking him more merciful than Krishna Himself, and all his anarthas were washed away in a moment.
Bhaktisiddhanta told his disciples, "The purport is that we should not criticize anyone, whether a devotee or a worldly person." Then he quoted a sloka:
"The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: 'One should neither praise nor criticize the conditioned nature and activities of other persons. Rather, one should see this world as simply the combination of material nature and the enjoying souls, all based on the Absolute Truth. Whoever indulges in praising or criticizing the qualities and behavior of others will quickly become deviated from his own best interest by his entanglement in illusory dualities." Srimad Bhagavatam (11.28.1-2)
Bhaktisiddhanta continued: "To bring a person from the clutches of maya is very, very hard. If lust or any other attachment is present in that person's heart it will go away very soon, if he is chanting and remembering and listening to Hari-katha. Be very careful. Don't criticize devotees or non-devotees. First look at your own condition, and try to purify yourself. Is there any lust in you? Is there any kutinati (deceit) in you, or not? Be worried for that; don't worry for others. Sri Guru and Lord Sri Krsna are responsible for others. You cannot do anything to help them, so you have no right to criticize."
The disciples told him, "Master, he became entangled with a lady. We rebuked him so much for his behavior that he fled from this place."
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta replied, "I don't want to establish a preaching center here, nor do I want to install the Deities.

Yoga Dogs
The YOGA Dogs in the picture say"""
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We do Yoga to become expert in eating sleeping mating & defending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yoga is not done to remain Dogs but to alleviate oneself from the animal life to spiritual life
life of spirit ......
but in todays world Yogic asanas are used as a medium to improve the eating sleeping mating & defending so then there lies no difference between Animals & human beings
as said in the MahaBharayta below
ahara-nidra-bhaya-maithunam cha,
samanyam etad pashubhir naranam
dharmo hi tesham adhiko vishesho,
dharmena hina pashubhih samanah
“The activities of eating, sleeping, mating and defending are
common in animals and human beings. The human beings are
considered superior only when they inquire about the Absolute Truth,
otherwise they are considered as good as animals.”
