This ignorant smile trivializes and reduces, creating a false competition. It presents a distorted view by asserting that those who worship Shiva obtain material wealth while Krishna takes it away to give spiritual benefits. This dichotomy is artificial. Shiva is not primarily a donor of worldly opu... Read more

The photo says it all: Carnival

Who is Śrīla Prabhupāda?", people often ask, and this is always a difficult question to answer, since Śrīla Prabhupāda always eclipsed conventional designations. On various occasions, people have said that he was a scholar, a philosopher, a cultural ambassador, a prolific author, a religious leader,... Read more

He spoke like a scholar; his vocabulary was intricately intertwined with philosophical phrases and terms. Elegant gestures of his hands and animated facial expressions added considerable impact to his way of speaking. The topic was the most important I ever found: “I am not this body. I am not a Hin...

They have to use these new devotees who have known nothing more and everything seems incredible to them. They interview anyone who has known the movement in the 70s, 80s and even 90s, to see what the current state of ISKCON seems to them.

sphaida now the narrative, the audio, the inscruits and the inscruits are continuously presented to the public, the inscruits and the inscruits are directly compared to the inscruits and the inscruits are circulated as Terry Harold Conley: then the inscruits and the inscruits are self-proclaimed gua...

With brahmacaris like that... who needs degenerated karms.

There was a time, in the 60s and 70s, in which devotees like Vishnujana Maharaj were present at ISKCON. He accepted Śrīla Prabhupāda's sannyāsa and was famous for his deeply melodious and moving kīrtans. Before accepting sannyāsa, he was married. Subsequently, his wife insisted on speaking with him....

For those who believe that someone becomes devout and magically becomes transcendental, we have Mr. Kapiladev explaining the devotional service affected by their three modes of work that is generally practiced by most of us. That means that you can be going to mangala arotika, singing 16 rounds, eve... Read more

"First of all, we have to see who is going to talk about Kṛṣṇa. Is he a devotee of Kṛṣṇa? Is he vaiṣṇava or not? If not, reject immediately: "Oh, we will not listen to you." But people don't know. Any shamelessness that speaks about the Bhagavad-gītā is heard. That's not the process. Then you will m... Read more

Happy Birthday Manuel!

Yadunandana accompanies Hanumatpresaka Swami because, by not being anyone for himself, he hangs from his fame in the hope that someday that proximity will make him also known. It is known that Hanumatpresak Swami wishes that, when he is no longer (and there are already several times he has said he i... Read more

About fifteen meters from where I was, at the opposite end of an elongated and dark room, he was sitting in a small bowl, with his face and saffron clothes radiating under a small light. He was an old man — about sixty years old, I thought —, and he was sitting with his legs crossed, in a standing a... Read more

This is what I would like to say to you: “I am a monk of the Catholic tradition (Benedictine) but I don’t know if there is a more valuable help. Answer: God blesses me as there are different ways for different people, especially for St. Teresa, if she continues to study the hearts of St. Francis, an... Read more

From the very beginning, I knew that His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda was the most extraordinary person I’d ever known. The first encounter occurred in the summer of 1966, in New York City. A friend had invited me to hear a conference that would dictate “an ancient Hindu svāmī” i... Read more

George Harrison said that anyone who is not blind can see.

Interesting analogy 👇 Prabhupada is very merciful. God mercy and gave an opportunity to all kinds of fools of bad life, who after their disappearance lost all their pity, just as Arjuna lost all their power after the disappearance of Krishna. Arjuna could not even protect the queens of Krishna from ... Read more

"People give me credit: "Swamiji, you have done something wonderful. No one could do it." I am not a wonderful man. I do not know anything about magic either. I have presented the Bhagavad-gītā as it is. That's all. This is the secret. Anyone can do that. You present the thing as it is. Do not adult... Read more

Giriraj Swami is no longer "sick"? The medical report never appeared. He was never sick. Senile Dementia? Miracle!!! Now he appears with all his energy, participating in social activities. He took his hair to so many people, betraying his faith and confidence that he is a celebrity and free of sexua... Read more

The “web” of Jayadvaita Swami that some Prabhus made and that carries his book “improved”, as he did with the books of Srila Prabhupada.

It’s the one you can’t get to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know that you’ve got to know t...

According to material vision, our beloved spiritual master, guide and friend, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda died on November 14, 1977, but in reality is still present. As Śrīla Prabhupāda often pointed out, there are two ways to associate with the spiritual master: through his... Read more

Srprimayna purify teachings of devotees saying that even devotees have depression and do long posts advocating by methods of psychology.

"People in India respect the RSIs, in other countries they respect prophets like Muhammad, in other countries they respect Christ, and elsewhere the inhabitants respect various native wise men. It is imperative that people in the country properly respect native saints, but no one, even if they can m... Read more

"'He who understands the transcendental nature of Navadvīpa and its surroundings, where Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu performed His hobbies, always lives in Vṛndāvana.' Similarly, living in Jagannātha Purī is as good as living in Vṛndāvana. The conclusion is that Navadvīpa-dhāma, Jagannātha Purī-dhāma and... Read more

It is a shame how all the prestige and respect that the vaisnava community had for Srutakirti Prabhu, Srila Prabhupada’s personal servant and entertained storyteller of Srila Prabhupada, was lost due to the schizophrenic behavior of his very young wife, who assumed a critical attitude, making offens...

As white gentlemen repeatedly appear to complain about the criticisms on this page, we make this general post to refute it: "You assume that criticism is inherently bad and you attack us for doing so, but your own act of criticism (or prohibiting criticism) contradicts you directly.

One of the 5,000 changes to the Bhagavad Gita In Vrindavan, a Prabhu with the face of "I am so much" says: "And anyone at the end of life". In the original says "at the time of death". And this could go unnoticed if in the meaning there were no complete phrases added (see photos). It happens both in... Read more

Another example of how the bhakti yoga of the heart has passed to the bhakti yoga of the mind.This sympathetic and ignorant Prabhu says that we must learn the formulas of the mahajanas.
