Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in his teachings to Rupa Goswami explains, ‘all the different kinds of dust and dirt that’s in the heart, the following of the four regulative principles are just a basic, basic understanding, criticizing, fault finding, all sorts of materialistic envious selfish things it’s always that we just poured dust and dirt back into our heart. It’s Krishna’s heart. It’s not o...

This is the type of nama sankirtan that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu presented to the world, Naam Sankirtan. It’s not just a performance, when we actually enter into the true mood of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his associates chanting and he’s inviting every single one of us into that spirit. tṛṇād api su-nīcena taror iva sahiṣṇunā amāninā māna-dena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ, when we are chanting in that...

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu understood that ratha yatra was coming in just two days. He called for Kashi Mishra, the superintendent of the temple and Sarvabhouma Bhattacharya. Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami explains it in this way, ‘he asked their permission if he and his devotees could clean the Gundicha temple to prepare for Jagannath’s arrival.’ This is Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s nature. He is asking...

So, he read Chaitanya Charitamrita again thoroughly and upon seeing how Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was utterly defeating in logic and argument on scriptural basis, the Vedantists in Bemaras. establishing Krishna as the supreme Godhead, the cause of all causes and explaining the completely pure transcendental nature of his pastimes, he pondered and mediated and prayed deeply on the teachings and merc...

But by the arrangement of the Lord, Bhaktivinod appeared in his youth to always be striving and searching for higher truths. He was educated in British schools and he became a great scholar and in his search for higher truths of life, spiritual realization, he deeply studied the Christian scriptures and developed great love for Lord Jesus and then he studied very deeply the Quran and had wonderful...

Bhagavad Gita is teaching us how we could always remain disentangled from the unlimited illusions and intricacies of material bondage, if we keep our mind fixed on this goal. Bhakti Vinod Thakur says in that prasadam prayer that the senses are a network of paths leading to death. The word ‘network’ is very interesting. What is the work of a net? That is network. The work of a net is to trap you. A...

Lord Nityananda Prabhu, who is freely distributing Krishna Prema through Krishna Naam and Bhaktivinoda Thakur explains in his beautiful song that the only price he was asking for this great treasure is our faith. There is nothing more precious than faith. And in the wrong association, Maya will steal that faith from our heart. We should protect our faith, with more attention than we protect our ba...

Kiran Bedi - 'Birthday Blessings with Radhanath Swami' on 09Jun21 by Radhanath Swami

This is the nature of the true associates of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Onetime Srila Prabhupada was in his beautiful luxurious quarters in Los Angeles and he told to one of his disciples, “Do you remember that little simple room I had in Radha Damodar?” he said “I long to go back there.” He said, “but that would be sense gratification because my Gurudev wants me here.” We must follow in the footsteps...

One must be humble like a blade of grass, grass we step on it, we spit on it, sometimes we do all other things on it. To be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant then a tree; ready to offer all respect to others and to expect none for ourselves, only in this consciousness and in no other consciousness can we constantly chant the holy name ‘kértanéyaù sadä hariù.’ And it is because Harid...

Prabhupada in his prayers on Jaladuta, he is praying for this power that I have no words. If You give me the words to speak then they will understand and Krishna gave him the words to speak.” Even people who could not even understand his words, their hearts were transformed just by the sound vibration, incredible. People surrendered to Krishna without even properly understanding Prabhupada’ words,...

Your life means, you have nothing else. Without life, what is the use of family, what is the wealth of wealth, what is the use of reputation, and what is the use of anything if you have no life? Life is the basis, to take the order of the spiritual master as one’s very life and soul. Soul is your eternal identity. That means we live only for that. Everything else in our existence is simply to faci...

Yoga is the science of cleansing the heart and tasting the joy of living in harmony with God, with all other living beings and with nature.” I said to this Minister that, “I can assure you that even if you clean every River and every ocean and every grain of ground and the whole sky, if it's not paralleled with cleansing the values in the human heart all this pollution will all come back again and...

Importance of Humility in the Life of Spiritual Practitioner by HH Radhanath Swami by Radhanath Swami

One Sanyasi, a very great Gaudiya Vaishnava was telling me, “That real opulence is renunciation. That is the highest opulence for a devotee.” He said “when you see a King with a crown and you see a Sanyasi with a danda, which is more opulent? The Sanyasi. This is real opulence. This is real beauty in the eyes of one who is transcendental in vision.” So, of course this does not necessarily mean tha...

So, in so many ways I was trying to find that through social exploration, through revolution, through counterculture and eventually I came to the conclusion that even the greatest people that I deeply respected on all levels, the foundation in which they were trying to change the world was from a spiritual ideal, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King and so many others. There was a spiritual basis th...

This is Sanskrit. It means “the supreme dharma or religion is to love God. That love must be to the degree it is unmotivated by any selfish egoism and uninterrupted by any circumstances they may come upon us. It actually satisfies the heart.” In my travels studying different faiths and so many other things, I found that in every spiritual tradition there are those who strongly believe and profess...

Krishna tells the peace formula, the easy process anyone can attain peace is just to understand three things that God or Krishna is the proprietor of everything. That means we are the caretakers of sacred property, to be used for a sacred purpose and everything is meant in the spirit of surface samsidhir hari toshinam, to harmonize our body, mind, words and life in such a way that were pleasing to...
