There, shining like millions of suns, appeared Lord Narayana, descending on his bird carrier Garuda and Lord Brahma began to pray, “Lord Narayana! This demon raksasa, Ravana, is causing so much distress. You are the only one that can annihilate him.” And Lord Vishnu explained that, “I will soon come. I will appear as the four sons of Dasaratha and Ravana will be killed.” And after confirming the f...

But every one of you in this room is able to chant the name of Rama, correct? Repeat after me, Rama! Everyone! Raise your hands up if you cannot chant the name of Rama.

He was trying, Narada Muni was saying, “Rama, Rama.” And he was just, he c...

But actually, does the Lord have to take birth himself to perform these three activities? He can do...

It is important in order for that association to be following in the footprints of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and his associates, each and every one of us has to take the responsibility to be that type of association.

When Srila Prabhupada came to America, he came to establish an entirely new frontier of preaching Gaudiya Viashnavism. No Gaudiya Vaishnava has ever been to America to establish this philosophy.

And because Srila Prabhupad saw this in him, such unconditional dedication, he personally trusted him in the most diff...

In Mayapur, Sripad Brahmanand prabhu, one of the senior most members of our society, with tears in his eyes, he told me the reason why Srila Prabhupad asked Tamal Krsna Goswami Maharaj to go to Mayapur, as Prabhupad knew that no one else in the whole world could do it, except him. Prabhupad gave him the money, he taught him how to tie, with piece of cloth like dhoti, to make like a money belt to a...

During that Pandal program on several occasions, Tamal Krishna Goswami who is then a house holder, he preached to me in various very creative ways, so creative, I couldn’t understand.

So, he went there and he saw the situation, how could anyone, there was like thousa...

When Srila Prabhupada saw how strict Los Angles temp...
