Maharaja Bali was the grandson of the great devotee Prahlada who instilled in Bali, a strong sense of dharma, values and most importantly, devotional service to the Supreme Lord. With such an upbringing, Bali Maharaja grew up to be very pious, contrary to the expected behaviour of others in his asura (demonic) clan. His reign as the king of the asuras was characterised by peace, tranquillity and p...

After Lord Śiva drank all the poison, both the demigods and demons took courage and resumed their activities of churning. Because of this churning, first a surabhi cow was produced.

Thereafter, a horse named Uccaiḥśravā was generated. This horse was ta...

Having shrunk to the size of a mouse, Hanuman ran through Lanka, looking for Sita. He found her held captive in an ashok grove near Ravana's palace. She was guarded by hideous demonesses and harassed by Ravana, who wanted her to forget Rama, and marry him instead. She was sitting under a tree crying. Meanwhile Hanuman climbed the tree, dropped Rama's ring into her lap, and told her Rama will come...

Although Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is counted among the Purāṇas, it is called the spotless Purāṇa. Because it does not discuss anything material, it is liked by transcendental Vaiṣṇava devotees. The subject matter found in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is meant for paramahaṁsas.

The tragic and heroic figure of Queen Kunti emerges from an explosive era in the history of ancient India. As related in the Mahabharata, India's grand epic poem of 110,000 couplets, Kunti was the wife of King Pandu and the mother of five illustrious sons known as the Pandavas. As such, she was one of the central figures in a complex political drama that culminated fifty centuries ago in the Kuruk...

Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was a 15th-century Indian saint from Bengal. He was one of the all-time great saints of Hinduism. It will be unfair to describe him just as a great saint, he was in true sense a great social and religious reformer who single handedly brought a lot of changes in contemporary social and religious structure and re-introduced the " Bhakti Yoga " or the devotion cult which swe...

Our greatest problem is that we have turned away from Krishna. This one action has turned into our existential dilemma. We are lost servants. But strangely we think, at least unconsciously, that it is Krishna who has abandoned us. Only when we become eager to meet Krishna again, and serve Him with body, mind and heart – as eager as a drowning man is eager to breathe again – can we attain our spiri...

Srimad Bhagavatam is pre-eminently the book in India. Once enter into it and you are transplanted, as it were, into the spiritual world where gross matter has no existence.

Our initiati...

When Krishna does come to this material world, He comes as His Vishnu expansion who plays the role of Krishna in His original form, but this is really Krishna's Vishnu-tattva expansion.
