• There are three general degrees of spiritual well-being:

• To baptize with fire is to worship in the spirit. We are able to worship in the spirit because we are identical to that flaming spirit.

Devotee comment: Here is what I believe to be the issue in a nutshell: If we are to cooperate with Srila Prabhupada, this entails that we also serve not just his final order, but the essence of his mission. That essence can be summed up simply as spreading the glories of the Holy Name, and dispelling nescience. In order to dispell nescience we must have a firm grounding in Truth, since they are mutually exclusive. Once we are grounded in Truth (Srila Prabhupada's instructions), this…

Krishna Devotee comment about a Sri Ravishankar video I uploaded where he lovingly glorified Srila Prabhupada:

I appreciate you uploading/finding the video of this Sri Sri Ravishankar( Contemporary famous yogi in India). I met him once and even gave him a science of self-realization. He accepted it graciously…

230: Am Got up and chanted before our class. Very powerful today. Yesterday I spent a lot of time relishing the deep words of Bhaktivinode thakur in Sri Krishna Smitha and his Caitanya Shikshamrita. Felt so blissful chanting and being in the embrace of the Thakur. I could understand more the meaning of keeping company with the spiritual master and doing devotional service instead of being intimate with others of another caliber. His realizations are so deep. Just…

consciousness movement explains that Jesus is Krishna's representative, son of God, and spiritual master.

Below are excerpts from Srila Prabhupada's books, lectures, and conversations about Jesus Christ and his

relationship with…

Note# Bhaktivinode Thakur said" it is the duty of all Vaishnavas to root out the anartas in their own disciplic succession". Sri Krishna Samitha. Therefore in the right spirit, following in his footsteps, without compromise, and with unwillingness we point out what nasty things are hidden in the closet of our Sampradaya at this time even though it appears as unpalatable as vinegar. I only do this because Srila Prabhupada has made me aware and put me personally through many situations and…

Jesus said the essence of sin is unbelief in Him who is one of the most exalted Vaishnavas ever to grace this planet. We can expand this meaning now that Srila Prabhupada came and revealed how deep this rabbit hole goes. We learned from Srila Prabhupada that the Supreme Lord also on occasion (unless he comes himself and brings many devotees) sends other pure Vaishnavas to assist us in understanding more about the Kingdom of God. They also naturally have a deep intimate relationship with God…

"TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

The picture was purportedly taken of Hanuman in a cave at Manasarovar Lake (Kailash) in the Himalayas during 1998 summer. When on Sunday the 9th May, 1999, I saw this strange picture of Hanuman reading the Ramayana, in the house of Sri V. Srinivasan at Rohini in North-West Delhi, I was awe-struck. I had never seen this picture…
