    Grateful Devotion

    In the 16th chapter of Srimad Bhagavatam first canto, there is a conversation between personality of religion in the form of a bull and mother earth in the form of a cow. Mother earth in the form of a cow was agrieved because of the torture of Kali personified and in that state also she remembers so wonderfully the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

    We Are Being Watched

    We know that God is omnipresent and omni-potent. But still we indulge in  both good and bad activities in our day to day life. We should not be under the false conception that whatever bad things we are doing will be left unnoticed nor would our pious actvities nullify the effects of impious activities.

    Staying in the Mode of Goodness

    Dear Prabhujis and maathajis,

    Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev!

    All of us have the ultimate desire to go back to Godhead inspite of our present condition. It is like buying a lottery ticket and hoping to become a multimillionaire. Our endeavour is insignificant, but still, we expect the maximum result. But Krishna clearly states that if we want to reach His abode, we have to satisfy certain conditions as mentioned by Him in Bhagavad Gita 8.6

    Be Krishnacentric and Not Egocentric

    Every one of us, being a part and parcel of Supreme Lord have certain special qualities and are good at doing certain things.  We should always remember that whatever qualities we possess are bestowed by Him and should never become proud or start thinking that we could do everything alone.

    Taking Up Responsibility

    Studying Bhagavat-gita repeatedly brings out so many new ideas and realizations every time. I came across a very interesting point about the real meaning of responsibility while meditating on a couple of verses - one spoken by Arjuna and another by Lord Krishna on the same point but different point of views.

    Cleanliness leads to Purification

    Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Krishna is Param pavitram -Supreme Pure . So inorder to approach Him, we should be clean both inside and outside. While listing out the qualities of people with divine nature, Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita - "abhayam sattva sam-shuddi".
