Saturday 17 July 2010– Devotees all over the world are lamenting the disappearance of one of ISKCON’s dearest devotees, Sriman Aindra Prabhu, who left his body this morning in his room at ISKCON’s Krishna Balarama temple in the sacred town of Vrindavan, India apparently due to an accidental gas leak. This great soul was the heart and soul of ISKCON Vrindavan’s 24 hour Hare Krishna kirtan, having re-established it in the 1980’s. To chant with him in Vrindavan was an exhilarating experience of blissful absorption in the unlimitedly sweet names of the Lord. He will be remembered with gratitude by all the devotees, especially those who had the good fortune to join with him in kirtan. Read the rest of this entry »

“The material world and its relationships are a reflection of God’s own Spiritual world and its spiritual relationships. He made man in His image and He made the material relationships as a type of reflection so that they can feel that if they want to become like God, it gives them opportunities to have apparently similar kinds of activities.
But in fact they are like the shadow, and Krishna’s activities are the original and pure. These are not real relationships. These are a play, a kind of toy dolls, which are given to people in the material world, so that they think, “Okay, I have my own world, I have my own Samsara, my own creation. This is my family, I have created my children, I have created my business”, and “my whatever” that they are able to create.
They can become a Brahma and create the whole universe; and ultimately see that everything is Krishna’s energy. When they surrender to Krishna – that is pure devotional service. Pure devotional service means to do that is pleasing to Krishna.”
HH Jayapataka SwamiQuestions and answers by HG Sankarshan das Adhikari
If God is God as you said, divine and beyond attributes and names, why such obsession with the name Krishna? We could be spontaneously liberated if we keep God just God without creating an Avatar or give a name to God.
Answer: Because “Krishna” Best Describes Him
When we say that God is unlimited we are are not saying that He is beyond attributes and names. What we are instead saying is that God has unlimited attributes and names. If God is unlimited, He cannot be limited in any way. Read the rest of this entry »

Questions and answers by HG Sankarshan das Adhikari
I have one question, where I am little bit confused. One devotee was telling me that everything is predestined. Krsna knows everything. He knows what we will choose, what we will do, how and when we will come back to him. So according to this philosophy, we are only observers and nothing more. Read the rest of this entry »

“To get vaccination from the sense gratification is to absorb in transcendental ecstasy. To do that we need to have a strong desire. In a few days, months, years, if you are determined and if somehow you could convince Lord Nityananda, “I don’t have any other desire but to get back to You. You should please give me that little drop of mercy.” Read the rest of this entry »
