Sri Govinda Ghosh, an intimate associate of Lord Caitanya, was known for his sweet kirtans at the annual Jagannatha Puri Ratha- yatra festival.

I recall in 1987 when I was alone in Denmark preaching for 6 month or more , I was running this one temple and preaching center by myself ,means I was the only person there, and however on Sundays Hadai Odja Prabhu and his wife drove almost 2 hours to come and help me have a sunday feast at the little preaching center ,sometimes there was still 40 -50 people and I did not have energy to make a big feast every sunday.SO he and his good wife did , I…

Arjuna is know as Jishnu ,one who never fights dirty in war ,only once in his life did he break Ksatriya codes on Krsnas direct order ! 

Krsna told Arjuna to kill Karna while his wheel was stuck normally kstariyas in Vedic times would not kill an unarmed man untill he got armed and the fighting was mostly fair.But Krsna to avenge Abhimanyu told Arjuna to kill Karna, there is no wrong in this killing because Krsna is God and His order is absolute ! We should honor Krsna and…

The next printing should be again to the original way

Yasoda-nandana : Sometimes they appeal that "We can make better English," so they change like that, just like in the case of Isopanisad. There are over a hundred changes. So where is the need? Your words are sufficient. The potency is there.... When they change, it is something else. Svarupa Damodara: That's actually a very dangerous mentality. Yasoda-nandana : What is it going to be in five years? It's going to be a different…

Yesterday Miniketana Rama finished translating 7canto of Garga Samhita from Russian into English so here it is :

Narasimha astra !

Garga Samhita canto 7 chapter 3 to 5 mentiones Sisupala fighting against Lord Krsnas son Padyumna, of course He is not only Krsnas son but the incarnaton of Lord Krsnas Caturvuyha expansion Lord Pradyumna ,who is also the transcendental Kamadeva and worshipped as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam 5 canto chapter 18-19..You might have read the pastimes in Krsna book and Srimad Bhagavatam about Praydumna so Lord Pradyumna ended up fighting Sisupala (who is an incarnation of…

Narasimha Astra :

Miniketana Rama send me this but failed to mention where in Garga Samhita this is from , but it supports what I stated that the Narasimha astra is the incarnation of Lord Narasimha :

And then a fierce battle began between Shakuni and Pradyumna. When Shakuni used Rauravastra, created by Maya Danava,…

One of my former Godbrothers was Janesvara from Sweden .One day on sankirtana he stated that Harikesa has all 8 mystic powers. now Srila Prabhupada writes : Those who are spiritually advanced by yogic mystic power, they can move anywhere they like. Anima, laghima siddhi. There are still yogis in India who early in the morning take bath in four dhamas: Hardwar, Jagannatha Puri, Rameshvaram, and Dvaraka(sarva-gatah. They’ll sit down…

A Greedy Gang of Thieves

Srila Vrindavana Dasa Thakura has narrated this astonishing pastime in Chaitanya-bhagavata (Antya-khanda 5.527–706). The leader of the gang, who had been born in a brahmana family, had rejected religious principles to associate with wicked, materialistic people and lead a sinful life of cheating, stealing, and even murder. Fortunately for him, he dwelled in the holy land of Navadvipa when Lord Nityananda was performing His pastimes there.

Lord Nityananda…
