if someone find faults with Krsna we do not want to associate with them ,but Srimati Radharani called Krsna so many ill names out of Her devotion , She also would say I will have nothing to do with this black fellow ,,if you read Govinda Lilamrta, Gita Govinda and Lalitamadhave and so many books of the Goswamis you will see how Sri Radha found fault in Krsna but it is transcendental and not envy like demons ,Mother Yasoda and Srimati…

dear GBC please remove any GBCs that serve grains on Nityananda Trayodasi !

It is opposed to Bhakti to take grains on Nityananda Trayodasi ,but many ISKCON temples serve cake and other grains , as they do not care about Bhakti only their belly Skanda Purana states:





matr ha pitr has caiva bhratr ha guru has tatha

“Those who eat grains on Ekadasi and on the Day of Lord Hari (including Janmastami, Gaura Purnima etc.) obtain the sin equal to killing one’s own mother, own… Continue

Srila Prabhupadas socalled "racial profiling "

secondly Srila Prabhupada considered the white race superior than others as they are…

Srila Haridas Thakura at some point chanted in a cave, and chanted 192 rounds daily , so he would have no bad association ,devotees used to visit him , but there was a huge snake that made it impossible for others to visit him and finally Srila Haridas Thakura prayed to Lord Paramatma to ask the snake to leave the cave, which it did.

when to use anger in Krsnas service

when to use anger in Krsnas service



when Krsnas pure devotees are attacked we should become angry, I recall on Harinama in Copenhagen 1989 , one drunk man from Norway started spitting devotees in the face he was obviously drunk, but I did not tolerate it, I went and punched him with a Taekwondo punch in the stomach ,and he was crawling on the ground, bystanders applauded my hitting him the stomach and because I knocked the wind out of him , it was violent but only to the degree it… Continue
