Lord Sri Krsna has 3 kinds of Tilaka , 1 made of kasturi , musk from the deer , it makes a black line on Krsna forhead, 2 is Gorocana ,gallstones from cows , and 3 kunkuma .It sppears Lord Sri Krsna at times wore tilaka as one line made of Sandalwood. Unfortunatly there is no mention I could find of the Tilaka worn by Lord Caitanya and His associates.Except for Lord Caitanya having tilaka made of chandan sandalwood in Navadvipa.

There  is a common misconception that Sri Krsna…

Dear devotees

All glories to Srila Prabhupada 

I was watching Sura Prabhu funny thanksgiving lecture from ISKCON LA, great class , two points , are ISKCON women always wellbehaved ??? According to Suras polite lecture yes, reality is different .

yesterday i saw one person trying to be the master of the holy name, his mentality disgusted me ,he is an initiated disciple of Srila Prabhupada and did not even put devotional dress on ,then he sings the Mahamantra in a complicated tune ,that no one can follow thinking his is better than everyone.The Temple administration should demand any kirtana leaders wear at least devotional dress.I once told Ramahadra when I served in ISKCON NY, that…

Lord Sri Krsna did worship of Durga for the victory of the Pandavas ,but that is just to bewilder the atheists ,as Krsna Himself is the master of Durga this was before the battle of Kuruksetra , Lord Caitanya never observed Navaratri so whatever standard is set by Lord Caitanya is the standard if Navaratri was to be performed by Gaudiya vaisnavas it would have been included in Hari Bhakti Vilasa and described how.Siva ratri is there in Hari Bhakti Vilasa as this worship is…

Translation of Bhagavad Gita 3.8

Perform your prescribed duty, for doing so is better than not working. One cannot even maintain one’s physical body without work.

In 1979 while I first visited the temple in Sweden , Korsnas Gard, also known as New Radha Kunda.: One day we went on a blissful harinama in Stockholm ,and being allowed to distribute prasadam to onlookers was really blissful.On the way back the devotees had a long Narasimha Kirtan, and I really felt the presence of Lord Narasimha by the mercy of the devotees.

When I joined the temple I was allowed to make sandalwood every day for one Lord Narasimha Deity worshipped by…

My prayer is that the temple of Lord Narasimha at  Narasimha palli,  in Godruma Dvipa, Navadvipa  may be made into a larger beautiful temple with many offerings daily. Also I have a similar prayer for…
