Nobody is free.Everyone is under the grip of material laws. Even if I think, “I am
free,” that is my foolishness. I will be forced to act. Even if I do
not want to become old man, I will be forced to become old man. And if
I, after this giving up this body, if I… Suppose nature is offering
me a dog’s body. If I say “No, no, I will not accept this,” no, you
will be forced to accept it. That is nature’s law. But you can save
yourself if you follow conscientiously. That is Krsna consciousness.
If you keep yourself in Krsna consciousness and act accordingly, then
you will be saved. Otherwise there is no saving. Continue reading

“All of you , you become guru”-SP
Hare Krsna
Pranams
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Last night before falling asleep I read this below in the conversation books. It is very instructive for devotees wishing for the blessings of God and Guru. Hare Krsna is not a sit down do nothing spiritual movement. It is meant first of all for ourselves,individually, and then we give what we have learned and assimilated to others.It comes in, and then goes out, but we feel invigorated by passing on this transcendental knowledge to all whom we meet.
If one reads with an impartial mind all of Srila Prabhupadas books, Continue reading
Some principles of purity-SP
1.) 770111tt.ida
According to Vedic civilization, you are actually untouchable. Now we have come to touch
you; therefore wash you must first. You are untouchable. In Indian
civilization, dog is untouchable, and that is your best friend. So you
are not touchable. Therefore we have to wash you. And unless your
brain is washed, you cannot understand Krsna. So it is necessary. Is
that all right? Dog is your best friend. In India dog is untouchable. So “Man is known by his company.” If your best friend is dog, then
what you are? We can understand your position because you sleep with
dog, you eat with dog, your best friend is dog, so what you are? You
must be washed. It is a fact. Every woman, every man, has some dog. Continue reading
Dear Lord Narsimha, Please save me…….
3 short bits of nectar from Srila Prabhupada
1. 72-05-24.Gir Letter: Giriraja
Please accept my blessings. I have received your letter dated May
9, 1972 and I have noted the contents carefully. Actually it is the
duty of the spiritual master to find fault with his students so that
they may make progress, not that he should always be praising them. So
if you find some criticism, kindly accept it in that spirit. I am only
interested in that you along with all my other students should become
Krishna Conscious. Continue reading

VEDIC VILLAGE REVIEW # 21
May 26, 2013. Prabhupadanuga Farm in Fiji
SOUNDS OF NEW JAYAPUR
One fine, sunny morning this last week, I was marking small junk trees along the edge of the forest to be cut in the making of the new hillside pasture, when I stopped to listen to the sounds of the project that were resounding clearly across our tropical rainforest valley next to the seacoast:
1. There was the small chain saw, not far away, as Isaac cut the bush stumps at ground level for the new pasture,
2. And the tractor, as Bill was moving some timber over to the equipment shed, reminding me of when Srila Prabhupada came to New Talavan, Continue reading
