Those who are pure devotees of the Lord have the same appearance and disappearance, for they are always with us, like the rising and setting of the Sun. Self-realization is the best realization. Meeting and separation. There is only one reason why a Vaisnava Guru comes to this world, to liberate the souls from the material world. The mood of the gopis, manjaris and sakhas. There are two types of upasana. The mood of parakiya means four things. Description of the two duties of Maya Devi in...

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada established Temples all over the world through his disciples such as Srila Svami Prabhupada, because this is the desire of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
