Why do sufferings happen in life? Due to our activities in past lives. We should offer everything to the Lord and sit before the sadhu, thus we will receive mercy.

Good fortune materializes in a person’s life when he or she associates with a devotee. Ramacandra blesses the person so that he or she may attain Krsna. Compared to other yugas, life span is short in Kali-yuga. God gave us the human body so that we can take our place in our spiritual, transcendental home. Before leaving this body, ask yourself: “Who am I?” About having the vision of the Lord. About how to call the Lord. To protect herself from Durvasa Rsi, Draupadi calls Krsna for help...

Family life is happy where all members are serving Gurudeva and Krsna, all tied by the thread of prema. Srila Sukadeva Gosvami Pada, in Venu Madhuryam, describes the...

0:00:27 – When a sadhu speaks Hari-katha, all sins are destroyed; an example from Sadhana-bhakti is Subal and Sridam.
