Krishna's mercy

One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna. -BG. 4.9

I need to do what is necessary

Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. -St. Francis of Assisi

Words of wisdom from a yogi tea bag

Love is where compassion prevails and kindness rules.

Vyasa Puja offering 2009 to H.H. Bhakti Tirtha Swami

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.  All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I would like to express my gratitude to you for teaching me what life and love is all about.  Your compassion for all and your persistence in serving Guru and Krishna is nothing short of amazing.  

I will always treasure the association I have had with you, and your lectures and books which continue to help me grow in serving Krishna and the vaisnavas.

Thank you Gurudeva.  With love your undeserving daughter, Kiriti dasi 

What a beautiful analogy

The holy name is compared to a wonderful flower.  At the beginning, it is present as a mere bud, but then gradually, and steadily, it develops to its full-blossomed stage.  Just as a bud transforms into an attractive flower with fascinating petals, the sweet Syamasundara form of Krishna in Goloka Vrindavan will be revealed to the serious chanter.  When the bud starts to open, the chanter will be captivated by the sixty-four transcendental qualities of Krishna, which emerge from the blossoming flower of the holy name like an irresistable fragrance.  Finally, when the holy name has fully blossomed, Krishna's eternal pastimes will be revealed to the chanter.  -H.H. Sacinandana  Swami

Well worth the wait
