In this Podcast we discuss Bhakti - the yoga of Divine Love.

For thousands of years, the greatest thinkers, philosophers and gurus have been ardent followers of the Vedic Wisdom. I believe that the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavatam, contain a ...

'The' Formula to Become Free From All Undesirable Habits | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | ISV | 31 Jul 2021

Anybody need an attitude lift? Yes, lift your attitude. One, two, three, lift. So much of our progress has to do with our attitude, and it's easy to get pushed down by the three modes of material nature. The way to rise above it is by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa.And I'm going to repeat the first verse that came from the Antya Līlā, Caitanya-caritāmṛta, wri…

'Brahmāṇḍa bhramite kono bhāgyavān jīva guru-kṛṣṇa-kṛpāya pāya bhakti-latā-bīja' (CC.

As early as this morning, I heard Prabhupāda speaking about how, when we travel, we have many requirements to get from one place to another.

Get Kṛṣṇa’s Glance in Bhakti by Giving Your Full Attention to The Holy Names | ISV | 21 Aug 2021

We have to take strength from Lord Balarāma. Part of the spiritual strength is to have the enthusiasm and the remembrance, which perhaps precedes the enthusiasm, to take our beads every day and make a valiant effort against the strong waves of māyā to fully take the names of Kṛṣṇa.And one other point is that it's not insignificant if we give our at…

Bhakti Cannot Arise In The Heart Without Humility | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | ISV Yātrā | 12 Feb 2024

Cultivate The Mood to Beg Kṛṣṇa For Mercy, Shelter & Service | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | ISV | 23 Oct 2021
10:42
Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura says that when you're chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, you should beg for this medicine and beg for the mercy of Kṛṣṇa. And so there's a goal to our sādhana. That's sādhya. And the practice to reach the sādhya, or the goal, is sādhana. And so one has to have some clear idea what one's begging for. It's like Rajendrananda Prabhu said, he's …
