The Yoga of Pure Attachment
As a river flows incessantly to the sea, so with the regulated practice of bhakti-yoga, our love will flow naturally toward Krsna.
Lord Caitnaya: A Place Among God’s Friends
Lord Caitanya enjoys a reunion with some of His dear friends. He was at this time living in the coastal city of Puri on the Bay of Bengal in the state of Orissa, and His quarters were near the compound of the famous temple of Jagannatha.
The Birth of God (Lord Caitanya)
Lord Caitanya did not need to take birth as an infant; He could have simply manifested Himself, without any so-called mother or father. After all, He is the father of all living beings and of all existence.
Krsna, Our Dearmost Friend
Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is our dearmost friend. By Krsna is meant God. Krsna means all-attractive, for how can God be God if He does not have all attractive qualities in full?
Govinda: The Primal Cause
Krsna who is known as Govinda is the Supreme Godhead. He has an eternal blissful spiritual body. He is the origin of all. He has no other origin and He is the prime cause of all causes.
Lord Caitanya: The Golden Avatara
Caitanya Mahaprabhu is an incarnation of Krsna, and this is confirmed by scholars and devotees. In the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is confirmed that the incarnation of Krsna or God in this present age, Kali-yuga, will always engage in describing Krsna.
Can God Do That?
If I were to tell you I knew a story about a boy who swallowed a raging forest fire to save his friends and relatives, you’d probably think it was a fairy tale. Boys don’t swallow forest fires.
The Sense to Know God
Krsna is infinite, while we are smaller than the atom. Therefore it is not possible for us to know the Supreme Personality of Godhead by our ordinary sense perception. It is not possible.
Every Town and Village

The Glories of Lord Caitanya, Part 1
From the historical records about Lord Caitanya, we certainly see a picture of a God-conscious saint who appeared in India during the sixteenth century. But we have to seek further—into the devotional Vedic literature—to understand the full, spiritual significance of Lord Caitanya.
Love in the Absolute World
As long as we have the desire for material sense gratification or the desire for material liberation there is no possibility of developing transcendental bliss in Krsna consciousness.
To Know the Unknowable
Lord Krsna says nobody knows Him. Even the demigods on higher planets, who are more intelligent and more advanced than human beings, do not know Krsna. Nor do the seven great sages whose planet is near the polestar. They also do not know Him.
Everything Belongs to Krsna
Everything belongs to Krsna. We are artificially enjoying so frustration will come but if we return everything to Krsna, then it will be all right. So the best thing is to return everything to Krsna. This is Krsna consciousness. Then you will not be loser; you’ll be gainer.
The Opulences of Krsna
Lord Krsna has innumerable expansions. As far as Krsna Himself is concerned, there are six opulences which are always present—knowledge, wealth, fame, strength, beauty and renunciation. He has these opulences in totality, whereas created beings have them in part only.
Observing the Armies on the Battlefield of Kuruksetra – Part 1
Bhagavad-gita has sometimes been called the perfect theistic science. Actually Bhagavad-gita means “Song of God,” but because it is a song sung by the Supreme Himself, it is also a science.
Krsna Is Inviting Us
When Krsna comes He shows us His Vrndavana pastimes and invites us: “You can dance with Me also. You can play with Me just like the cowherd boys. And I shall give you protection.”
Krsna lila: The Divine Forms and Pastimes
The boys who are playing with Krsna and herding cows in Vrndavana are not ordinary living entities. They are highly developed sages who have acquired perfection by the accumulation of pious activities in past lives.
The Avataras of Godhead
An Avatara, by definition, is one who descends from the Spiritual Sky in order to perform a specific function which cannot be accomplished by any ordinary living being.
“First We Must Understand What God Is…”
I meditate upon Krsna because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him.
The Rescue of Govindaji
Nowadays most people are unaware that the greatest of ancient India’s rulers were devotees of Lord Krsna who used their wealth and influence in His service.
