284Do I have to give up my occupation to serve Krishna?
Krishna does not suggest anything impractical
So Krishna is not advising Arjuna to simply remember Him and give up his occupation. No. Krishna never suggests anything impractical. In this material world, in order to maintain the body, one has to work.
Human society is divided into four divisions of social order: brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya and sudra. The brahmana class, or intelligent class, is working in one way, the ksatriya class or administrative class is working in another way and the mercantile class and laborers are all tending to their specific duties.
In human society, whether one is a laborer, merchant, warrior, administrator or farmer, or even if one belongs to the highest class and is a literary man, a scientist or a theologian, he has to work in order to maintain his existence.
Krishna advises Arjuna not to give up his occupation
Krishna, therefore tells Arjuna that he need not give up his occupation, but while he is engaged in his occupation, he should remember Krishna. If he doesn't practice remembering Krishna when he is struggling for existence, then it will not be possible for him to remember Krishna at the time of death.
Lord Caitanya also advises this. He says that one should practice remembering the Lord by chanting the names of the Lord always. The names of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent. So Lord Krishna's instruction to Arjuna to "remember Me" and Lord Caitanya's injunction to always "chant the names of Lord Krishna" are the same instruction. There is no difference, because Krishna and Krishna's name are nondifferent.
Remembering Krishna while working
Therefore we have to practice remembering Krishna always, twenty-four hours a day, by chanting His names and moulding our life's activities in such a way that we can remember Him always.
How is this possible? The acharyas give the following example. If a married woman is attached to another man, or if a man has an attachment for a women other than his wife, then the attachment is to be considered very strong. One with such an attachment is always thinking of the loved one. The wife who is thinking of her lover is always thinking of meeting him, even while she is carrying out her household chores. In fact she carries out her household work even more carefully so her husband will not suspect her attachment.
In the same way as the married woman who is attached to another man is remembering her lover constantly but she is still carrying out her duties in her husband's house, we should constantly remember the supreme lover, Sri Krishna, and at the same time perform our material duties very nicely.
A strong sense of love is required here. If we have a strong sense of love for the Supreme Lord then we can discharge our duty and at the same time remember Him. But we have to develop that sense of love for Krishna.
Arjuna, for instance, was always thinking of Krishna; he was the constant companion of Krishna, and at the same time he was a warrior. Krishna did not advise Arjuna to go to the forest and meditate.
When Lord Krishna explained the meditational yoga system to Arjuna he says that the practice of this system is not possible for him.
"Arjuna said, O Madhusudana, the system of yoga which you have summarized appears impracticle and unendurable to me.
For the mind is restless and unsteady.
" (Bhagavad Gita 6.33)
The best yogi
However, Krishna replies to Arjuna, encouraging him:
"Of all yogis, he who abides in Me with great faith, worshipping Me in transcendental loving service, is most intimatily united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all." (Bhagavad Gita 6.47)
So one who is always thinking of the Supreme Lord, Krishna, is the greatest yogi, the supermost jnani and the greatest devotee at the same time.
Krishna goes on to tell Arjuna that, as a ksatriya, he can not give up fighting, but that if he fights remembering Krishna, then he will be able to remember Krishna at the time of death. However to do this one must be completely surrendered to Krishna in the transcendental loving service of the Lord.
We actually work with our mind and intelligence, not with our body. So if our intelligence and mind is always engaged in the thoughts of the Supreme Lord, Krishna then naturally the senses are also engaged in His service.
Superficially it may appear that the activities of our senses remain the same performing devotional service to our activities in sense gratification, however the consciousness is changed. The Bhagavad Gita teaches us how we can absorb our minds and intelligence in the thought of Krishna. Such absorbtion will enable one to transfer himself to the kingdom of the Lord. If the mind is engaged in Krishna's service, then the senses are automatically engaged in His service. This is the art, and this is also the secret of Bhagavad Gita: total absorbtion in the thought of Sri Krishna.
Try to advance spiritually
Modern man has struggled very hard to reach the moon, but he has not tried very hard to elevate himself spiritually. If one has fifty years of life ahead of him, he should engage that brief time in cultivating this practice of remembering the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The easiest way
The easiest way to remember Krishna is hearing Bhagavad Gita from the realized person, this will turn one's thoughts to the Supreme Being. This will lead toremembering the Supreme Lord, and will enable one, upon leaving the body, to attain a spiritual body which is just fit for association with Krishna in the spiritual world. Krishna says:
Controlling the restless mind
The mind is naturally restless, going hither and thither, but it can rest in the sound vibration of Krishna. One must thus meditate onthe Supreme Person; and thus attain Him. The ways and the means for ultimate realization, ultimate attainment, are stated in the Bhagavad Gita, and the doors of this knowledge are open for everyone. No one is barred out. Everyone can approach Krishna by thinking of Him, for hearing and thinking of Him is possible for everyone.
We are very busy… Reading Gita is enough…
One cleanses himself daily by taking a bath in water, but one who takes his bath only once in the sacred Ganges water of the Bhagavad Gita cleanses away all the dirt of material life. Because Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one need not read any other Vedic literature. One need only attentively and regularly hear and read Bhagavad Gita. In the present age, mankind is so absorbed with mundane activities that it is not possible to read all of the Vedic literatures. But this is not necessary. This one book, Bhagavad-gita, will suffice because it is the essence of all Vedic literatures and because it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Bhagavad Gita — More important than the Ganges river
It is said that one who drinks the water of the Ganges certainly gets salvation, but what to speak of one who drinks the waters of Bhagavad Gita? Gita is the very nectar of the Mahabharata spoken by Visnu Himself, for Lord Krishna is the original Visnu. It is nectar emanating from the mouth of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the Ganges is said to be emanating from the lotus feet of the Lord. Of course there is no difference between the mouth and the feet of the Supreme Lord, but in our position we can appreciate that the Bhagavad Gita is even more important than the Ganges.
One Scripture, One God, One Religion

Hare Krishna
My question is that I am a good cook as vegetarian chef and difficult to get job abroad only as Vegetarian chef and they force to cook meat as there is no much alternative for vegetarian chef to be occupied fully and they expect to do other jobs like cleaning meat or sometimes cooking.I am confused as should I continue the work or leave the work as it incurs bad karma and other hand if I leave the job then there is guilt feeling of not doing your occupational duty.Please advise
Hare krishna prabhu
Long time!!
One confirmation, can i still give some donation for Srila Prabhupada's book distribution to you, via Paypal? -
Hare Krsna , the introduction to BG as it is by Srila Prabhupada really summarizes the whole process perfectly doesn't it ?
To remember Krsna always but at same time continue one's occupation ,How easy !
My question or dilemma is that my occupation, like many peoples in this age is very demanding and stressful with long hours and I find myself very much absorbed in the day to day mundane requirements of my job not to mention the mundane association I have and therefore fail to remember Krsna ! Second simply on a practical level I feel I m lack the time to do 16 rounds a day and read an hour or two a day as you suggest.
Am I just making excuses or being lazy it's hard to know, should I change my occupation I've not wanted to do that so far as Krsna advises Arjuna not to quit . What is your suggestion please ? -
Hare Krishna Prabhu
Will there be any exam in future on Bhagavad-gita? It will be very interesting if you conduct it. Maybe on next Gita Jayanti if you think it right like many organizations conduct on that day.
Hare Krishna Madhudvisa Prabhu!
Should one avoid occupations related to news, sports and cinema that increase sense gratification in the world? -
Hare Krishna,
I have to give my whole life to krishna.
Hare Krishna
Dear prabhu, I can't see anywhere to give some money for this website or in krishnastore.com . I want to give some money to sincere followers of the Acharya who are pushing the movement still. Do u know someone or some organization which are printing still original books like that? At present I found only this website is truly an 'online original BTG'. I can tell to others also prabhu…
What is really mean service to Lord Krishna ? What type , to whom and how the services are ?
Yes! what and how is one to determine ones occupation? Ive done many things "occupations" in this life. I want to know my eternal occupation. And yes I do know that to serve Krishna is my eternal occupation but doing what? Is there something that can tell us?
Dear guru, Hare Krishna. My name is Jaya Shelan. I would like to know whether "Can a Krishna conscious person have an ambition( eg. Doctor, Police, Lawyer and etc) with the intention to serve others?
Hare Krishna Prabhu ,
I want to ask ,in this current age why we are not taking help of Sankirtana.Infact it is very limited.YS
Hare krishna prabhuji. Thanks for the newsletter that says do I have to give up my occupation to serve at here the llaborer man earns little money from his work. thou the nature of his work is. not good and he is unhappy and krishna spoke to arjuna direct. not to give up his occupation how can you reconcile this two people to serve krshna
Hare Krishna Prabhu ,

Hare Krishna -
Thank you Madhudvisa dasa, for the emails with your kind explanations about Krsna Consciousness by way of the Bhagavad Gita, and Srila Prabhupada's translations. I appreciate them very much, and wish to show my grattitude.
Hare Krishna !!!
Dandvata Pranam Prabhu jee,Your every Krsna Connect Newsletter is very inspiring. I enjoy it very much.
Your servant's servant Rajendra Yadav
pranam guruji,
thank you very much for the newsletter and your regular mails . I learned a lot from it
can you please tell me how should i surrender completely to the almighty , every time i try but the fear (what will happen if i do this ,what will be the result,and about the future things) is always there in my mind. i read bhagwad geeta and yes it calms me but then again after some time it get back the old me.
krishna says " karm karo fal fal ki chinta mat karo" but most of the time whatever task we are performing is due to the reason, for example if i am preparing for a competitive exam is due to reason i want results from it , i want to crack it, then how should i not expect from it, i am working hard for it . i want to know the the way so that i can just concentrate on my duty not on the result ,the way to throw out the fear from mind and feel like everything will be good because my krishna is always with me. -
Respected gurus
I just want to know if I can copy the contents of Bhagavadgita as it is to a Facebook pages dedicated for Bhagavadgita which I have created for propagating Gita in English and Telugu so that my friends and friends of friends will try and read it.
I just want to propagate Hinduism and its greatness. Can i
Where ever, however and whenever possible let us move forward to preach Gita for peace.
I feel lack of awareness of ones religion has caused the displeasure for religion during crisis times and hence cause for disbelief.
Hope you got my point
Thank you
Hare krishna I read your news letter daily and it is very interesting and refreshing my mind I read bhagavad gita as it is book almost daily in the morning.
Thanking you,

Hi , the present Census report about Muslim population growth in Nadia a border district where MAYAPUR
IS LOCATED is bad news. After 20 or 30 years we could be living in an INTOLERANT MUSLIM DOMINATED SOCIETY if we do not take action now. Krishna does not preach non violence in all situations . We have to find a solution violent or non violent before the enemy becomes the majority and drives us out as has happened in E and W pakistan and is happening in the kashmir valley. -
All I can say for now is,may Krishna help you to continue this wonderful work for the benefit of humanity. Hare Krishna
Harekrishna dear prabhu dandavat prana to your lotus feet . Kindly send me news letters on regular basis . Though me reading Bhagavatgita as it is , of our Jagadguru A.C.Bhakti Vedantnta Pabhu Padji, , still not able to digest its deeper meaning as me one of the low intelliget&a fallen soul.

This is my humble request . kindly enlighten me more to advance in spiritual life and do some sincere service to Shrila Guru Dev and to Shrila A.CBhaktivedanta Prabhu Padji in spreading Krishna conscious movement. Hare krishna.

I'm 55 and gone away from home a year ago unable to bear the family members who need only money. I'm sending them money according to their needs. i pray lord KRISHNA to relieve me from family.
continue sending me your messages on GITA. -
Thanks for the news letter . I have few questions
Why we loose interest while chanting hare Krishna mantra? Why we are so much attracted to material world after knowingly that it is if no use. How we can get out of this.
Hare Krishna,
Thank u so much for such important topics.
I would like ask u, as Lord Vishnu is creator of world then why we are focus only on lord Krishna, why we are not go with Lord Rama. -
Jai sree Krishna ,
Thank u very much for your mailing.
Many thanks for such divine reminders.
Devotee Arjuna was a an excellent Archer (warrior).
Were there any BLESSINGS / TEACHINGS from LORD Krishna to Arjuna towards this achievement?Most people in Grahasta stage need to Excel in their Professional Performance.
Excellent tutorials on how to connect to the supereme lord sri krishna continuing our routine chores. Thnx prabhu for enlightening our spirits. Always luk forward to your newsletters. Hari bol.
Hare Krishna,
I have one thing that is going on in my mind for long but I'm unable to understand. Krishna loves us all equally, but then we did HE seperate us all from himself? Why did he create this world, when the ultimate goal of all of us is to be with him?
Please guide me.
Best advice I read was to remember Krishna all day. That is the only way to fight the evil of this world. And there is so much–and getting worse each day. Also it was said that all we need is the Gita. What about the Sri Caitanya set or the Srimad? Or is this for more advanced individuals?
Hare Krishna!
Thank-you brother for your reply, thanks a lot. I have been reading Srila Prabhupada's book, I do not call myself a bhakt, as I am far away to reach that big position but I love Kanhaji and want to
do nothing that would make him unhappy because of my any deed. Yes I don't like to discuss problems as those are material situations. Thank you for your Krishna Conscious newsletter. -
I am single, but I don't earn, due to some problems I had to stay at home, am I doing right or wrong.
Hare Krishna!
Hare krishna! These talks have been very helpful and enlightening, thanks. I offer my humble obeisances unto you, srila Prabhupada and Krishna. I think I will enjoy the exam. I accidentally deleted the other lessons/talks. Could you please send them to me again as I wish to be well informed for the exam, and to sincerely and seriously meditate on them. Thanks. Hare Krishna.
thanx for this valuable information. i got answers to many of my unanswered question through this article
Hare Krishna Prabhu,
It's been quite a few days since i joined this site and it has been a blissful experience for me. And i need to know about one thing as of now. As i am new to this spirituality mission about god and know little but want to know more.
So i want to ask you that i am having little knowledge about the Krishna consciousness and learning more day by day but when i die and if i get another human form once again then will i be Krishna conscious in my next human life from the start or i forget everything?
Waiting for your reply.
Hare Krishna
necter and partical words of Sri Krishna. Always inspire me to become srevant of Lords.
Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare, hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare.
"And let there be one God only for the whole world-Sri Krishna." I thought that Hindus worshiped several gods and believed that Krishna recieves all of the devotion. And I thought that before eating Hare Krishna's rung a bell, calling on other gods to bless there food? So what does this mean, 'let there be only one God for the whole world Sri Krishna?'
thank you prabhu for the newsletter it is intresting one. but the four human society of division under whom do they take guidiance
FATHER DANDAVATS PLS GUIDE ME – I AM A STUDNT OF ANIMATION ao i hav to watch a lot of fillms is it ok?? is that breaking the rules?? also father can i dedicate, whatever work lik animation or drawing i do to krishn ??can that be called as devotional work ??can that clear my karma?? pls tell if not then what can ?? also father can i give whatever merits i earn by reading srila prabhupada books lik bhgavat gita to someone ??is this also possible in the case of fasting??
Hare Krsna prabhuji. I have a question to ask you regarding occupation. Prabhuji are they some occupations or some type of occupations which a devotee or person aspiring to be a devotee should avoid no matter what? Let me give you an example. There seems to be a job or occupation where you get paid if you make the people interested to buy and use products of the company. And these products are materialistic including the food. So i will be doing things that are not Krsna Conscious at all. So what to do. This job is not a typical job as it offers a lot of money depending on how much time you spend in it.
I won't say anything more.
Hare Krsna Madhudvisa dasa prabhuji. I got clear about the occupation issue regarding Krsna Consciousness which is to use the money no matter what job you do for Krsna. But now the the second issue or secondary issue is Greed. I don't feel like i have looked into the topic of greed or that it has mattered much in my life. At least never thought of it for like sometime. Or that in this site they has been much talk of Greed as far as i know or remember. I did mention "This job is not a typical job as it offers a lot of money depending on how much time you spend in it."
It seems very attractive as it offers a lot of money that i don't have to worry about money or anything and can always practice devotional service without much almost any or almost any worry of money. Do you have any advice as to how not to be a victim of the quality of Greed as it is one of the three gates to Hell. Anger, Lust and Greed.
After very long time I read about krishna. I m feeling very good. Ilike it. thank u so much for this
Bhaja Nitai Gaura Radhe Shyam Japa Hare Krishna Hare Ram ! All glories to the supreme Lord Krishna. All glories to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. All glories to HG Srila Prabhuapada…
Hare krishna Madhudvida dasaji,
One greatest mystery what I am introspecting is that man was growing blindfolded with agnyana ( ignorance) as it was once again a maya of almighty to keep him on toes to chase his desires, besides, Krishna has gifted this wisdom, which in my experience, if man reads one verse of any of these 18 chapters, all his Mala (kama, krodha), Vipeksha (distraction) will be just formatted from his system and he becomes that bliss which he no longer needs to look at externally.
Pranams to you!
Thy own goodself!
Kaarthi thabho
Hare Krsna!!!!!!!!!

Hare Krishna Prabhu Ji. PAMHO. AGTSP. Thank you very much for sending such a beautiful nectar to me. I really need it regularly. Kindly suggest me how can i remember always what i read. I forgot it and not able to meditate on whatever I read.
Your Aspiring Servant
Pankaj -
Dear Madhudvisa prabhuji,
Pamh AgtSPThank you for replying in such a thought provoking way. I am somewhat startled and confused by your reply. Are you affiliated with ISKCON, Akshaya Patra, IRM or a Gaudiya Math branch or simply out there on your own preaching on behalf of Srila Prabhupada?
I certainly admire your gaul in openly stating there is hardly anyone left in Srila Prabhupada's International Society for Krishna Consciousness movement. Which ISKCON are you referring too as there are a few versions about these days? I am not being cynical here, it's an honest question.
I have been through many of the ups and downs within this movement since Srila Prabhupada's disappearance, with two Diksha Guru falldowns and a host of anomalies including my mishaps on the way.
Even though I sometimes find it difficult to continue within the ISKCON I'm serving with, I somehow remember Srila Prabhupada's two vital instructions:
1. Accept the GBC Body as the ultimate ruling authority and
2. Never leave ISKCON no matter how rough and tough it gets.My personal directive and conviction is and has always been to remain within Srila Prabhupada's movement and by that austerity plus other services I will be able to assist in improving the apparent shortcomings of the society. I am a fairly observant person and often think things through without applying a negative attitude to individuals by suspending my privilege of judgement. That is why I feel a little confident in the integrity of my seminar service which I hope to offer at the feet the thousands of devotees in the world of the ISKCON I am a tiny part of.
So to help clear things up for you, I can assure you that there is an ongoing increase of the members of the main ISKCON movement which Srila Prabhupada registered in New York City in July 1966. This ISKCON is not decreasing to hardly a soul within it, but is increasing in size and momentum every minute and you must be referring to another branch of the Chaitanya Tree by your description of such dwindling proportions.
I wholeheartedly applaud your application of Srila Prabhupada's teachings via your Bhagavad Gita newsletter and your determination to minimize your own words in favour of His Divine Grace. I also appreciate your concerns over just another meaningless seminar that some impure soul has created to help devotees in their application of Srila Prabhupada's teachings. Your point is gratefully received and will be applied to the presentation. I must beg to disagree that there is no point in such presentations as we all have the capacity to help one another so much in spiritual life, but I must agree that we can also interfere and ruin the pure teachings of Srila Prabhupada by watering down or interpretation of his books too.
It must state the obvious to most people that without the help, support and guidance of senior disciples of His Divine Grace, our understanding would be ambiguous and possibly misleading. As stated by Narrotama Das Thakura and many Acaryas, we need the three lines of authority to assist us in reaching the correct siddhanta – Guru, Sadhu and Shastra. In this regard Srila Prabhupada is certainly the Guru and his books are certainly the Shastra, but Sadhu doesn't only refer to the historical line of Vaisnava Acaryas, sadhu also refers to the present and future saintly followers of Guru Sadhu and Shastra. If that weren't the case then Srila Prabhupada and his books will have failed to produce sadhus and pure devotees. Or is it that all the sadhus and pure devotees have left his recognized mission of ISKCON and are now in other organisations or are fighting the good fight alone or in groups of two and three?
I hope not to offend by these statements which I deem to be the proper attitude, but if I am wrong then don't hesitate to correct my understanding according to the authorized system of Guru Sadhu and Shastra rather than an individual opinion resulting from frustration due to the failure of others.
At your feet,
Sakhyarasa Prema Dasa anudas.
Dear Madhudvisa prabhu,
Please accept my respectful obeisances.First of all thank you for putting this newsletter together. I like your system, especially since most of the wordings are directly Srila Prabhupada from his books. Bravo! He is Lord Krishna's postman and we follwers are but his postman and women delivering the same message verbatim without false ego and desires for gain, fame and followers and false prestige and position mongering, (labha, puja and pratistha).
I believe that the Gita is not studied well enough within our society these days. When I was a new bhakta in the late 70s we had to learn at least 7 shlokas per week with 50% word for word understandings Due to that great culture of learning I managed to learn at least 100 verses and am still learning more to this day. So you're efforts to help others pick up the essence of the Gita is wonderful and glorious.
I am about to embark on a specialized seminar dealing with the 81 levels of devotional service showing how we can gauge our factual position within devotional service and will be referring to the 14th and 17th chapter of the Gita and 3rd canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. This seminar is mainly for initiated members to help us understand where we are situated in relation to our fellow devotees for improved relations and better interfacing within the society as a whole. Though I'm sure many non initiates will be interested in the seminar depending on how long they have been practicing bhakti yoga.
Please kindly extend your blessing upon this endeavor to be free of the unwanted desires for name, fame, adoration, material gain and all the rubbish nonsense that goes with it.
Many thanks for your service and standing within devotional service.
Your servant,
Sakhyarasa Prema Dasa. (JPS) -
i don't know how to be devotional, I just go through the motions.
I am brand new to seeking Krishna conciousness. I have obtained a copy of bhagavad gita as it is, and japa beads. I have been blessed by the newsletter. I do not live near a temple, and am wondering where I may go to hear the bhagavad gita read by a realized devotee.
Thank you for your service, Prabhu. I have a question; I am studying to be a Midwife, how can I relate this to Krsna Consciousness?
Hare Krsna, Prabhu.
Hare Krishna,
It was so satisfactory to read the articles and many questions and queries were answered. One more question i want to ask, what is the method of penance for the past misdeeds ? I request you Prabhu g to answer this query in detail. Whats to be done attain the pure life back ? -
thanku soooooooooo much for lovely letters……..hare Krishna……lookin forward for exams 🙂 🙂
Haribol Prabhu!
I'm wondering what are common occupations held by Devotees that directly or semi-directly serve Krsna and his Devotees? I'm inspired by the work you do here and at KrishnaStore.com, is there anything similar that some Devotees do? I'm studying to become a Midwife, how can I relate this to Krishna Consciousness? Thank you so much for your answers and patience.Jai Sri Sri Radha-Krsna!
Jai Srila Prabhupada! -

your mails bring much relief…
Hare Krishna Prabhu,
I'm very thankful for receiving these good article I always read your article and I'm practicing KC also….
I like your thought..
"One Scripture, One God, One Religion
In this present day, man is very eager to have one scripture, one God, one religion, and one occupation. So let there be one common scripture for the whole world–Bhagavad Gita. And let there be one God only for the whole world-Sri Krishna. And one mantra only-Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. And let there be one work only–the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead."If gradually every mankind follows these principle then all our problems will be solved.
I have no words to express my thanks for your valuable knowledge.
Awaiting more and more articles from you..Sincerely yours

A very good article by e mail.I am doing 16 malas japam vegetarian,no gambling,no alcohal and also I lost my wife 7 years back and I stay nearabout ISKCON center Nellore in Bharath.Because I am a graduate in Engineering I can understand Bhagavad Geetha well whether it is in Telugu or English,but how to follow certain things as told by Lord Sri Krishna.I think Srila Prabhupada ended his life as Yathi,who else has done like that.What is the age at which one should think of such end of life.Please explain.

Hi Ruchika,
Surrender to Krishna with complete faith and enthusiasm.
He will take care of everything if you surrender.Don't you know about Mira Bai, Don't you know about Prahlad maharaj.
They surrendered 100% and Krishna took care of everything.Point is Surrender and Faith.
Remember this verse all the time.sarva-dharmān parityajya

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear."Do not fear" – What a power and guarantee Krishna gives here.
Hari Bol,
Kalpesh -
thank u madhudvisa dasaji,
i need your help in solving a dichotomy since you are a god realised soul you are the best person to ask this question..i am being very honest here,i have been a krishna devotee since childhood but it has been on and off..for a few months i am totally surrendered to his will and cannot live without taking his name and later due the problems i have been facing in life i get so engrossed in this material world that i forget about him,its always an on and off phenonmenon,kindly help me with this
the second thing i want to ask is Krishna says that if you surrender on to me i shall take up your responsibility and you shall be away from sinful reactions,at the same time in a few scriptures i have read Him saying that whatever is written in someone's bhagya is written and even he does not have the power to change it..i am really confused in this regard kindly help… -

As told by our guru's we need not leave the occupation for doing this. we can remember alwys krishna in whole day, every minute, every second and so on in the day to day activities.

Dear Madhudvisa dasji Jai Shri Krishna!
Thank you for your newsletters.One reason being that as one is supposed to read the Gita everyday..if not all of it,then a chapter,if not that then even a sloka,or even half a sloka….So via your newsletter ,even in the office,we can be with our beloved Krishna in spirit and away, although for a shortwhile,from demanding e mails awaiting replies!So Krishna acts,via yourself, to give us respite as if to say Iam here.I cannot say I look forward to the exams!( I think I have received three newsletters from you so far)I pray for Krishna consciousness for the whole world -especially at this time of the year when so many animal lives will be lost and counsumerism will be rife as we await Christmas. Jai Shri Krishna from Kiran -

You are wrong.
Arjuna have to fight, it was not his occupaption, but his duty, A ksttria have to fight/ Thats is in your mind now.He was already falling a warrior who cries when he sees Yuyodhan who make his wife Draupadi to shame, like the others they were there to!, He is not a priest ( that is what Krishna says to him, that is not you Arjuna, you now better. What he Arjuna does is only making confusion! Yes I am a solcher, I dont have to fight its against my religion now, then why you start or join with it, they are all sudras weeping like woman, because he have alreade break his word to Draupadi he promissis to kill asvathama the son of Dronarcarya, she must stand on Asvatham his head by the funeral pyre. to kill him not to bring him back. A kstria this is in the comment of the acarya, have to kill to hurt this is his livestyle. But again but the varna prastha. I dont give you the change to break out. Leaf wife and family and son, mabey a ascociation comes up? Sri Krishna Bhagavad Gita.
The Narada Bhakti sutra the first verse or two the same message!

I have always sought for peace. I have attended many different religious denominations to help reinforce this peace. However, it was a disaster. There is so much hypocrisy in this world that I would lose faith and curl up in despair. I have mostly been a caring soul and tried to focus on my students. Now that I have lost my entire family, I need my Lord to reassure me that I still have a lot to offer. Thank you for your inspirational letters! Hare Krishna!
Hare Krishna,
With your continuous letter,I knew something about the spirit of Bhagavat Gita.
Thanks & pl. send your letters continuously.

Dear Madhudvisa dasa.
Thank you for your web-site , moreover for the many links, I particularly enjoyed the history of the Hare Krsna movement.( What happened to the Hare Krishnas). This brings me to today's comment and question :
Swami Prabhupada mentions , several times in the Bhagavad- Gita as it is , as well as in his book "The science of self…."the only way a devotee can advance is with the help of a REAL Guru….
Living in a rural Community in Eastern Ontario , and the unfortunate decline of the Krishna movement , moreover the difficulty knowing who is a real Guru , if contact is not in persons, is very difficult…. to say the least.
I am on chapter 14 in the Gita, have read several of Swami Prabhupada's writings and feel comfortable
exploring Krishna.org, Thank you for your candid discussions, it gives me a feeling of warmth , toward your web-site.
Now my question : Is information available, who of the many "Gurus", out there , is entirely devoted to the original message as given by Lord CAITANYA , and then carried on by Swami Prabhupada, with no changes , and or , omission to the original text. I realize this is a difficult question to answer , however , the Gita with the many changes , must be authorized by someone. It would help new devotees , to immediately eliminate contacts with these opportunists.

Hare Krishna,
I just became a devotee about a month ago. So I am still learning the basics, etc. I do have a question regarding the article. I work where I am surrounded by cold cuts and meat. I do not handle the meat, but this has been my job for almost 10 years. My husband lost his job so for now this is our only income. I chant Hare Krishna all day and pray that Krishna will show me a new path. What is my case in terms of the article. In one way I am contributing to the ills of society-correct? Please comment as I am very confused at this point.

hare Krishna
the worst happening in my life was divorce of one devotee badly ,but it was the start of going to god passionately and always I had this question of him about that bad happening and generally about marriage that makes so much confusions .
I have getting conclusion that we have problem in relationships between man and woman because god originally is made of love and when we really feel love to someone ,marriage happens and when we don't love him or her divorce is happened
when someone feels depression from her or his relationship its because of not match the rules of the world and rules of god ,and as far as I concern the rules of this material world is different from god's rules in some extent. -
Hare Krishna To All Vaishnavas and please accept my kind obeisances.
I have gone through the letter and learned the objective and importance of KARMA, just one confusion about the example given for the attachment in devotional services. Example says: "when a wife has attachment with some other man than her husband."
so my question is , is the example misleading in the sense of giving idea about having attachment with other person than spouse ????????
i believe Aacharya had said this example for other purpose.
Please forgive me if my question is unusual.
Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna Prabhu ji,
I think while working one of 5 negative aspects kaam, krodh, moh, lobh and irshya always involve and one has to get away from all of these to attain spirituality and to become true krishna conscious.
Also in this materialistic world controlling of mind is not possible as we are always distracted by maya in some or the other form and to counter it Lord Krishna says there are two ways of controlling mind either abhyaas or vairagya. If it is not possible by abhyas should we look after vayragya and leave this materialistic world to attain the Supreme personality Lord Shri Krishna? -

Hare Krishna Prabhu ji. All respectful obeisances unto ur lotus feet. Please keep on showering ur blessing upon me by sending these teachings of Bhagavad-Gita by Srila Prabhupada in the form of e-mails.Waiting eagerly for the examination. HARE-KRISHNA.
Namaste Madhudvisa Dasaji,
I receive newsletters from you.
I put myself as a inquisitive person.
I believe in God and i saw some miracles happening in my life.
from last month i have even started attending Bhagavat Gita discourses in my community.
i have a couple of questions.
I work in a software company. I write code and do other activities as part of my job in this software company. I n my mind for at least 5 hours of my daily routine i think of software code and will have to track what other person's are doing.During this part of the day i don't think of anything because i will not able to deliver the responsibilities.So i cannot think of Sree Lord Krishna during this part of the day.The thoughts will be related to technology only. but as per your article you say that we have to think of Lord Krishna 24 hrs a day.Basically the thoughts would be different. Please pardon me your HG if i have crossed the limit of questioning.I humbly ask you to please enlighten me as to how to go about this thought process.
Also the essence of the word transcendental.
Why is Disciplic succession important.Regards,
Srinivas Challagulla -
You really present a marvelous description of the Bhagvad Gita's message in such a short and simple language. Really God never demand us to left this world, the main thing is to be away from the attachment.

11 July 2010 SUNDAY KRSHNADHAM, OTTAWA, CANADA
Thanks ur good mail with lots of info as to how to advance in devotional service and Bhakti Yoga.
One question. Today we read CC Adi vol 2, sloka 17/253 page 700.
We are now in the material life Are we brahmanas? We are busy for 8 hours thinking about work and earning money? How to become a real or ure brahmana? How to escape from this material platform? Many devotees are feeling the same situation but unable to get an answer. Are they called Brahmanas or sudras?Kindly help us to solve this problem.
Kali Yuga without material no spirtual life? This is one of the experience in life so far
Yours humble servant and fallen soul
hre krishna money
Respected Sir,
I have been reading and thoroughly enjoying these mails from you. The concepts are thought provoking. I have certain confusion and would kindly request your guidance….
1. Chanting the Maha Mantra: Please let me know wether the speed of chanting mahamantra matters.Is it OK if recited very fast. Secondly should it be done in one go or i can spread the 16 rounds of Japa mala throughout the day.2. Eating Meat: What if one eats meat not for his sence gratification but to maintain his body. For example in many place in nothern part of our earth growing vegetation in not possible due to the weather conditions. Humans in this part of earth depend on other living beings as basic food.
3.Illicit Sex: I read somewhere in your reply to the comments that sex not having intention of having a child is illicit. Is this practical.Do you want to indicate that sex between two married lovers is wrong.
4.Intoxication: If drinking alcohol or smoking is a big hindrance for spirtual
realization I wonder how some great saints were habitual to smoking. Example Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon.Sir please guide me…

Hardik Namaskar! Prabhuji
Shree Krishna Sharanam Namaha.Prabhuji ur e-mail always delight me. I am delighted to know that one ordinary person can go to Krishna's abode even in this modern,busy, political,high-tech world of today just by hearing Bhagavad Gita & remembering Krishna all the time in his activities.
Prabhuji I hv heard discourses of some religious gurus(astiks)they say about
Aham Brahmasmi, Chidanandrupa Shivoham, Vasudevakutumbakam
Prabhuji, though I am from vaishanava sampradaya.I worship from my mind God Shiv & God Vishnu alike. What is difference in these sentences? Which is the supreme or final abode(loka) for any soul? Pl. clear my vision my thoughts.Ur student

Shree Krishna Sharanam Namaha.
Thanks for the article of Bhagavad Gita. I enjoy and like to hear Bhagvad Gita
daily. I hv recently downloaded it from a Web. It is beautifully sung. Some slokas usually half keeps going on in my mind/brain. Prabhuji, though I don't understand Sanskrit much I have attraction/strong passion for sanskrit slokas and mantras since my childhood.You have said in this message that even if one hears Gita daily he/she attains Krishna & it is said by Krishna(Vishnu) himself. I am really pleased with this knowledge.
Also U hv mentioned about exam I will read ur articles more throughly and make myself ready for the exam.
Your student
Shubhangini. -
I am not comfortable with the explanation of a married woman having an attachment for another man other than her husband , and a man having an attachment for a woman other than his wife. Thinking of the other man or woman, as the case may be,and discharging the daily duties carefully that the husband/wife may not suspect, is not an apt explanation in the indian culture.
How can we remember the Godhead or Lord Krishna in a better way ? Please give some other example.

My humble obeisances to Srila Prabhupada, Hare Krishna Hare Ram! -
Hare Krishna Prabhuji,
Thanks for all these articles and clearing up our thinking.
Many of these thoughts and practices tally with ideals which we try to excercise and practice on our journey towards Krishna.But, somehow I feel the example of a married man/ woman thinking not about his / her spouse but about his/her lover (other than the one married to) and working more carefully so that it is not noticed etc etc is totally out of context and should be removed from this article.
Its actually preaching a double standard.
When I started reading that example, I was hoping that maybe the Acharyas are trying to indicate that while a true wife or husband is doing her/his duty while thinking about Krishna is actually going to bring better results in the efforts of a wife or a husband. To my surprise the example went at a tangent and starts justifying a fake relationship of a wife with her husband when the wife is in love with another man. This is not ethical and a good example.
I hope I have been able to express my observation and understanding.
See if you are able to see this point in this perspective. If you agree, it will bring in more purity of thoughts if this example is rectified or kindly removed.
Hare Krishna.
Respected saint,
Hare Krishna, I am very please and thankful to you holy soul, who taught me about Krishna, in a simple manner, I am in love with krishna. I always in try to remember Krishna, but blessing of saint like you required me to progress in this way, I read Bhagavd Gita many time and daily routine but this is every time give new to me. your commentary also give me new positive thought and day to day progress to improve myself in love with Krishna.

Thank you for this newsletter on Krsna Consciousness as it applies to practical dharma concerns. This is important to me as it reminds me to focus on the Lord while taking care of material considerations.
I am delighted that you will be asking questions and providing examination to strengthen the lessons you have provided. That is a good idea and I think beneficial to your readers.
Last week, I ordered a new Bhagavad Gita which just happened to arrive yesterday, and I was also able to listen to the entire Song of God (all 18 chapters)that morning, over the internet. I delight in the Lord for all of these coincidences, this help, and your attentions to these issues, so thank you very much.

Dear Madhudvisa dasaji,
thanks for sending the bhagavad gita message. i do want to ask a question?
To survive in this material world , one has to struggle a lot even if he is a good person. moreover the practical situations in life , makes him to speak with anger and sometimes in depressive mood.
how to take everything in this life soft and calm. practically it is vv difficult.
sometimes , we used to think GOD Gives us more problems to face.,,, -

hare krsna prbji…pamho…
Thank you very much for your mails.. its all so wonderful; and also useful. through this mails we can easily study Bhagavad Gita.
In this news letter u said about exam. so wat we need to prepare for exams. is it we need to go through all the mails u send previously????
Prabhu I read your letter do I have to give up my occupation, When I read the gita I read give up everything and leave it behind and Krishna takes care of it.But I did that a few years a go, and I go to another country, to serve there and to learn more. And when I go back for sankirtan then I notice that there where a was leaving from, a lot of devotees love me, but they wanted me back also in Radhadesh Belgium, the commander for my service and others because they like me. But the problem is I do Harinama almost every day most of time in the city, and surrounding places or where a I am. My problem is that the message is clear from the gita, but there is not a ashram for people where Krishna talk about here, for leaving son man or woman etc, and the other problem is Sri Krishna Caitanya spoke about preaching or Harinama (sankirtan) in and around the place where you live.Thus what to do? Start a brahmacari ashram and a start collecting for sankirtana van or what? And then what Srila Prabhupada wrote when you dont have the money to go to India, start your own secluded place, make it holy I hope you wil react on my questions thank you in advance your servant Pieter Franciscus

all that what modern scientists do say about existance & theory of the origin & life on earth before millions of years ago is nowhere mentioned in Bhagwad gita.,it is not mentioned there that dinosaurs & other prehistoric creatures do existed & Human being appeared later on & he was not born with the consiousness that we Indians had developed later on as per our Spritual advancement.
so please do address me Guide me & clearify my doubt..
its really necessary for me………..HARE KRISHNA……….
Your posts are great!Thank you for bringing us in to Krishna conscious.Waiting for your next letter.
Hello, It is with great happiness that I read the wonderful teaching in your email to me. It seems that this email was meant for me to receive, today.
I, for the very first time, read the introduction to the Bhagavad Gita, today. I was just sent a copy of the book from a lovely man who is with ISKCON. We had a lot of snow in my area. My boss told me to stay at home, today. So, I read the introduction. Then, I opened your email. What a surprise that you are addressing the same subject.
I am very happy to be at the start of the Bhagavad Gita. I plan to read more this evening and over the weekend. We may have 30 inches of snow. So, this is a great weekend for me to connect spiritually with the spiritual sky as the sky opens with snow.
I have many questions about the different sects, groups within the Hindu community. Some talk of one god or another. Some tell me to chant the name of Krishna. Others tell me that all paths are good. I was born a Christian, but am now a member of a Buddhist Vihara (Sri Lankan). However, as I have read today, I am not one to label myself as being one thing and not another.
I am open to truth with my heart. Thank you so much for sharing with me. Your servant, Bruce -

Dear Madhudvisa-Dasaji,
Thanks a million for spreading the messages and meanings and explanations to the humanity. Your articles, while going through them, are immence sources of energy and inner strength. Each word of the Great Lord Krishna bears meanings that are useful in all the times to come.
Krishna stood always for the Truth – the Satya – , Justice – Nyaya – and the peaceful co-existance of people.
He never persuaded anyone to fight unless fight was the only way out to establish Nyaya- the justice. In other words, He always went to any extremity to establish truth and peace on earth.
Awaiting more and more articles from you,
Sincerely yours,
Sankara Narayanan
Dear Madhudvisa Dasji,
Thank you for your letters, for they give me all the answers for my questions.
The letters and the information, I get from you, are very precious to me.Sincerely yours
I see bhagavad gita as good as Koran and also I see veda as good as Islam,I won't forgive myself if I make difference between the ways Of god and his pure devotees.

hare krishna ali bhai,

Hare Krishna,
In Bhagavad Gita introduction, it is said that anyone who is trying to understand Bhagavad Gita without reference to the will of Krishna is making a big mistake. Could you explain what Krishna expects and wants from conditioned souls like us?
Hare Krishna Ali,
I am quoting from the same text ( Bhagavad Gita As It Is ) from a paragraph that follows shortly after the one that you mentioned:
[CODE]But in the present status of our life, we have not only forgotten the Supreme Lord, but we have forgotten our eternal relationship with the Lord. Every living being, out of many, many billions and trillions of living beings, has a particular relationship with the Lord eternally. That is called svarupa. By the process of devotional service, one can revive that svarupa, and that stage is called svarupa-siddhi–perfection of one's constitutional position.[/CODE]
Hence Krishna expects us to revive our relationship with Him.
Hare Krishna,
If you do want to go back home, back to Godhead, then you will automatically think of Krishna wherever you are – in hell or heaven.
Warm Regards,
Ganesh -
hari bol.humble namaskar to you madhu bhai
i have read all the article sent by you many times with full dedication , i am reading bhagwat gita from my college time, only for sake of gita, but not thinking so deeply… this is a marvalous job you are doing to man kind. though i read gita.. writen their you do karm and the fruit is not in your hand… leave in the hand of god… but holy prabhu i want to ask you one question.. i am trying hard to forget what i done to my children….caring..making them independent..all are well settle.. but no body care for me.. i live alone in the house.. all my children are abroad..
let me tell you i am widow, my husband died 25 years back.. at that time my all children were dependent on me… but when they become independent they all left me in a miserable condition…. what bhagwat GITA said about this… KARMO KA FALL…., YES WHAT I HAVE DONE IN PREVIOUS LIFE . but i just want to have peace of mind.. in this vary life.. i want you tell me how? i can attain this.. i am 65 years old women living in india… i am full devotee of SHIV.. I CHANT OM NAMO SHIYA DAILY…. BUT MIND IS NOT IN CONTROL…. HELP ME PRABHU… HARI OM … HARI OM.. -
Dear Madhudvisa Dasji,
I have read your article on "Do I have to give up my occupation to serve kirishna". From this article you have mentioned that to remember the Lord, we have hear the bhagavad gita from an experience person. Inother words, this means listening from a senior krishna consciousness devotee. However, what would be the situation if we can't find this kind of person to listen the bhagavad gita?? How else can we listen the bhagavad gita?
hare krishna,
dear madhudvisa dasji
very well said….we can remember our krishna while doing our work easily by chanting his divine and powerful names.As lord gourang used to say chant his names always no matter where u r who u r and in what condition u r….i really like your mails..and im always wating for them..thankyou for ur wonderful mails -
Respectful Pranams Madhudvisa dasaji,
The lessons are extremely thought provoking and sincere thanks for the insights. I have also attempted to read a few works of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and I have been inspired, mainly by the work "Krsna".
But there are a few unresolved questions which I humbly request consent to raise here:
1. In most of the literature there is a clear prescription to accept Krsna as the Supreme Godhead, which is easily understandable as a Krsna devotee.
But there is also a clear prescription to avoid praying to other "Demigods", because these will only result in certain specific material benefits and will not elevate to Supreme Godhead. This gives an impression that there are actually many different "Gods" each capable of doing something specific and not anything else. This is rather confusing since my understanding has been that as per our Vedic Principles there is really only one Supreme Authority, manifest in everything, who creates, controls and performs everything. We are taught that the Supreme Authority has no beginning or end; no definitions and hence no names. Each person according to his spiritual inclinations may call this Supreme Authority by any name, but they all relate to the same Supremeness.
So who are we actually referring to as "Krsna" here? Artists or poets may have given Krsna a particular physical form and features, but I am sure the real concept of Krsna is far more, since we are taught that everything is Krsna. If that is so what is wrong in saying that Krsna is also Shiva or any other name and if Krsna is Shiva, then is not Shiva also Krsna? So would it be incorrect to think that these are only different names or different forms which people have assigned for that one Supremeness and really there is no difference between any body's faiths. I raise this question because many people who are great devotees worship the Lord in different forms and different scriptures dedicated to that particular form state that form to be Supreme.Not to be critical of religions, but does not this thinking seem to align with other religions who advocate that "their" God or Messenger is the only "real" one and others are not so. I have always thought that Hindu philosophy is much higher, particularly the concept of a common unified OM.
2. Eating meat has been equated with illict sex, drinking liquor and gambling. Is it not the law of nature that human beings must eat some life form, be they animals, fish, animal products (like milk) or plants. There is so much confusion about "Sattvic" foods -some say eating fish is Ok, while other say drinking milk or eating butter and ghee is not.
Does what you eat really stand in the way of spiritual progress? Is it not really about giving up too much importance for food itself and learning to like and eat whatever is available?3. When will you feel that you have actually found out what work Krsna wanted one to actually do? Many times people end up feeling hopelessly out of place at their work and want to do something else. In western thinking it may be called" Uncovering your Passion" etc. We see people doing all kinds of things with their career. Some throw away big positions to do Social Work, other to pursue spiritual realization etc. What is the right approach?
I have asked so many questions. I will be deeply gratified if your Holiness will find time to answer my queries.
Vijay -
These lessons have been very beneficial and thorough.
I thought it was interesting and unexpected to see the use of an adulterous circumstance to illustrate how we are to keep Krishna in our thoughts even as we go about our daily existence.
Surely such a lesson is worthy of a more wholesome example?
Sir, Thank you very much for such wonderful letters. I came to the conclusion that suffering because of previous birth sins. But how to overcome sufferings arising because of previous birth sins. Please mail me with answer.
Dear Madhudvisa dasa
love to read the articles sent by you. these are very informative and help as guide to understand the Gita in right way
thank you so much -
hi,thanks once again for sending me recent study. i enjoyed it very much. please can you explain to me why krishna is not opposed to violence ? god is love and he asks us to love each other so why is he asking arjuna to fight.i am opposed to war because it is obvious to anyone that its orchestrated organised crime and the world is weary of wars.yet krishna seems to endorse it.please help me understand because i struggle with this.respect to you.gary
Respetable Guruji,
Please accept my humble obeisances. I have been receiving and reading the newsletter regularly for past few days and the content is really uplifting.
In this newsletter, you mentioned thinking of lord Krishna while performing our material activities. I completely agree with this statement if one is performing physical work, but how do you suggest the same to a person working mentally, say a researcher writing a research paper or thinking of new research opportunities? How can he focus his mind onto lord as well as to his work which requires mental attention at the same time?
Hoping to receive your suggestion.your servant

Hary Bol,
First, I find your newsletter inspiring and refreshing; so Thanks you!!
Quick question:
The mind is restless and difficult to control. In knowing this, what happens if one's tongue is engaged in chanting the hare krishna Maha Mantra but the mind wonders away and at this precise moment, while chanting and the mind aloof, death comes knocking? -
Hare Krishna!
i really like this newsletter… it has given me some valuable insights in understanding the essence of B.Gita…. -
Hare krishna prabhu,
AGTSP,It was a very inspiring article and i really enjoyed reading it. Especially, the reasons for reading Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
I just wanted to know, if there be any other example other than a man and a woman having relationships outside marriage on how to remember Krishna. My wife gave an example, Can it be substituted by a Mother thinking about her child, while she is at work.Hare krishna,

Hare Krishna,
First of all my sincere thanks for your mails.A great work is being done by you.Definately Iam trying to understand all the points, which are very nice and without krishna there is no happyness in life so first of all everyone must surrender unto the Supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna. -
Hare Krishna Hare Rama to all the readers,
Thanks alot for sending such beautiful extract of BhagvatGita.
Not able to understand that when He is the supreme power and I am in His shelter then what should I do and why?. I am doing my job by reciting his name and totally devoted to Him. I think that there is some misconceptions which we r not able to understand.
Anyhow plz continue sending mails, since I am devoted to Him this I know.
Thanks and Regards.Raghunath Rai
Hare Krishna,
First of all my sincere thanks for your mails.A great work is being done by you.
I just want to mention one thing about the example of a wife having illicit relation and the bond is compared to a very holy activity of remembering Krishna while doing our duties or work. Somehow this appears to be giving a negative example for a positive activity. If you ask me a better example would be : The person who wants to win a gold medal in the Olympics, let us say, will be thinking day in and day out about the ways and means to achieve it, though he is also employed but is to participate in the event. Similarly, a child who has extreme desire to get first in the class, he/she would be constantly thinking about how best it can be achieved even while playing or eating.
Kindly excuse me for my above comments if I am wrong. -
this is the answer to my questions, great newsletter today. Many thanks!
Dear Madhudvisa dasa Ji,

Hare Krishna To all the members.
Sir i m not able to control the restless mind & it takes me only towards lust. GOD has said he can't bear lust. Should i still take his holy name as i think indulging in l;ust & taking his name im doing insult to HIM & is doing vice so what should I do. shOULD I stop taking his name. How should i control my mind.
This is crime to krisna but i m feeling helpless only i haave to take control of myself but how?? is it possible.Pls suggest me on my mail my mail id is firstname.lastname@example.com-
Please accept my greetings. Yes the mind of any human being is always restless. I have one suggestion, from which I myself gained a lot, that is : 1. First of all surrender to Krishna and tell him that You are helpless and in a condition which only Krishna can help. 2. Ask Him to show the ways to control mind and bring it to the feet of Krishna.
May be many many times with sincere heart we need to utter the above.
A day will come when you realize that, suddenly things are changed and your mind is attracted to Krishna and Krishna only.And happiness without any reason will be experienced within you. That is the beginning of Real Enjoyment of mind.
I hope and wish the day is very near when you are happy within and Krishna shows you the path.
Haribol prabhu,
Thank you for your newsletters – much appreciated.
I was a devotee many years ago and am no longer practicing but I still appreciate the Gita very much (and you have helped rekindle my dormant affection for the Lord).
Just a point about this section. You cite the example of the husband/wife that constantly meditate on their lover. If the acharyas cite this as an example, I am not trying to critisize but I do find it a little immoral – after all it is subtly condoning adultery.
I would appreciate your thoughts/clarification on the matter.
Vasudama das.-
Hare Krishna,
My hearty obeisances to you.First of all I felt happy that you happend to be devotee for many years but I felt sad that you are no more practicing.
Basically Krishna, the Creater of the Universe, Creater of Everything practically is very kind to anybody who calls him for help. He will give problems only to bring people close to him so that they start moving towards upliftment in the spiritual life. The Chanting makes the man slowly reduce the material attachments and bringdown the desires. Kindly once again surrender to Krishna and tell him to show his kindness even for a moment, then the heaps of sins accumulated within us will vanish and leaving everything to Him will bring extreme peace within.
Kindly try and inform me.
May Krishna give us more opportunities to communicate and exchange feelings.
great day sir,i'm bit confused about Krishna, I want to know who is Krishna, with no other complaints thank you for your inspireable messages.HARE GOD,HARE CHRIST

I give my friends my best vegetarian recipes and lo0ok at all the karma and health risks are avoided if one follows these supreme religious principals and if ypou think about its just plain common sense and the world will be peaceful if one knows that Krsna is the supreme lord, owner of all planets and universes and the source and best wisher of all living entitys.

See Understanding Techniques for WCAG Success Criteria for important information about the usage of these informative techniques and how they relate to the normative WCAG 2.0 success criteria. The Applicability section explains the scope of the technique, and the presence of techniques for a specific technology does not imply that the technology can be used in all situations to create content that meets WCAG 2.0.
All technologies
This failure relates to:
Whether a user interface component has focus is a particularly important facet of its state. Many types of assistive technology rely on tracking the current keyboard focus. Screen readers will move the user's point of regard to the focused user interface component, and screen magnifiers will change the display of the content so that the focused component is visible. If assistive technology is not notified when focus moves to a new component, the user will become confused when they attempt to interact with the wrong component.
While user agents usually handle this functionality for standard controls, custom-scripted user interface components are responsible for using accessibility APIs to make focus information and notifications available.
A custom menu displays menu items by rendering them explicitly, handling mouse and key events directly and highlighting the currently selected menu item. The programmer does not expose the menu item that has focus via the Accessibility API, so assistive technology can only determine that focus is somewhere within the menu and cannot determine which menu item has focus.
Resources are for information purposes only, no endorsement implied.
Using the accessibility checker for the technology (or if that is not available, inspect the code or test with an assistive technology), check the controls to see if they expose the focus state through the accessibility API.
Using the accessibility checker for the technology (or if that is not available, inspect the code or test with an assistive technology), check whether assistive technology is notified when focus moves from one control to another.
If Check #1 or Check #2 is false, then this failure condition applies and the content fails this Success Criterion.

Ford Transit DURATORQ Engines In Bournemouth
N/ABody style
There are now more than 450 Ford Transit variants from minibuses to panel vans. Somewhere in that huge line-up there is a Transit van for every occasion. When you combine the sales of the Transit Custom and the Transit Connect, you have the sixth biggest selling vehicle in the UK, more than the BMW 3 Series and only 600 behind the vastly popular VW Golf. Despite the wide variety of Transit models, the current range all use the 2.2 litre four cylinder diesel engine which comes in 3 power outputs and a six speed manual transmission. Ford says that the Transit's current range is now more car-like than any big Ford Van before it. The dash design will be familiar to most drivers of Ford non commercial vehicles. The steering wheel, instruments, audio controls and a lot of the switch gear is actually all lifted straight out of the car range. Its biggest claim to being car-like is in the vehicles refinement. You actually only hear the engine at the top end of its output and the cabin is free from wind and road noise. The ride itself is considered to be very smooth even with loads upto 500k and the steering is consistent and precis Ford has now improved panel van load volumes by 10% across the range, added a raft of new technology features and made the van easier to drive. The biggest Transit Jumbo models are still not quite on the scale of its largest rivals, many of which offer more powerful engine options as well, but the Transit's efficiency is a match for anything out there. It's an impressive feat of engineering by Ford. Here at MKL Motors, we aim to offer high quality replacement Ford Transit DURATORQ Engines In Bournemouth. However, due to the nature of the usage of commercial vans, its not always possible to find a good quality used Ford Transit DURATORQ Engines In Bournemouth and the option of a brand new Transit engine is uneconomical due to their hefty price tag.
