Hare Krsna, In BG 7.15, Krsna mentions who the demons are before elaborating more on their characteristics and nature in Chapter 16 of BG. The Lord says, “Four kinds of people do not surrender unto Me—those ignorant of knowledge, those who lazily follow their lower nature though capable of knowing Me, those with deluded intellect,Continue reading “SB 3.17.1-31: Qualities and Characteristics of the Demoniac Nature”

Hare Krsna, In the various scriptures, it is said that Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There may be many gods, from Brahmā, Lord Śiva, Indra and Candra down to the rulers of the lower planetary systems, the presidents, ministers, chairmen and kings. Actually Viṣṇu is the Supreme Lord, but there is even oneContinue reading “SB 3.16.26-37: Thy Will Be Done”

Hare Krsna, It is the greatness and humility of Lord Krsna that He thinks His transcendental glories have increased because of His devotion to His servitors. Lord Krsna is full in six kinds of opulences – fame, beauty, wealth, power, knowledge, and renunciation. He is the reservoir and source of all qualities. He is theContinue reading “SB 3.16.7-25: Meditations on Mutual Appreciation”

Hare Krsna, It is encouraging to hear that when one is in a Vaikuntha planet, even if by chance one commits an offense, he is protected by the Lord. I do not accept that any devotee can commit an offense in the spiritual world. This is because in spiritual world (Vaikuntha), everything is suddha-sattva orContinue reading “SB 3.16.1-6: The Lord’s Love and Care for His Devotees”

Hare Krsna, In the sixth chapter of Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krsna explains the process of meditation and dhyana-yoga to Arjuna.  In this chapter, Krsna describes astanga-yoga in greater detail as a means to control the mind and the senses. The word “yoga” means linking with the Supreme. When the linking process is predominantly in fruitiveContinue reading “SB 3.15.43-45: What is the Goal of Meditation and Yoga?”

Hare Krsna, At first, I was hesitant to write on this forum topic because of my ignorance of life in the spiritual world. It is impossible for a materially imprisoned person like me to say something about the spiritual world for the simple reason that I have never seen that transcendental abode of the Lord.Continue reading “SB 3.15.32-42: Life in the Material World vs. Life in the Spiritual World”

Hare Krsna, Anger is not absent in the spiritual world. Everything that exists in the material world exists in the spiritual world but in a purest form. The perverted reflection of such things exists in the material realm being contaminated by the three modes of material nature. Even though Bhagavad Gita 18.54 says: brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmānaContinue reading “SB 3.15.20-31: Anger Even in the Liberated State”

Hare Krsna, To hear about the abode of the Lord gives me immense pleasure. Just to know that there is another world, away from this material world, that is completely pure, transcendental, 100% Krsna consciousness, full of eternity, knowledge and bliss, where is there full of love and devotion for the sweet Lord uplifts myContinue reading “SB 3.15.1-19: Meditations on Vaikuntha”

Hare Krsna, Srimad Bhagavatam is replete with pastimes related to chastisement and benediction. In this chapter we have seen how Kasyapa first chastises Diti for interrupting her husband’s evening duties. He curses her that she will give birth to two demoniac sons who will cause constant lamentation to all the three worlds. SB 3.14.38-41: TheContinue reading “SB 3.14.31-51: Chastisement and Benediction”

Hare Krsna, We have been taught that there is a proper time, place and circumstances for everything. This principle even applies to cultivating good grhastha-asrama and giving birth to good progeny. Insanity is acting according to one’s own whims and fantasies disregarding scriptural injunctions and still expecting good results. The Vedic literatures are the lawsContinue reading “SB 3.14.16-30: The Gṛhastha-āśrama and Good Progeny”
