Krishna Temple Talks

<p>Though the acreage was empty and the obstacles rose, like a winter that never would draw to a close, by the kindness of Krishna, the struggle is stayed, and a palace of marble in glory is laid.

<p>In ancient lore, we are told the story of Prahlad, a 5 year old boy /whose faith in Krishna was pure and bold. Ignited from within the womb, his love for the Lord shone like the moon.

<p>Yo, listen to the tale of the man and the wood,/Sitting where the branches of the Kalpavriksha stood. He wanted a bed, and the velvet appeared,/He wanted a feast, and the table was cleared.

<p>God is not old. He’s ever fresh. When we stay in touch with Him thru chanting, we stay in touch with His freshness. We stay in touch with youthfulness.

<p>I know a young man named Chaitanya Charan. He was a top-ranked student in India, a brilliant engineer. He did exactly what society told him to do.

He was the first in the history of his university to achieve […]</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.utahkrishnas.org/surrendering-the-outcome/">Surrendering the Outcome</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.utahkrishnas.org">Radha Krishna Temple in Utah</a>.</p>

<p>Prabhupada, “If I work in some ordinary man’s service, he gives me protection. Don’t you think if you work for Kṛṣṇa, He’ll not give you protection? Because you have no faith, therefore we are seeking protection from elsewhere.” Kṛṣṇa offers you full protection if you keep him first place. Not your society, friendship and love.

<p>In the age of Kali, the Name alone grants release. Bringing to every embodied soul the ultimate peace.

<p>After having compiled the voluminous Vedic literature—the four Vedas, the Mahābhārata, the eighteen Purāṇas, and the Vedānta-sūtra—Śrīla Vyāsadeva, the literary incarnation of God, felt profoundly unhappy and restless.

<p>In the purport to Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 1/13 Prabhupada says, “Everyone wants to be served. Nobody wants to serve. This is the material conception of life.

<p>Yo, listen up close, this is a plea to the mind, To shed all the pretense and leave lies behind. I’m begging you sweetly, right at your feet, For a love that’s intense, a passion complete.
