The Nature of True Devotees
The devotees are ever engaged in the service of God. No tendency towards anything else, no other thought or deed besides that service, finds any opportunity to cast its shadow over the souls of those bhakti-yogīs, who are incessantly communing with God and are entirely dedicated to Him.
Two kind of darshan can be there, one is Guru darshan and the other is laghu darshan
Guru darshan means to realize each and everything meant for Guru-puja not for our sensual enjoyment. Whereas laghu darshan means to watch everthing with enjoying mood. The term “Darshan” is not the perfect translation of the word Philosophy because Philosophy the...
Who is ready to sell his own head unto the lotus feet of the paramahaṁsa sād-guru, to attain absolute success?
Who is suggesting that with anarthas Haribhajan is possible?

If we like to get one drop of honey, and if we are given the facility to grind and paste all flowers, will it be possible for us to get one drop of honey? All our Paramhasa Guruvarga, they are all like honey bees, because they can collect the essence from different scriptural analyses for us, which is surely not possible for us. From Srimad Bhagavatam we know…
Trap of Emotion
Nothing can be gained by running away from the unpleasant world in which
we live, by diving and plunging into the bliss of realization. Our spiritual
happiness is quite unimportant, rather an impediment. Her and His happiness is everything. Even with the greatest enthusiasm and inspite of all trances of bliss we must go step by step, otherwise we believe we are on a high stage but are only on an emotional, mind made stage.
Circumambulation of Sree Nabadwipdham
One who undertakes the pilgrimage of Sree Nabadwipdham with the conviction and in pursuance of the method of the empiric historian and antiquarian, will certainly enrich the range of his worldly experience which he values. But he will miss the spiritual end which is declared by the Scriptures to be attainable by the performance of the journey under the guidance of the sadhus.
Varnashram Dharma Vs. Attma Dharma
Gauḍīya Goṣṭhī Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda was given the responsibility by Śrīla Saccidananda Bhaktivinod Ṭhākura for the installation of daiva varṇāśrama in our society in a very effective way to avoid disorder and disrespect visible in our society in the name of varṇāśrama-dharma. Some misconceptions can be there about this system, but some misuse of this subject matter can also be seen going on purposely.
Smriti and vi-smriti (Memory and loss of memory)
“Smriti and vismriti” (memory & lost of memory) these two are the most vital points to be considered in the way of sādhana-bhajana. Smriti is sādhana and is the vitals of sādhya (The attainable object in the way of our bhajana) and vi-smriti is nothing but the deviation from that. All different kinds of vidhi and niṣedhāḥ belong to these two words; again all rāga or priti and virāga or repulsion– these two factors are dependent on these two words.
Sat & Asat saṅga
Almost in all śāstras such judgment of sat and asat can be found. Not only those Vaiṣṇavas or paramartik group, but also any religious sampradāya, they all thinking about the judgment of sat and asat, even those general ethical sampradāyas—they also thinking about the judgment of sat and asat. But there is a havoc difference of view which can be found on this topic of sat and asat among them. Why? That is the vital question. What is sat? What is asat?
“Saṅga & Smriti” (Association and memory)
Who is having more paṇḍitya or who is more geniuses, who can live on by storing air inside the body or who can stay naked or who can bear the pressure of hot and cold to undergo tapasyā or who is brahmacārī or who is gṛhastha or who is sannyāsī or who is from a high family race or who is very healthy or who is very good looking?—By those judgments the variation of bhagavat-bhaktas cannot be calculated. Who is having more attention about the loveful memory of Śrī Śrī Gurudeva or more strong desire to search out the best possible way to give full satisfaction to Śrī Śrī Hari-Guru-Vaiṣṇava or alternative way we can say that—Who is trying how much more to arrange the loveful seva satisfaction of Śrī Śrī Hari-Guru-Vaiṣṇava?– Based on that factor the variation of bhagavat-bhaktas can be calculated or can be understood.
