(Lecture given on ISKCON’s 30th anniversary New Delhi 2006)

On this most auspicious day 30 years ago in New York city on lower east side Srila Prabhupada incorporated the International Society for Krsna Consciousness, popularly known as ISKCON. Somehow or other by the causeless mercy of the Lord we have all contacted this movement. By contacting this movement established by Srila Prabhupada we have come in direct contact with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the sweet loving boy of Vrndavana – Govinda Deva, Krsna, Gopinatha, Syamasunder.

Tattva Darsan 3 – 18. Try for bhakti, not job or sorrow

We were speaking with Varsha earlier about how no one tries for misery, no one tries to be miserable, no one tries for unhappiness, no one tries for suffering, no one tries for anxiety, no one tries for pain, no one works hard, day and night to get suffering!

Tattva Darsan 3 – 7. Japa only, no other sevas

There are different kinds of sevas. So at different times, we do different sevas. So nama-seva. It's called Harinama seva, japa seva, that’s also a seva and that time, we have to follow the instructions of the acaryas about what we should do at that time while we are chanting japa.

Jagannatha Mahima – In love there are no rules

(Excerpt from lecture series on Caitanya Caritamrta, Kartik 2007, Day 06: Pundarika Vidyanidhi Slapped by the Lords)

There is a phrase – In love there are no rules, and in rules there is no love. Interesting phrase, so in the loving exchanges there are no rules to follow. “Oh you can’t touch me there. You can’t do this or that.” There is no rule. In love there is no rule.
