He was born in 1450 A.D. And his parents named him Mohammed Sikander Khan. He renounced family life at a young age and converted to…
Specialty of Bhaktivinode Thakur’s Community Srila Thakur obedient to the cult of Sri Rupa and Swarupa ascertains that attachment to Sri Nama Kirtans more than the attachment to Archan (worshipping). The Holy Name is the spiritual sound and Khol is the machine. Had we not been born in the line of Sri Bhaktivinode the Sriman…
Competitive Spirit If we study the example set by all our previous acharyas, we will find that competition is not a religious principle. Nowadays, however, we see that in the Vaishnava Sampradaya, especially the Sri Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Saraswata Sampradaya, almost all societies, and acharyas are trying to show that they are better than the…
Surrender to Krishna Gives Life In the Bhagavad-Gita (18.66), Sri Krishna told Arjuna, “Abandon all varieties of religion (sarva-dharman) and take exclusive shelter of Me. I shall deliver you from the reactions of your sinful activities. Do not fear.” sarva-dharman indicates “all kinds of religious attitudes.” This means that we must without hesitation reject all…

The Story of Ekalavya Once, when Arjuna, the celebrated Pandava, was still a boy, he, his brothers, and his cousins studied the military sciences from the great master Dronacharya. At that time, Ekalavya, the son of Hiranyadhanu, the king of an aboriginal tribe, was moved by his faith to approach Dronacharya and request him for…
The Departure of Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj Our sampradaya’s prominent personality, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja, physically left all of us on the 4th of July 2020. I feel a lot of separation, remembering our association from the previous days. I witnessed how Srila Charu Maharaja used to come to my spiritual…
A Dangerous Example Srila Prabhupada Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur explains that Krishna, bhakti, and the bhakta partake of the same absolute nature. A devotee enjoys a special position because the Lord is favorably inclined to him. On the other hand, a non-devotee may have many good qualities and moral virtues according to the standards…
Pure Devotion – Wish of Every Devotee It is sad to say that in our contemporary Gaudiya Vaishnava community, many of us are Vaishnavas in name only. We make a show of devotion, but what we are calling devotion is in fact the observance of a few rules of moral behavior at best. In essence,…
