The Holy Name Will Knock at The Door of Your Heart For Spiritual Awakening | ISV | 19 Jun 2021

Feb 03 2025 10 mins

From a letter that Prabhupada had written to send to the police: Our basic mission is to propagate the saṅkīrtana movement chanting the holy names of God all around the world, as was recommended by the incarnation of the Lord Śrī Caitanya, Mahāprabhu.

There was a pūjārī here for many years, taking care of this Deity, and something amazing happened to him that increased his faith a million-fold in Advaita Ācārya. Should I say what it is? He was sitting here one day, and he saw Westerners come here. They were chanting just like we were when we came in, and they were offering obeisances to Advaita Ācārya and walking over. It

Everybody needs encouragement. The world is a discouraging place; true or false? (audience : True) That's very discouraging. There's a way in which you can be our first recruiter.

So, one point that Rūpa Gosvāmī makes about the practice of bhakti is that one should never assume that one knows why one is doing it. And it's always a good question to say, 'Why am I doing this?' before engaging in a practice of bhakti. So, I have a question that we can entertain over the next couple of minutes: Why are you here? Why are you chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa today? Bu

Also, please make a concerted effort to read Prabhupāda's books again and again. He said, 'Everything I had to say, I said in my books.' And there's even more than just gathering information. When you read Prabhupāda's books, you're getting his association. So make it something that, even if it's just a little bit every day, try to hear something from Prabhupāda's books and go t

I was thinking, so many people are going to the Kumbh Melā, everyone's looking for that one-time place where they can dip in and then be like, 'Okay, I'm elevated, I'm rectified,' whatever motive there is. But this felt to me like the perfect Kumbh Melā. It's coming together to chant. You're hitting the exact spot. There is no point at which one can be more perfectly situated tha
