Blue Cows and Deer of Govardhan Hill
Sometimes while doing Govardhan parikrama (circumambulation of Govardhan Hill) one sees many peacocks, parrots, and on very rare occasions, some deer and blue cows (locally known as neel gaay). It is said that seeing a neel gaay is auspicious. So here I am sharing this auspicious video footage of neel gaays which I took one winter in Govardhan. Soundtrack is Go… Continue

Dandavat Pranams,Jaya Srila Gurudeva!Preaching the message of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is something I never did before this year.I dunno,I suppose I kept it to myself because I was afraid of having something so dear to me rejected or ridiculed by anyone.Lately,many of my coworkers have inquired about KRSNA consciousness,reincarnation,karma etc...I have distributed 5 Bhagavad Gitas & numerous booklets of Gurudevas & have taken a few of my nondevotee friends to Temple to see Sri Sri Radha V… Continue
The Highest Vaisnava Sees Himself as the Lowest of All
Originally published in The Gaudiya, Volume 24, Issue 7
Those who are fit possess an abundant power of devotion. They are strong.
I should not apply myself to finding out the shortcomings of the Vaishnavas, condemning service to Lord Visnu or seeking to establish my own point of view by neglecting the method that may enable me to serve the Lord and His devotees.
No language can describe the havoc that is wrought in human life by such arr… Continue

Through the endless verdant forest, Sri Caitanya roams
In the jungle Jharikhanda, this time so happy on His own.
In His blissful mood, the Lord’s ecstasy soars
Dancing with the elephants, to the tigers’ delighted roars!
He and they, together again! – the animals had no fears, Theirs the greatest fortune when Mahaprabhu appears.
Imagine that! The Supreme Himself, playing at the role
Of His own greatest devotee, calling, “ Hari Hari bol!”
Bringing love of God for all, without any reserve
distribu… Continue
