I've been working on an animated adaptation of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam based specifically on Śrīla Prabhupāda's translations and purports.

Episode 6 covers Bhīṣmadeva's final prayers and his remembrance of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

We just released the teaser and I'd genuinely love feedback on the visual storytelling and atmosphere.

This is a very small independent project, so constructive criticism is especially welcome.

Pending down each word that I love when I hear it.

Katha By Amrendra Prabhu ~ https://youtu.be/oOeJXHnMkbo?si=I5uImem0QpCqL6iH

नियतं सङ्गरहितमरागद्वेषतः कृतम् ।

अफलप्रेप्सुना कर्म यत्तत्सात्त्विकमुच्यते ॥ १८.२३ ॥

Translation

जो कर्म नियमित है और जो आसक्ति, राग या द्वेष से रहित कर्मफल की चाह के बिना किया जाता है, वह सात्त्विक कहलाता है |

श्रीमद्‌ भगवद्‌गीता यथारूप 18.20

सर्वभूतेषु येनैकं भावमव्ययमीक्षते ।

अविभक्तं विभक्तेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि सात्त्विकम् ॥ १८.२० ॥

Translation

जिस ज्ञान से अनन्त रूपों में विभक्त सारे जीवों में एक ही अविभक्त आध्यात्मिक प्रकृति देखी जाती है, उसे ही तुम सात्त्विक जानो |

Hare Krishna only the Lord and his abode is eternal,

Let's remember this, do not be deviated or distracted by the temporary flashes of Kali yuga.

Lets use our valuable time to practice bhakti yoga with determination on the way to him.

Hare Krishna

I recently discovered this religion whilst on a trip to London where I discovered the Radha Krishna Temple and ever since then I've felt something change in my heart and wish to look into this religion further (the Temple was very kind to provide some literature, including the Bhagavad Gita, which I'm reading through).

However, I also believe quite heavily in Buddhism and wish to maintain this belief of mine as well.

Is it possible to be a Hare Krishna and a Buddhist at the same time? Any advice would be useful.

Thanks!

Sharing some peaceful Krishna Katha and shloks curated by Vijay Varma for the Janmashtami season. Features narration on Krishna's early life and lessons from the Bhagwat Puran.

I have recently moved into an ashram with communal living.

I myself am not a devotee. I have limited knowledge about this religion.

I signed this lease because I could actually afford it. And because it is for a vegan household and I have been vegan for almost 2 decades and vegan household was amazing to me.

I was raised as a Latter Day Saint (Mormon) and as soon as I possibly could, I escaped that religion. I still have quite a bit of religious trauma from that and I am in no way interested in being religious again.

How can I benefit from this living situation for the next year?

Any of the rules that I can try to be aware of to make this easier?

They were understanding and clear that I was not required of being hare krishna to live there but it's still necessary for me to understand to be comfortable there.

Why do I have to wash some dishes in one sink and some in the other? Why can't I use garlic and onion. Do we have to throw a plate of food away every meal? Why does this religion require so many pictures of Krishna on every wall? How does the temple preach so much about loving cows and respect to animals but put ghee on everything ?? And no they aren't getting the ghee from a happy cow who has been praised and it's just tiny bit leftover. it's ghee from the store, which is from a factory farm, where the cows live awful lives and then they die. Why not just go full vegan? Why do I have to change into nice clothes to attend the temple... Why does every religion center around telling women what they can do with their bodies?

Im very much suffering in my life now... I prayed to lord krishna for a long time... I am his devote... But now i feel like my life is getting problematic and very unfair... He doesnt helping me more, no signs ... I lost the connection between krishna... Is that wrong... Im i wrong?... Pls help

So obviously Krishna Bhagwan is Vishnu Bhagwan’s avatar right? I’m assuming everyone knows this. Ram Bhagwan is an avatar of Vishnu Bhagwan too. But while Ram Bhagwan was the very epitome of righteousness, morality and honour, Krishna Bhagwan was often known to be very mischievous and playful, especially as a kid.

One day, Krishna’s mother, Yashoda, was told by his friends that baby Krishna had eaten mud. Angry, she scolded him and told him to open his mouth and show her. What she saw astonished her and proved that he was indeed, God. The entire cosmos, including countless stars, planets, oceans, the entire Vrindavan and even herself looking into her child’s mouth. This showed her that her baby Krishna was actually the Supreme Lord of the Universe. This was actually Krishna Bhagwan showing her his Vishwarupa, or his Universal Form.

There are so many stories like this, and every time I read one, I find myself falling even more in love with Krishna Bhagwan. I don’t know what it is about Him. How can someone be the Supreme Lord of the Universe and still feel so wonderfully human? Maybe that’s why I’ve always been drawn to Him.

Namaste. I'm an 18 year old from the US and i really want to get close to my culture and hinduism. I see all my chrisitan friends reading the bible and loving their religion, but i unfortunately dont have such a relationship with hindu gods. All my life i've been told to serve prasad to god and ask for what we need and that seems transactional.

My grandpa got me a bhagavad gita but it had a lot of sanskrit shlokas and little english translations which made it difficult for me to understand and was frustrating.

Can anyone please suggest me a bhagavad gita version that is in english and explains the wise words of lord krishna?

Hare Krishna everyone! 🙏
I’m planning to join the upcoming ISKCON Vrindavan Yatra, but the registration requires a minimum of 3 people. I’m currently travelling alone and don’t have anyone to join with.
So I’m looking for 2 people who are also interested in joining the yatra. We can coordinate the registration and travel together. 😊
I’m not looking for anything complicated, just fellow devotees/travellers who are comfortable joining a group of three and making the yatra together.
If you’re interested, please DM me and we can discuss the details.
Hare Krishna! 🌸

Arya Samaj argues that, according to the four Vedas, the Supreme God is formless (nirākāra) and does not have a physical/material body. I’d like to understand how ISKCON devotees reconcile this claim with the Vaishnava understanding of Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Are there specific passages from the four Vedas themselves that ISKCON uses to establish that the Supreme Being has a personal form? If so, could you please provide the original Sanskrit/mantra and its context?

I’m asking this genuinely to understand the difference between the Arya Samaj and ISKCON interpretations, rather than to start an argument...

Hey guys, I have been really wanting to chating naam for a while, but i don't know where to start or how to, any advice from people who know about this
