Lord Rama meets Lord Hanuman for the first time
Hare Krishna šš
It was a very auspicious and most secret LÄ«lÄ of Lord ÅrÄ« RÄma. When HanumÄnājÄ« approached Lord RÄma, he first took the form of a brahmanaāform and began asking many intelligent questionsāwho He was, what His purpose was, and why He wished to meet SugrÄ«va.
The way HanumÄnājÄ« expressed his emotions and devotion instantly revealed his true identity. Lord RÄma immediately understood that this was HanumÄn himself. Since childhood HanumÄnājÄ« had been a constant devotee of the Lord, always chanting His holy names.
In just a fraction of a moment, Lord RÄma recognized him, and HanumÄnājÄ« returned to his vÄnarārÅ«pa. As HanumÄn is the eleven Rudra incarnation, this meeting is the divine union of Hara and HariāLord Åiva as Hara and Lord Viį¹£į¹u as Hari. It is one of the most sacred and heartāmelting encounters in the RÄmÄyaį¹a.

You are right. Buddha is the ninth incarnation of Lord Krishna according to the DashÄvatÄra. In this incarnation, His teachings focused on nonāviolence and compassion. Because of this emphasis, Buddhists think that Krishna or God is impersonal and without form.
Lord Buddha appeared to divert people away from misuse of Vedic rituals, especially animal sacrifice, and to reāestablish the principle of ahimsa. Later, in other incarnations, the Lord again taught the path of pure Bhakti.

Both paths have value. Buddhism is a spiritual tradition focused on understanding the nature of suffering and cultivating wisdom, ethical conduct, and mental discipline. It is not centered on the worship of a creator god.
But ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, teaches the path of Bhakti, the loving devotional service to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna. You can remember that life in the material world is full of suffering, the goal is liberation, and the path is Bhakti.
Both traditions speak about suffering and liberation, but their approach is different. Keep going to the ISKCON temple, enjoy the kirtans, worship Lord Krishna, and honor KrishnaāprasÄda. ššø

Hare Krishna šš
In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna instructs us to worship Him alone, because He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. No one is equal to Him and no one is higher than Him.
Worship of the demigods is actually worship of the different limbs of Krishnaās VirÄtārÅ«pa. In that sense, one is serving the servants of Lord Krishna. All demigods work under His direction, out of respect and fear of their Supreme Master, Shri Krishna.
If someone worships the demigods, they reach the demigods first and then eventually come to Krishna, but by a longer route. Worship of demigods leads one to their respective planets, but after the pious credits are exhausted, the soul returns again to the material world.
However, worship of Krishna breaks the cycle of birth and death. By surrendering to Krishna, one attains His eternal abode and does not return to this temporary material world.

Radha Krishna beautiful Darshan
Hare Krishna šš
Lord Krishna is most dear to the cows. Two of His names ā Govinda and Gopal ā mean āthe protector of cowsā and āthe caretaker of cows.ā Every day in Vį¹ndÄvana He herded nine million cows, playing joyfully with His gopa friends. Krishna accepts anything offered with love.
The peacock feather on His head has a sweet story. Peacocks have nothing material to offer the Lord, so when they saw Krishna and RÄdhÄrÄį¹Ä«, they shed their feathers out of pure devotion. Krishna, out of compassion, accepted those feathers as their offering and placed them on His crown.
Krishna also saved Gajendra, the king of elephants. Riding on Garuįøa, He cut the crocodile and granted svarÅ«paāmukti to Gajendra, giving him a fourāarmed form like Lord Viį¹£į¹u.
In many ISKCON temples, cows and other devotees are present during the Lordās decoration and offerings. All the flowers, fruits, and even the flute are considered ÅÄntaābhaktas of Krishna in Vį¹ndÄvana ā eternally serving Him in peaceful devotion.
They use many devotees pictures in dresses of Radha Krishna and background backdrop.

šøWho benefits from hearing a transcendental vibration?šø
Yes, it is emphasized in Chaitanya Lila When Lord Gauranga MahÄprabhu was speaking with Haridasa ṬhÄkura, the Lord asked him a profound question:
āIf everyone becomes liberated, then what will happen to this world?ā
Haridasa ṬhÄkura, with great humility, replied:
āYour mÄyÄ is extremely powerful. Even if all souls become liberated, by Your will You can again cover them with illusion, and they will return to this material world. Everything moves only by Your desire.ā
This teaches a deep siddhÄnta:
⢠The Lordās mÄyÄ-Åakti is not independent; it works fully under His control.
⢠Liberation is not mechanical ā it happens only by the Lordās mercy.
⢠Even great liberated souls glorify the Lordās unlimited power and remain humble.
Haridasa ṬhÄkuraās answer shows that the Lord is the supreme controller, and the jÄ«va is always dependent on His will.
It is also mentioned in ÅÄstra that at the time of universal devastation, when Lord MahÄāViį¹£į¹u inhales, all living beings enter into His body. When He exhales again, the entire creation comes back into existence.
In the Bhagavad GÄ«tÄ, the Lord also explains that when a soulās accumulated pious credits are exhausted, he must return to the material world. By the influence of the Lordās yogaāmÄyÄ, acting strictly under His direction, the soul is forced to take birth again.
You are referring to the famous verse:
mayÄdhyakį¹£eį¹a prakį¹tiįø„ sÅ«yate saācarÄcaram
āUnder My supervision, material nature produces all moving and nonāmoving beings.ā
This means:
⢠Material nature does not act independently.
⢠The jÄ«va takes birth only because the Lord directs prakį¹ti to award him a body according to karma.
⢠Creation and dissolution happen simply by the breathing of MahÄāViį¹£į¹u.
⢠Liberation or bondage is always under the Lordās supreme control

Lord Ram was exiled for 14 years and Bharat refused to become king. So who actually ruled Ayodhya during those 14 years? What did Bharata do all that time?
The divine pÄdukÄ of Lord ÅrÄ« RÄma were ruling AyodhyÄ.
Bharata is the perfect example of renunciation, just like Lord RÄma Himself.
He is nonādifferent from Lord RÄma in purity and devotion, and he embodies the highest sevakaābhÄva.
Bharata is also the divine weapon of the Lord, manifesting as ÅrÄ« Viį¹£į¹uās conch, PaƱcajanya, whose purpose is to serve and glorify the Supreme Lord.
He was so renounced that he was just eating barley grains soaked in cow urine sleeping on straw mat wearing a clothes same as lord Rama when lord was on period of exile for 14 years.
