 “Bhakti, or devotional service, means engaging all our senses in the service of the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the master of all the senses (Hrishikesha). When the spirit soul renders service unto the Supreme, there are two side effects. One is freed from all material designations, and, simply by being employed in the service of the Lord, one's senses are purified.” (Narada-pancharatra)

The Easy Way
by Krishnas Mercy on 02/15/2010 2:54AM
 “The Lord's form is always youthful. Every limb and every part of His body is properly formed, free from defect. His eyes and lips are pinkish like the rising sun. He is always prepared to give shelter to the surrendered soul, and anyone so fortunate as to look upon Him feels all satisfaction. The Lord is always worthy to be the master of the surrendered soul, for He is the ocean of mercy.” (Narada Muni, Shrimad Bhagavatam, 4.8.46)

Curing the Fever
by Krishnas Mercy on 06/19/2009 7:24PM
 When we are struck with a raging fever, it seems that all hope is lost. Our body’s temperature rapidly increases and it seems that there is pain everywhere. We feel chills throughout our body and it is difficult to even get up out of bed. That’s where medicine comes in. A simple over-the-counter pain killer comes to our rescue.

Mega Memory
by Krishnas Mercy on 07/06/2009 5:02AM
