Although nobody likes to suffer everyone is forced to suffer, even the so-called rich, powerful, famous successful people. But there is no need for so much suffering. All everyone has to do to become free from this suffering is to revive their original Krishna consciousness, which is now lying dormant within their hearts. This is done by reconnecting with the Supreme Person by serving Him with love. This simple method can be practiced even by a young child. Simply one has to bow down to Krishna or God, become His devotee, worship Him, and offer one's homage to Him. In this way one will become fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness 24 hours a day and forever be free from all the sufferings of this material existence. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Teaching the Secrets of Uninterrupted Supreme Bliss 26 September--Tallinn, Estonia http://www.backtohome.com/images/2011-Fall/Tallinn_Lecture1.JPG Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: Question: Of Secrets I Am Silence. Hare Krishna. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Please accept my respectful obeisances unto you, How do you understand Prabhupada's instruction about silence in Bhagavad-gita 10:38 when he says, "..silence is most important because by silence one can make progress very quickly."? J. Raul Answer: Avoid Nonsense As Much As Possible To be practiced in the art of silence means to not hear or speak any mundane nonsense or to at least avoid it as much as possible. Instead one should hear and chant about Krishna as much as possible. Such chastity of the ears and tongue will greatly facilitate one's achieving the topmost perfection of pure love of Godhead as soon as possible.

• Email to a friend • •Akrura das, Gita Coaching: COACHING RELATIONSHIPGita Coaching gives an opportunity to experience a relationship in which you could express yourself freely, explore ideas and make important decisions to change your current reality. Based on trust and respect, support and challenge, openness and honesty, in a coaching relationship you are able to be himself. There is no hidden agenda. The coach has no other motive than to be helpful. This creates a 'safe space' for authenticity, exploration and discovery. It allows you to bring anything to the table without fear of criticism, exposure or judgement. It is rare to have this type of relationship with anyone – even with those close to us. Most people have an opinion to share. They give their views rather than helping to clarify ours. In a coaching relationship, the main intention is to help. Not in a soft, permissive way, but to concretely enable an individual to increase awareness, gain new insights and generate motivation to act. Creating an environment in which people can open up and have deep and rich conversations is at the heart of coaching.  • Email to a friend • •Akrura das, Gita Coaching: COACHING BRIDGES THE GAPMorgan McCall noted in his book "High Flyers: Developing the Next Generation of Leaders": "Personal change is an emotional undertaking. Uncertainty, fear, loss, damage to self-esteem, intimidation and humiliation are significant and potentially debilitating emotions ... As with any weighty challenge, knowing that people care about you and will offer support, can help someone hold on, try again, get back up and otherwise persevere." Coaching bridges the gap. It provides the necessary focused attention, support and challenge to ensure that we continue to move forward in a positive direction.  • Email to a friend • •ISKCON Melbourne, AU: Daily Class - Bhakti Sara DasaSrimad Bhagavatam 1.3.4 - Serious study of Srimad Bhagavatam in right association with correct attitude is required to develop the vision to see Krsna (...tac chrnvan su-pathan vicarana-paro bhaktya vimucyen narah). • Email to a friend • •Akrura das, Gita Coaching: COACHING AS AN ENABLING PROCESSCoaching is an enabling process. It fits well into the modern world because it is opposed to a command-and-control leadership approach, which is slowly dying all over the world. A coach assumes that people have inherent capabilities, can learn quickly and, when correctly focused and inspired, will give of their best, and even out-perform what was expected of them. An effective coach enables people to discover the optimal ways of moving forward.  • Email to a friend • •Akrura das, Gita Coaching: COACHING CONVERSATIONOne of the keys to bring out the brilliance of people is through conversation. Most life success is dependent on conversation, yet we live in an age where it is lacking. The pace of modern life means that we barely have time to connect. Everybody is rushing, rushing, rushing. When we do pause to talk to each other, the potency of the interaction is often weak. Our listening is shallow. We listen to argue, we listen to agree, we listen to interrupt, or we listen waiting for a chance to jump in with our point of view. We often fail to create time and space for meaningful conversations, which are very much needed. Coaching is a focused conversation, which enables you to gain new perspectives, understandings and solutions. The quality of the coaching conversation is influenced by the coach's positive intention. Because he intends to ad value to your life, you might experience a qualitatively different conversation to those that you are used to having in your daily life.  • Email to a friend • •ISKCON News.com: Processed Meats Declared Too Dangerous for Human Consumption
• Email to a friend • •Akrura das, Gita Coaching: ALWAYS BE SATISFIED AND HAPPYYou are doing your best to serve Krishna, that is very much appreciated, so do not lose enthusiasm out of frustration, that will spoil everything. Krishna Consciousness means we should always be satisfied and happy, not that we must work something impossible, becoming overburdened, and then because we are unhappy by so much trouble we lose enthusiasm altogether and give up all hope. No, if too much endeavour is there, that is to be avoided. Srila Prabhupada  • Email to a friend • •Gaura-shakti Kirtan, Toronto, CA: Whether it Comes to Cooking or Singing... It's the Same Blissful Service!Recently, on a bright morning, I had an interesting idea!
So, back to my idea! One bright morning I thought to myself, "Why can't Gaura-Shakti cook one Sunday Feast!?" Gaura-Shakti might be known for kirtans here and there but now Gaura-Shakti can be even known for cooking! :) Why not put all of our love into cooking for our wonderful weekly Sunday program? This is what yoga is all about - yoga means connection. Connection with the Divine (Krishna) and others can be done through chanting and also through cooking with love. Bhakti yoga, the yoga of love, can be applied everywhere, whether it comes to cooking or chanting. :) Reciprocation comes from chanting or honouring meals made with love! Stay tuned for an update on how the cooking went and you also might come by to one of the Sundays to try it out and... maybe help us out to cut vegetables! ;) --Tara  • Email to a friend • •Dandavats.com: Hare Krishna YMCA prankYoutube: Happy Hare Krishna disciples walk around people and start dancing YMCA and other happy songs A presentation of the Just For Laughs Gags |
