What is Real Mukti?

Mukti means to be reinstated in one's original spiritual status after giving up the material conception of life. Therefore, human life is specifically meant for qualifying ourselves for this spiritual liberty.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.4 purport
How a transcendentalist falls down?

yo vai vāį¹…-manasÄ« saį¹yag
asaį¹yacchan dhiyā yatiįø„
tasya vrataį¹ tapo dānaį¹
sravaty āma-ghaį¹­Ämbu-vat

A transcendentalist who does not completely control his words and mind by superior intelligence will find that his spiritual vows, austerities and charity flow away just as water flows out of an unbaked clay pot.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.16.43

Glories of Kartik Month

*Join us tonight for Kartik month, offer lamp to Lord Damodara*

Hare Krishna dear Devotees,

Please join us tonight (Sun) for *Kartik Month prayers*. Offer a lamp to Lord Dāmodara and get immensely blessed

How a devotee sees everything?

It is therefore said:
nārāyaį¹‡am ayaį¹ dhÄ«rāįø„
paśyanti paramārthinaįø„
jagad dhananmayaį¹ lubdhāįø„
kāmukāįø„ kāminÄ«mayam

A devotee sees everyone and everything in relationship with Nārāyaį¹‡a (nārāyaį¹‡am ayam). Everything is an expansion of Nārāyaį¹‡a's energy. Just as those who are greedy see everything as a source of money-making and those who are lusty see everything as being conducive to sex, the most perfect devotee, Prahlāda Mahārāja, saw Nārāyaį¹‡a even within a stone column.

You Are Cordially Invited To Deepavali Feast and Celebrations Tomorrow šŸŖ”

Date : 31 Oct (Thur) 2024
Time : 12pm to 2pm
Venue : Iskm, No. 9, Geylang Lorong 29, #03-02 Singapore 388065
Note: Deity Darshan will close by 1 pm!

Program Schedule
: Arati, Kirtan, Lamp Offering To Lord Damodara & Grand Feast!

Deepa means light and avali means numerous. So Deepavali means numerous lights. When Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after slaying Ravana and rescuing Sita, the citizens welcomed him by offering numerous lamps. Deepavali is also celebrated as the day when Lord Krishna killed the demon of ignorance Narakasura and saved the earth from the tyrant.

Deepavali does not only mean to symbolically light lamps but the real essence is to light the lamp of knowledge and dissipate the darkness of ignorance in our hearts. It is also a festival to welcome the Lord into our lives and reconnect our lost relationship with him through love and devotion.
Offer Lamp To Lord Damodara on Deepavali

In celebration of the auspicious Deepavali, we have arranged for a lamp offering for Lord Krishna to invoke His blessings for the benefit of all. We will be doing a lamp offering for the Deities on behalf of your family. All proceeds of the funds will be used for our free food distributions.

Please Contribute $10 towards Deepavali Lamp offering and receive the blessings of the Lord.

Sb 2.7.32
gopair makhe pratihate vraja-viplavāya

dhartocchilīndhram iva sapta-dināni sapta-
varį¹£o mahÄ«dhram anaghaika-kare salÄ«lam

When the cowherd men of Vį¹›ndāvana, under instruction of Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, stopped offering sacrifice to the heavenly King, Indra, the whole tract of land known as Vraja was threatened with being washed away by constant heavy rains for seven days. Lord Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, out of His causeless mercy upon the inhabitants of Vraja, held up the hill known as Govardhana with one hand only, although He was only seven years old. He did this to protect the animals from the onslaught of water.

A sannyāsī should not be like this!

granthān naivābhyased bahūn
na vyākhyām upayuƱjīta
nārambhān ārabhet kvacit

A sannyāsī must not present allurements of material benefits to gather many disciples, nor should he unnecessarily read many books or give discourses as a means of livelihood. He must never attempt to increase material opulences unnecessarily.

One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities, who does not think himself a proprietor and is free from false ego, who is equal in both happiness and distress, who is tolerant, always satisfied, self-controlled, and engaged in devotional service with determination, his mind and intelligence fixed on Me ā€“ such a devotee of Mine is very dear to Me.

What is jīvātmā and Paramātmā?

The living entities are therefore called jÄ«vātmā, and the Supreme Lord is called Paramātmā. Both the Paramātmā and the jÄ«vātmā are within this material world, and therefore this material world has a purpose other than sense gratification. The conception of a life of sense gratification is illusion, but the conception of service by the jÄ«vātmā to the Paramātmā, even in this material world, is not at all illusory. A Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a conscious person is fully aware of this fact, and thus he does not take this material world to be false but acts in the reality of transcendental service.
