- 5 Factors of Action - H. D. Goswami
It is a good rule when reading translations and commentaries to remember that a non-literal sense of the work does not obliterate the literal sense but merely augments it Krishna uses forms of this word cesht to mean action at Bg 3 33, and 6 17 (where it is explicitly connected to actions: ceshtasya karmasu) So again your view is correct
- The Etymology of the Word God - H. D. Goswami
Where does the etymology of the word ‘God’ come from? (krsna = kristos, etc ) Here is the etymology of the word ‘God ’ 1 There is a tendency for a Sanskrit ‘h’ to change into a ‘g’ in European languages 2 Examples of this h → g: a) aham, “I” becomes Greek ‘ego’ b) maha → Latin ‘magna’ c) vahana → German ‘wagen’, ‘vehicle’ 3 Similarly, Sanskrit
- Morality of Krishna - H. D. Goswami
We had psychologists come to our program who are wondering how Krishna, being God, who came to establish religious principles, was engaged in stealing butter, lying, dating with the gopis, etc How can we explain God being engaged in such apparently immoral activities?

- How Ancient Is Vaishnava Tilaka? - H. D. Goswami
4 26 25 Puranjana laments that his wife’s face is vitilakam, but she is not a devotee, and it is not clear that vitilakam here does not simply mean “without ornament ” 5 9 15 The wicked thieves who intend to butcher Jada Bharata in a demonic sacrifice, first dress him nicely with clothes and tilaka, which here means a decoration, or
- To Approach Krishna - H. D. Goswami
At the beginning of the purport in the Srimad Bhagavatam 1 6 21, Srila Prabhupada talks about not being able to approach Krishna if there is any tinge of material affection I guess the question would be, what does he mean by approach? We start our devotional service as conditioned souls, and I take devotional service to be an approach towards Krishna Also, he says devotional service begins
- To Protect Women - H. D. Goswami
What does it mean when the Vedas state that men should protect women? Prabhupada and Shastras teach the protection of women Krishna also says in the Gita: yad yad acarati sresthas (people follow the leader’s example) Thus, a man who sets the right Krishna conscious example will be able to guide and inspire a woman Men must also realize that to protect does not mean to subjugate, humiliate
- How can I develop more affection for chanting the Holy Names?
It is not just a rule or requirement, but rather it is your person, intimate, quality time with Lord Krishna Successful japa does not simply mean to physically chant but rather to focus on Lord Krishna’s personal presence before us — in our heart and within His holy names Also, we are chanting to beg the Lord for devotional service
- ISKCON’s GBC - Page 6 of 8 - H. D. Goswami
I believe that such a historical moment is upon us again—a moment in which good and faithful ISKCON devotees, respecting Prabhupada’s GBC system, must petition the GBC to correct a critical problem with ISKCON leadership, including the GBC itself ISKCON’s GBC
