Kids made this year’s Diwali and Govardhan puja very special by making these wonderful offerings to Krsna.
Can you guess what fruits are being offered?
Though we bought them the stuffed toys of Radha Krsna, Nrsimha deva, Prahlad maharaja etc. when the kids were as young as a year old, I never saw them consciously treating them as the forms of the Lord. To my great surprise, with the addition of new small Radha Krsna yesterday, Maharathi was fired up to setup an altar for all of them and insisted on performing the aarathi.
Kids took turn in the ceremony, performing the aarthi and practicing their new mrdanga learning skills.
Thanking Krsna and kids for showing me this day.

Their children are grown and gone away, so this is a natural time for spiritual cultivation. But no. They get some cat or dog, and instead of serving God, they serve dog. It is most unfortunate. But they will not listen. Their

One time in Mayapura big big leaders of ISKCON were giving presentations, Prabhupada looked at the open field and pointed his cane and said “can’t you see”. They were puzzled, again he raised his voice and said “can’t you see”. Devotees thought may be Prabhupada is seeing Radha Krsna dancing and they were supposed to see. Again Prabhupada said “can’t you see”, then later Prabhupada walked into the middle of the field and stopped a leaking water faucet. He said “it is Krsna’s energy, we should not waste it”. He paused
