Wisdom for all

1. We are put to test and trial in this world. Only those who meditate and do their Karma can succeed.

2. Every spot on earth where satsangs are held is a place of pilgrimage.

3. Possession of objects not related to Dharma is our main malady.

4. Let me not desire anything but the highest good for my worst enemies.

5. As dalliance with the body in luxury increases, so wanes the spirit of service of the Dharma and Humanity.

6. Those favored by God find their paths set by thorns.

7. There is no peace or happiness in our worldly life. Circumstances create turmoil and annoyance.

8. Chant the mahamantra loudly and with attachment. This will drive away inertia, worldly evils and pests.

9. Be indifferent to bazaar gossip, stick firmly to your cherished goals, no lack or impediments of the world will ever stand in your way.

10. Pay due respects to the extroverts of the world, but do not be appreciative of their manners and conduct. They are to be shaken off from your mind.

11. A devotee feels the presence of God everywhere, but one averse to the Lord denies His existence anywhere.

12. You cannot appreciate transcendental matters with the reasoning of the world. It is sheer nonsense to decry them with the measuring stick of your intellect.

13. To recite the name of OMKAR is bhakti.

14. Life is for the glorification of topics on Hari. If that is stopped, then what need is there to carry on life.

15. Physical illness with Hari-bhajana is preferred to physical fitness without Hari-bhajana.

16. Our span of life on earth is short. Our life will be crowned with success if the body wears out with constant discourses on Hari.

17. We are here on earth not to work as artisans for making big buildings with wood and stone but to work only as messengers for the teachings of Dharma

18. A sycophant is neither a guru or a preacher.

19. To transform the adverse desires of the jivas is the supreme duty of the most merciful. To rescue one person from the stronghold of Mahamaya is an act of superb benevolence, far superior to opening innumerable hospitals.

20. Unless we are devoted to God, secularism shall not leave us.

21. Look within. Amend yourself, rather than pry into the frailties of others.

22. In this world of Maya, averse to the Lord, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends for Hari-bhajana.

23. The Lord, Gaurasundara, puts His devotees in various difficulties and associations to test their patience and strength of mind. Success depends on their good fortune.

24. When faults in others misguide and delude you – have patience, introspect, find faults in yourself. Know that others cannot harm you unless you harm yourself.

25. I wish that every selfless, tender-hearted person of Gaudiya Math will be prepared to shed two hundred gallons of blood for the nourishment of the spiritual corpus of every individual of this world

Jamai Shashthi 2026 — The Story of Maa Shashthi, the Cat, and the Wife Who Was Forgiven

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, Bengali households across Bharata will welcome their married daughters and sons-in-law home for the legendary jamai-aador feast and perform the Shashthi Vrata. But behind the warmth lies a story most Bengalis know by heart and most non-Bengalis have never heard — the wife who stole the hilsa, blamed the cat, lost six sons to Maa Shashthi’s wrath, and was finally forgiven. The Vrat Katha, the vidhi, the mantras, and the deeper teaching.

Vat Purnima 2026 — The Wife Who Argued Yama Into Returning Her Husband’s Life

On Monday, June 29, 2026, women across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and southern Bharata will tie red thread around banyan trees and hear the story of Savitri — the wife who walked behind Yamaraja Himself when He came for her husband, and out-argued the Lord of Dharma into returning Satyavan’s life. The Mahabharata’s Pativrata Mahatmya Parva, the vrat vidhi, and why the banyan witnessed everything.

Nija Jyeshtha 2026 — The Real Jyeshtha Begins, and the Calendar Resumes

With Adhik Maas now closed on the Somvati Amavasya of June 15, the long-postponed festivals of Jyeshtha return — Vat Purnima (June 29, the Savitri-Yamaraja katha), Jamai Shashthi (June 20, the Bengali festival of Maa Shashthi), Sankashti Chaturthi (June 28), Yogini Ekadashi (July 10), and Devshayani Ekadashi (July 16, opening the four-month Chaturmas of Bhagavan Vishnu’s yoga-nidra). A guide to what the next four weeks hold and what the household that kept Purushottam Maas now carries forward.

The Closing of Purushottam Maas 2026 — Adhik Amavasya and the Sealing of the Month-Long Vrat

On Monday, June 15, 2026 — a rare Somvati Amavasya — the intercalary month that bears Bhagavan Vishnu’s own name comes to its close. The Acharyas teach that a vrat is not measured by its duration but by its closing. Here are the Padma Purana’s instructions for sealing the month-long Purushottam Maas vrat: the morning snan, the closing puja with the Vishnu Sahasranama, the day of dana, the Somvati Amavasya gift, and the final sarva-arpana — the offering of all merit at the feet of the Lord.

Parama Ekadashi 2026 — The Other Rare Ekadashi of Purushottam Maas, and the Poor Brahmin Who Kept It

Two weeks ago, Vaishnavas across Bharata kept Padmini Ekadashi — the rare Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Adhik Maas. Padmini has a twin. On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi of the same intercalary month appears: Parama — the Supreme Ekadashi. The Padma Purana names it the rarer and more secret of the two, and reserves it for those whose poverty or sorrow has refused to lift in spite of every other vrat already kept. The story of Sumedha and Pavitra of Kampilya, the rishi Kaundinya, the prince sent by Bhagavan Brahma — and the vidhi for the day.
