==========================================READERS COMMENTS================The last issue was really nice. I particularly liked Srila Prabhupada'sarticle, " Reform is Better than Rejection "

-- Raghunandan Das, UKI very much appreciate your efforts to serve Hari, Guru and the Vaishnavas.As you say on your home page, krishna-katha is THE panacea.-- Narayan DasIt is really nice to read the Bindu Magazine. In particular I highly

recommend everyone in ISKCON to read KK Bindu #167. It is very educationalfor our Krishna consciousness. Issue 167 included a purport by Srila Viswanath Chakravarti Thakur whereinhe glorifies the family life of the Vrajavasis, the eternal associate of

Krishna. As seen in the light of SB 4.22.40, (as quoted by ViswanathChakravarti) grihastha devotees are much better than the non-devotee marriedcouples. Viswanath then glorifies Krishna's eternal associates, who although

in grihastha life, are 1,000 times better than other grihasthas.Through the Bindu magazine I still feel the presence of HH Gaura GovindaMaharaja who gave me some wonderful siksa. My prostrated pranams at thelotus feet of His Divine Grace Gour Govinda Maharaja who went everywhere and

flooded everyone with krishna-katha.-- Payonidhi Das======================We hope you will find Bindu a valuable tool for your bhajan and preaching.Please tell others about this free service, and, if possible, print out a

- His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, from Lilamrita Vol.6p.182-- ChantHare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare II Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare II

--is the sublime method for reviving our Krsna consciousness. As living spiritual souls we are all originally Krsna conscious entities, but due to our asociation with matter since time immemorial, our consciousness is now poluted by material atmosphere. In this polluted concept of life, we are all trying to exploit the resources of material nature, but actually we are becoming more and more entangled in our complexities. This illusion is called Maya, or hard struggle for existence over the stringent laws of material nature. This illusory struggle against the material nature can at once be stopped by revival of our Krsna consciousness.

And Be Happy
