brahmānda bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-krsna-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja
"In the course of traversing the universal creation of Brahmā, some fortunate soul may receive the seed of bhakti-latā, the creeper of devotional service. This is all by the grace of guru and Krsna." (Caitanya-caritāmrta, Madhya 19.151) The material world is a place of confinement for the living entities who are by nature ānandamaya, pleasure-seeking. They actually want to be free from the confinement of this world of conditional happiness, but not knowing the process of liberation, they are bound to transmigrate from one species of life to another and from one planet to another. In this way the living entities are wandering throughout the material universe. When by good fortune one comes in contact with a pure devotee and hears from him patiently, one begins to follow the path of devotional service. Such an opportunity is offered to a person who is sincere. The International Society for Krishna Consciousness is giving such a chance to humanity at large. If by fortune one takes advantage of this opportunity to engage in devotional service, the path of liberation immediately opens."

About Me
- Jagai Nitai Dasa
- You want to know a little about me? Well there is not much to know. I live in Mount Rainier Maryland, on the DC Maryland border. I am a web developer- C#/.Net/SQL is my barrio. Outside of the regular the stuff that is common amongst all humans, I am trying to practice Krishna Consciousness but find it difficult. There is no method or theme to this blog. It’s simply the collection of foam that bubbles up in my life.
