Srila Prabhupada explains the amazing story of Sri Mula Rāma “In the book known as Adhyātma-rāmāyaṇa, there are statements in Chapters Twelve to Fifteen about the worship of the Deities Śrī Rāmacandra and Sītā. There it is stated that during Lord Rāmacandra’s time there was a brāhmaṇa who took a vow refusing to accept breakfast […]

Śrīla Prabhupāda: “[…] One feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Rāmacandra is omnipotence.

In the spiritual world the Supreme Personality of Godhead has all the dealings […]

Śrīla Prabhupāda: “Modern Rākṣasas, posing as educationally advanced merely because they have doctorates, have tried to prove that Lord Rāmacandra is not the Supreme Personality of Godhead but an ordinary person. But those who are learned and spiritually advanced will never accept such notions; they will accept the descriptions of Lord Rāmacandra and His activities […]

Srila Prabhupada…”Tṛṇād api sunīcena does not mean that if a Vaiṣṇava is insulted or Viṣṇu is defamed, you remain silent, “I am tṛṇād api sunīcena.” No. At that time you should become fire. That is the teaching of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Just like Hanumānjī, he’s Vaiṣṇava. But when there was need for the service of […]

“[…] As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (BG 4.7), the Lord appears when there are discrepancy in the discharge of factual religiousness and Lord Rāmacandra also appeared under the same circumstances, accompanied by His brothers, who are expansions of the Lord’s internal potency, and by Lakṣmījī Sītādevī.
