I need more TIME!
Time brings about destruction in this world. But when we engage our time in spiritual activities, the same time can take us closer to eternity at the end of our lives. And while living, a strong practice of Krishna Consciousness can make Krishna to expand time for us because He is time.

Krishna’s heart is not easy to understand. Through the sciptures, we can understand what is in Krishna’s heart.

Understanding of Krishna’s heart can help us become dearer to Him by trying to make those things dear which are His heart!!!
