How the IAPP CIPP-US Exam Bridges Privacy, Security & Technology

I’ve been diving into the IAPP CIPP-US exam lately, and one thing really stands out, it is designed to show how privacy, security, and technology aren’t separate silos, but interconnected pieces of modern data management. The Certified Information Privacy Professional/United States (CIPP/US) exam covers U.S. privacy laws, regulations, and governance frameworks, while also emphasizing how these rules apply in practical, tech-driven environments. In short, it’s about understanding the whole…

What Salesforce Plat-Admn-301 Exam Reveals About Your Admin Maturity?

Honestly, the Salesforce Plat-Admn-301 exam is one of those exams that quietly exposes how “grown” you really are as an admin and I don’t mean how many badges you’ve collected. I remember going into it thinking, “Okay, I’ve handled users, built flows, managed security… how hard can it be?” That confidence lasted about 15 minutes into the exam.What this exam really reveals is whether you think like a Salesforce admin or you just do admin tasks. There’s a big difference. Early-stage admins…

Our source of inspiration

"Now we have got so many students and so many temples but I am fearful that if we expand too much in this way that we shall become weakened and gradually the whole thing will become lost. Just like milk. We may thin it more and more with water for cheating the customer, but in the end it will cease to be any longer milk. Better to boil the milk now very vigorously and make it thick and sweet, that is the best process. So let us concentrate on training our devotees very thoroughly in the knowledge of Krishna Consciousness from our books, from tapes, and in so many ways instruct them in the right propositions." - letter June 22, 1972 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada, founder acharya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)

When Enlightenment Meets Dharma: Universal Values Through the Lens of Krishna Consciousness

Posted by ISKCON Desire Tree on January 13, 2026 at 5:36pm

31061790856?profile=RESIZE_710x
Dear devotees,

Srila Prabhupada repeatedly taught that Krishna consciousness must be presented in ways that uplift society, illuminate universal spiritual values, and open the door for people of all backgrounds to discover Dharma. He emphasized that genuine spiritual outreach includes demonstrating how Vedic principles naturally harmonize with the highest expressions of human ethics—compassion, dignity, protection of life, and the cultivation of wisdom.

Who Can Be Guru? By Lokarama Das

The Essential Qualifications

The Hari-bhakti-vilāsa establishes the essential qualifications of a spiritual master based on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.3.21 and 11.10.5:

tasmād guruṁ prapadyeta jijñāsuḥ śreya uttamam
śābde pare ca niṣṇātaṁ brahmaṇy upaśamāśrayam

“Therefore, one who is desirous of the ultimate good should turn to a guru who is immersed in scripture and in the Supreme Brahman, and sheltered in the highest peace.”

COMING OF AGE #33 – Perception for a Perfectionist?

31061789291?profile=RESIZE_584x By Yudhisthira Dasa   

No matter where we are on our journey, we can find solace in the fact that the effects of time, as we know it, exist only in the material world and are ultimately not linear. The big picture is that all souls (excluding descending nitya siddha masters) come to the material world, eventually attain a human form to experience an existential crisis, and gradually realize our eternal identity. And, while steady progress is possible, our…

In my 52 years as a monk it was the first baby shower I ever attended that I can remember. That first was today. My disciple/student, Sukavak, whom I’ve known since birth, is having a baby in two months, rather his wife, Dola. Let’s put it this way, sperm and egg meet and before you know it there will be a delivery of a miraculous kind having nothing to do with Amazon, but something that excites both Mum and Dad.…
