Do you change your environment, chant at a specific time, read before…
Read more…Hare Krishna Dear Devotees, please accept my humble obeisances and sincere apologies for all Aparadhas.I have just bought a cake from a pure vegan restaurant that is Halal so I thought it would be alcohol free.

In the Vedic culture, they are meant to be…

I wish to hear from You the glories of this sacred day of Hari.

I have walked around the lake at New Vrindavan multiple times. Today was another day just to get some footsteps in before a decent drive to the next destination - Cleveland. For well over a year now the Bhakti yogis of this area in Ohio have been meeting weekly at what’s termed as “Pierogi Palace.” It is a modest sized meeting hall on top of a hill, quite ideal for a private Hare Krishna gathering.…
Many people think that science and spirituality will always be at odds, but true religion must be supported by science, and true science must be supported by religion.
Real religion is sanatana dharma, or eternal duty. It is based on universal truth rather than rituals or superstition. Real religion is about truth because God is truth.
