    Meditation
    Can anyone please help me to meditate?  I am feeling stressed and could use guidance.  I know it is good to chant the maha mantra, but is this the only recommended form of meditation?

    Stephen commented on ISKCON Desire Tree's blog post Sharing the Spirit of Christmas by Visakha Devi Dasi
    "I just would like to say that, while I agree animals should not be killed needlessly, it’s not accurate to say you are out of touch with the spirit of Christmas by eating meat. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus, and Jesus certainly ate meat.…"

    How to return to Krishna?
    I understand that to return to Krishna, we must pray and chant.  But, what controls our removal from rebirth?  Does Krishna decide when you have chanted enough to rejoin him?  Or is that all on you?  Does Krishan remove your sins, or is that your…

    How do we know?
    I mean no disrespect, but I am wondering, how do we know that the scriptures are true?  How do we know that the Bhagvad Gita and all the other books are not just legends or metaphors but literal truth?  Are there any arecheological findings that…

    What counts as a Maha Mantra “round”?
    Greetings!  I would like to cultivate a regular practice of chanting the Maha Mantra.  I understand you should try to chant 16 rounds, but at first I thought that a "round" consisted of one repetition of the mantra.  Apparently this is not the case?…
