I am sure we all have at some point of time in our lives or are currently been whipped with thoughts like: I wish I had more money... I wish I was more beautiful... I wish I had a better life... I wish I had that fancy car or bike... or maybe thoughts like: If I had more money I could have bought that bigger luxury apartment? If only I was a little thinner I would look more attractive?   A lack of true contentment is the seed-bed in which sins like covetousness, lust, anger, hatred, and a host

Will Suffering Ever End?

2515111082?profile=original

This material world is certified by the Lord in the holy scriptures, as a dangerous place full of sufferings. First of all, we need to comprehend that we are all spiritual beings within material bodies. As soon as we are enclosed in a material body and interact with the material energy, we are going to experience various aspects of worldly existence which may not be the most pleasant. According to our interpretation of the experience, based on the dictates of the senses and mind, some of these

The Most Suitable Boat

2515110421?profile=original

Generally the distressed, the needy, the intelligent and the inquisitive, who have performed some pious activities, worship or begin to worship the Lord. Others, who are thriving on misdeeds only, regardless of status, cannot approach the Supreme due to being misled by the illusory energy. Therefore, for a pious person, if there is some calamity there is no other alternative than to take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord.
 
Constantly remembering the lotus feet of the Lord means preparing f

जॉन हेर्बिसन या यशोदा दुलाल जब घर से निकलते समय अपनी पत्नी से विदा ले रहे थे तो उन्होंने यह नहीं कहा की मैं थोड़ी देर में आता हूँ, उन्होंने कहा, "मैं एक साल में आता हूँ।"

कल २९ अगस्त, श्रावण शुक्ल पूर्णिमा को, भगवान श्री कृष्ण के बड़े भाई, हम सभी जीवों के आदि-गुरु, जिनकी कृपा के बिना भगवान की कृपा मिलना अत्यंत कठिन है, उन श्री बलराम जी का आविर्भाव दिवस है ।

परम पुरुषोत्तम भगवान श्री कृष्ण सभी अवतारों के उद्गम हैं । उनका प्रथम विस्तार श्री बलराम जी हैं । भगवान श्री कृष्ण और श्री बलराम जी में मात्र रूप का अंतर है । 
प्रथम विस्तार होने के कारण बलराम जी से ही सम्पूर्ण आध्यात्मिक संसार का उद्गम हुआ है । वे मूल गुरु-तत्त्व, सब जीवों के आदि-गुरु भी हैं ।

How to Keep Ourselves in God's Love?

2515110753?profile=original

By the Lord's arrangement, I happened to meet my college friend after a long time during a preaching program. It was a nostalgic moment for both of us, as our eyes met and all sweet memories resurfaced. In college she used to be extremely restless, constantly searching for peace and solace. She would frequent mosques, gurudwaras, churches and monasteries in search for eternal peace. She would listen to any and every discourse by mundane self proclaimed Gods posing as self-realized souls. Caught

Window of Wisdom


This material world is the world of duality, in contrast with the oneness of the absolute realm. The world of duality is composed of matter and spirit, whereas the absolute world is complete spirit without any tinge of the material qualities. In the dual world everyone is falsely trying to become the master of the world, whereas in the absolute world the Lord is the absolute Lord, and all others are His absolute servitors. In the world of duality everyone is envious of all others, and death is

What is the Key to Happy Family Life

2515112604?profile=original

In the revealed bonafide scriptures there are two nomenclatures for the householder’s life. One is 'grihastha', and the other is 'g?hamedhi'. The 'g?hasthas' are those who live together with wife and children but live transcendentally for realizing the ultimate truth. The 'g?hamedhis', however, are those who live only for the benefit of the family members, extended or centralized, and thus are envious of others. The word 'medhi' indicates jealousy of others. The 'g?hamedhis', being interested i
