Neither it can be seen or touched or felt but its existence is undeniable.  Just like the tsunami waves it does not have any emotions, it entraps and swallows all. The high and the mighty, the poor and the meek, men and women, every being of this world has to bow to it and have to surrender to its dictum. The “Time”, the mightiest of all is unstoppable and unconquerable. The might of “time” has always remained unchallenged and will remain so for ever. Time annihilates everything. “Time” underlin

Prabhupada: There is an example. In a water tank you throw one stone. It becomes a circle. And the circle expands, expands, expands unless the circle comes to the shore. Similarly our loving affair begins from personal self to family, from family to society, community, nation, international. But still, it is imperfect unless the circle reaches to the lotus feet of God. Then it is satisfied.

Unity in Diversity – in which we analyzed the many instructions of Srila Prabhupada on the idea of empowering people to preach from their homes and even install Deities. (0:00- 1:13)

The 50 percent principle (proportional giving for grihasthas):* – Srila Prabhupada spoke and wrote about this i

Harvard scientists have proof that yoga, meditation work. Scientists are getting close to proving what yogis have held to be true for centuries — yoga and meditation can ward off stress and disease.

John Denninger, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, is leading a five-year study on how the ancient practices affect genes and brain activity in the chronically stressed. His latest work follows a study he and others published earlier this year showing how so-called mind-body techniques can

Prabhupada: The designations are on the material platform according to the quality. But in the spiritual platform it is transcendental to material qualities. So when one becomes Krsna conscious there is no more distinction.

The material life is a difficult journey. Everywhere you look there is pain, suffering, torture, frustration and even if there is some kind of happiness, it is temporary just like a bubble of water. Fear,worries,strained relationships, diseased body, suicides, murders, rapes, thefts,terrorism, war define the current world. All these happen because we add fuel of materialistic desires to the fire of false ego. If not checked, it will burn us completely in misery and death and once again we will f

As popular opinion waned and prospects for victory faded America began the process of disengagement from the tragic debacle that was Viet Nam. Sadly, as America pushed away from the war it turned its back on the sons and daughters who were sent there to fight and die.
You are never safe from us. We are everywhere. We live next door. Across the street. Under the freeways. We marry your daughters. We collect your trash. We may look the same as before but you won’t know us. We’re the people who’ll

It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam that if one actually wants to be liberated he must render service to the devotees; but one who associates with materialistic people is on the path leading to the darkest region of existence. All the devotees of the Lord traverse this earth just to recover the conditioned souls from their delusion. The impersonalists do not know that forgetting their constitutional position as subordinate to the Supreme Lord is the greatest violation of God's law. Unless one
