Are not all people are equal to God? So He should provide happiness to all. But, some people suffer terribly throughout their life. Some others enjoy good luck and happiness from birth to death. Is such a partiality , appropriate to God?

Most people have the above doubt. The reason for this is , ignorance of  the Supreme Truth.

The origin is one and only *Paramathma* (God) . A tiny bit of it becomes the individual sole (

I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the torch of knowledge. I offer my respectful obeisances unto him. When will Srila Rupa Gosvami Prabhupada, who has established within this material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelt

Delhi, Saturday 20th February, 1960

Modern materialistic science has discovered anti-material world which was so long unknown to the wranglers of gross-materialism. In the Times of India dt. 27.10.59 a news service, dated at Stockholm 26.10.59, was published as follows:--

"Two American atomic scientists were awarded 1959 Nobel Physics Prize to-day for the Discovery of Anti-Proton, proving that matter exists in two forms as particles and anti-particles."

"They are Italian-born Dr. Emilio Segre 69 an

Everyone of us nourishes a desire to control something. From a small ant to the huge elephant, from a pauper on the street to the President of a state, everyone thinks that “I am the controller”. An ant thinks, “I am the controller of the little grain of sugar”, an elephant thinks “I am the controller of the entire trees of the forest”, a pauper thinks, “I am the controller of my begging bowl” and a President thinks, “I am the controller of the entire nation”.  It’s true that we have tiny littl

THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT
Yesterday I sold a Bhagavad-Gita As It Is to Betty, a 79 year old. Tomorrow 3 rd of July 2011 is her birthday anniversary. She cared to make the following statement: ” Hello, I am Betty from Central Queensland, Australia. Next Sunday 3 rd of July 2011 is my birthday anniversary and my age will then be 79. Today, July 1st I have purchased one copy of Bhagavad-Gita As Is It from a travelling sales person from the Hare Krishna Movement. I

So it is exactly like that. We are in this material world on account of this iccha and dvesa. We wanted to satisfy the senses, material senses, independently. And we wanted to disobey the orders of the Supreme Lord. These are the two causes for which we are put into this material world. So we have to rectify this mentality, that "I am independent. I am God. I can do whatever we like." This mentality has to be rectified. For that rectification we are in this material world, and we are undergoing

In remote corners of Vrndavana, Pilgrims find little known places of Krsna's  pastimes and get a clearer view Into their own hearts.

THE VRAJA Mandala Parikrama* is a walking pilgrimage throughout the land of Vraja, or Mathura, the district in North India where Lord Krsna appeared five thousand years ago. Devotees walk the entire parikrama path, stopping at the places where Krsna performed His pastimes. Vraja Mandala Parikrama can be considered pada-sevanam (serving Sri Krsna's lotus feet), one o

Another Avenue for Book Distribution – Inside our House

By Rupa Raghunatha das

In Sydney, I mainly do book distribution on the street. We are also very fortunate to have a strong team of six Devamrita Swamis bramacaris opening the storehouse of love of God on the streets of hundreds of suburbs in Sydney.

Since I took to the Grhasta asram, I have found another avenue for book distribution – inside our house. We set up a shop in the foyer with mainly books but other paraphenalia also. So we do home p

So because we have selected this para-tantrya, to be conditioned by the material nature, in any condition we are dependent, either dependent on spiritual nature or on material nature. So if we prefer to be under the control of material nature, then it is duhkhalayam asasvatam [Bg. 8.15]. And if we are under spiritual nature, then... Asango 'yam purusah. Raso vai sah, labdhanandi. Then we get blissful life, eternal blissful life. That is our selection. Either you be under spiritual nature or you

When we hear that we have to think about God 24hrs a day then we become disheartened. Most of the time, we desist from taking the very first step in devotional life because we feel that it is impossible for us to remember God at each and every moment.

Journey begins always with a first step. A huge banyan tree is just a small seed in the beginning. The seed is first sown in the ground. The gardener nurtures it daily by watering it. Slowly the seed sprouts into a sapling then it becomes a plant an
