Everyone is seeking a common factor they can share with others of a similar mindset and in this way experience a sense of identity. The inherent problem in today’s modern society is that our identities are being defined by the body and mind. We live in a culture where our identity is established by the flesh we belong to, but since that changes at every moment our identity changes along with it, and therefore people do

While on sankirtan in Hamilton (New Zealand) recently, I met a familiar-looking couple. I had met them on traveling sankirtan in Rotorua during the recent marathon. They had taken a Bhagavad-gita for the husband's father. He is seriously ill, with a terminal disease. They reported that he had been in ecstasy to receive the book for Christmas and had wasted no time in starting to read it. It was very encouraging to hear that a housebound invalid near death had received and embraced Prabhupada's

We are not proprietor of this body. We are occupier. Just like a rented house: the proprietor and the tenant are different. So I am the spirit soul. I am not proprietor; I am simply occupier. The proprietor is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is giving me a particular apartment according to my capacity of paying rent. According to our karma or work, we get a body, either as a king's son, a cobbler's son, a dog's

The picture captures a poignant moment of truth. The two persons are holding a lump of matter which once was thought to be Nitai Das. Any sane individual has to admit Nitai Das at the end of the day cannot be that what is shown in that picture- lump of ash? Unfortunately, modern science has convinced every one that ultimately we are that matter!

The picture was taken in Mayapur this month. The two individuals are holding the final remains of Nitai Das who died in a car accident this month in F

WHAT PRICE DOES

BEAUTY PAY?

The skin is made up of layers of fat and dead cells, and harmful chemicals from cosmetics that we use can enter into our body through the skin.

See the good thing cosmetics can do to your skin.

Cosmetics on our wrinkly skin can smoothen the rough edges, moisturize the skin and make it more supple.

Well, what do you think? But don't be relieved, for cosmetics can do other things to your skin.

Most beauty produ

Transcendental Pearls of Wisdom

Notes from the instructions given by our most merciful spiritual master, His Holiness Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaja, at an evening program in London, June 7, 2008.

REAL-IZATION VS CONCOCTION
We are all here by Srila Prabhupada's mercy only. Unless we follow seriously we cannot pass it on. What we often forget is this world is 1) temporary and 2

When it comes to stress, illness and wellness, it is important to remember that what goes on in your mind is reflected in your body.

People who continually worry and get stressed about their problems tend to develop tense muscles, become tired easily or get headaches. When their mind is stressed, their body becomes stressed too.

Question to Radhanath Swami :How can one be happy regardless of external situations?

Radhanath Swami narrates from the Vedic Text, Srimad Bhagavatam

...Part 2

What can we learn from the sun? (Radhanath Swami continues)

The Avadhut learnt the same spirit of selfless service from the sun. The sun evaporates water, and what does it do with the water? It creates rain and gives the water back to the earth. Sea water is useless for many of our purposes. The sun will evaporate that sea water and make it in

Question to Radhanath Swami :How can one be happy regardless of external situations?

Radhanath Swami narrates from the Vedic Text, Srimad Bhagavatam

The Srimad Bhagavatam speaks of a great king named Yadu. Once when he was travelling through a forest he saw an Avdhut, a person who apparently was a social outcaste. He was laying in the forest like a python. From a material and from a social consideration, he was a failure. But Yadu, being a religious man, could see the person was bright faced and h

So if we become Krsna conscious, there cannot be any darkness. There cannot be any ignorance. There cannot be any sinful life. Everything bright, everything peaceful. Therefore we must take to Krsna consciousness if we want to save from the clutches of maya.

During his recent visit to Abu Dhabi, our beloved Guru Maharaja gave a very enlightening and practical explanation on the following verse from Srimad Bhagavatam 8.3.1:

Lecture on SB 6.2.9-10 -- Allahabad, January 15, 1971:

Prabhupāda: ...of Brahman. You are also Brahman. So your manifestation and Lord Śiva's manifestation is not the same. So there are different grades of manifestation. We have to know that. Although the thing is one but there are different manifestation, not that because everything is one, that everyone is the same. No. Hare Kṛṣṇa.

Haṁsadūta: Hare Kṛṣṇa. Prabhupāda just gave a wonderful example which I will repeat. He said that everything is one
