108: The Significance of the Number

Posted by Gopal das on October 18, 2011 at 3:52pm

It is amazing how much Western science has taught us. Today, for example, kids in grammar school learn that the sun is 93 million miles from the earth and that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. Yoga may teach us about our Higher Self, but it can't supply this kind of information about physics or astronomy.

Or can it?

Professor Subhash Kak of Louisiana State University referred to the statement by Sayana, a fourteenth century Indian scholar. In his commentary on a hymn in the Rig Ved

Prophet Mohammed: Is He Really Predicted in the Bhavishya Purana?

Posted by Gopal das on October 18, 2011 at 3:30pm

Was Prophet Muhammad in the Vedas?

Starting With the Rig-Veda

In this article we will take a look at some of the verses in the Vedas that some people, such as Dr. Zakir Naik, say that Mohammed is mentioned or foretold in them. This is a summary based on the research by Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari and others, and shows that these verses in fact do not speak of Prophet Mohammed, but are used in a way that is based on mistranslations to justify that idea.

First of all, the Rig-Veda is globally recogni

In His service sweat drops turned to pearls of salvation;

In His devotion tear drops turned to pearls of purification;

In His sermons rain drops turned to pearls of inspiration;

In Sri Krishna's love Yamuna's drops turned to pearls of benediction.

If you don’t cultivate positive habits, if you don’t cultivate positive philosophy then you will be forced to cultivate negative thoughts. If you don’t have good habits you are going to have bad habits. You have a choice, either you cultivate good habits or you cultivate bad habits.By H.H. Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj

The Self is Guilty, Not the Body

Posted by Ravi Chandran on October 14, 2011 at 11:07am

Question: Body is Guilty of Sin, Not the Self?My parents say that sins are done by the body (deham) not the self (dehi or atma) within the body. Their logic is that once the body dies and is burnt or buried all the sins go away, that the self or atma is immortal and pious and thus has no sins on its record. Is this true?Dr. R.S.Answer: No. The Self is Guilty, Not the BodyIf this were true, the murderer could claim that he was not guilty of killing his victim because it was the gun that actually

How Everyone Can Be Sufficiently Wealthy

Uploaded from Copenhagen, DenmarkPeople all over the world are always worried about not having sufficient money to live happily, but there is no need for all of this anxiety. Material opulence is given by Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, who always remains engaged in loving service to God, Her beloved Lord Narayana, an expansion of Krishna. By Lakshmi's grace those who fully engage their wealth in the service of God are given whatever wealth is required to engage themselves happily in His servic

So we are celebrating the month of Damodara. That is a very special month. In this month we celebrate so many loving pastimes. Krishnas love is simultaneous.

When ones mind is attached to Krsna, one can fulfill the mission of life in one human birth. If one misses this opportunity, one does not know where he is going, how long he will remain in the cycle of birth and death, and when he will achieve the human form of life and the chance to return home, back to Godhead. The most intelligent person, therefore, uses every moment of his life to render loving service to the Lord.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.9.42, Purport).By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

World frowns, forbids and finds faults to tease;Sri Krishna says forgive, forgo- for His love fills moments to say cheese;Worldly troubles makes one beg, steal- life does not ease;Devotion says chant Sri Radha Krishna- smiles shower tears cease.
