A Hare Krishna temple in Leicester was evacuated seconds before an explosion almost destroyed the building, according to fire crews.

A religious celebration was being held at the property in Thoresby Street when one of the occupants went to disconnect a gas cylinder being used for cooking.

Leicestershire Fire Service said the man noticed the valve was leaking and got everyone out with moments to spare.

It was a "miracle" no-one was killed, watch manager Bill Smith said.

Realisation on Determination


REALISATION


While coming to Krishna consciousness times and again I shied away from teaching Mahamantra to the kids of my Play school. The very thought of getting criticized by family, parents of kids and onlookers kept me miles away from doing so. Then I came across the following verse was found in the purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 2.4.3-4

A stroke of good fortune

A few years ago my wife Krsna Rupa and I met an Indian gentleman named Gyan who was interested in the Srimad Bhagavatam set. We went to his house to show him the books, did kirtan and gave him some prasadam. He ended up getting $1600 worth of books; the Srimad Bhagvatam set, Caitanya Caritamrta, Lilamrta, Hari Sauris books etc.

We would go and visit occasionally, do a program and he would gradually pay for the books. But one day I lost his phone number. So we drove around to his house only

Why should garlic be avoided?

Why should garlic be avoided?

The reason garlic is so toxic, the sulphone hydroxyl ion penetrates the

blood brain barrier, just like DMSO, and is a specific poison for higher

life forms and brain cells.

We discovered this much to our horror, when I was the world's largest

manufacturer of ethical EEG biofeedback equipment. We'd have people come

back from lunch that looked clinically dead on the encephalograph, which we

used to calibrate their progress. "Well, what happened?" " Well, I went to
