Truly, Faith is the life-giving tree of Bliss,
It stems from the root of devotion,
It is nourished by the determination of the devotee,
It flowers by the Grace of the Guru,
It fructifies with the Blessings of the Lord,
And then it reaches out to the hearts of others,
To seed, and take root, once again…
Thank you Devotees for the seeds you have sown,
For Faith is the offspring of Faith, in oneself and in others… :)

You are walking, you are catching, you are thinking, you are doing so many things -- what is the aim? The aim is satisfy the stomach. You cook, you earn hard money, and then you purchase goods and cook nicely and pWhy Does the Gita Encourage Violence?
Sometimes people ask, "The Gita tells Arjuna to not hesitate in killing his relatives because for the soul there is no death. Will this logic not become a license for all murderers to justify their crimes?"
