This had to happen. “It’s a nondescript, pretty-much-worthless stone,” Telegraph quoted Frank Beunk, a geologist involved in the investigation. And you can rest assured, more of this biggest lie on Earth by NASA regarding its claimed moon landing will get fully exposed as the technology advances and people become more mindful of it.
What is more significant is, there was a person who laughed at the TV showing Moon landing back in 1970s. He said the NASA report was fake and that the world was be

Over the past few month’s I have been pondering what for me is the real meaning of mentor, and of those who have been the finest examples of mentor; this given that it is the latest buzz word being bounded around.
In many ways the first devotee’s that I had contact with were the perfect mentors, although they didn’t use such a crude word. The first devotee who stopped me in the streets became my first role model in devotional service, backed up by some amazing devotees who took on that respons

The fifth day of the ILS was the Appearance Day of His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura, the spiritual master of Srila Prabhupada. ILS delegates were given a break from seminars on this holy day so that they could spend a day in prayers, meditation, hearing and chanting.
After mangala-arati, His Holiness Niranjana Swami and His Holiness Radhanatha Swami delivered a special class to mark the occasion.
Niranjana Swami explained that one can learn Prabhupada’s mood of

On the fourth day of the ILS, delegates at the plenary session heard a presentation by Anuttama Das, GBC Minister for Communications on the topic, ‘Srila Prabhupada, the greatest communicator’. He explained that we normally associate Prabhupada with his books, letters, conversations and speeches, but we should also remember that Prabhupada was a skilful communicator.
“Prabhupada tried to create a favourable environment for preaching Krishna consciousness by meeting influe
My first memory of our beloved Srila Prabhupada was my discovery of him in a book I found in a secondhand bookshop called Krsna Consciousness: The Topmost Yoga System. I also found Easy Journey to Other Planets. I was so intrigued by these titles that I bought them both. One paragraph made such an impression on me. It was, as I remember it, “Why are we sending all these young men to the war in Vietnam when there is a fighting class of men?” That is when I recognized my spiritual master, and I s
