Instant noodles, instant coffee everything we need instantly in today's fast moving world. And finally what's the end result? Instant karmic reaction which is only multiplying the pain that we already have. People who are thoughtful can understand the defect of material sense gratification. We want to enjoy our senses right now & get pleasure. But the material nature won't allow us to do so beyond a limit. The more we try to enjoy the senses, the more we suffer. That's how this world is design

A group of preschool children, along with their devotee parents and grandparents, bustled excitedly into Gopal’s Garden Homeschool Co-Op for their graduation party on November 5th.

My dear devotees,
Please accept my best wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
In a letter to me dated December 1971, Srila Prabhupada wrote, “Go on increasing books, and go on increasing my pleasure.” December is a special opportunity to focus on Srila Prabhupada’s desire that we distribute books—and thus increase his pleasure. As he wrote in the same letter, “I am most pleased especially to hear that you are distributing many books.”

Most of the population of the world is so engrossed in material advancement that they falsely believe that by making material progress they can remain happy. The Lord has given us Hisgeet[1] in the form of Bhagavad-gita –and the more degraded society becomes the more important it is to spread this message of God to those who are suffering. One of the most significant methods to spread the glories of God is through printing and distributing books a

In this article I focus on how our degree of commitment to our vows and promises is affected by what we believe is possible for us. I also look at how beliefs affect us in general. Some of our beliefs give us strength and some make it difficult or impossible to achieve our goals. And many of these beliefs are transparent, i.e. you don’t even know you have them.
It’s important to uncover your beliefs so you can see if they are empowering you or holding you down. If they are not h

However it’s the first time an album entirely in
Antoine Leiris not just lost his young wife in the recent Paris carnage but his 17 month old son also lost his mother. Addressing her killers he wrote an open letter, “I don’t know who you are and I don’t want to know, you are dead souls. If this God for whom you kill blindly made us in his image, every bullet in the body of my wife is a wound in his heart.” He further wrote, “So no, I will not give you the satisfaction of hating you. You want it, but to respond to hatred with anger would be to
Shaktyavesha is proving to be a solid filmmaker and his stories are full of light and love. Forget to Remember is well shot as Shaktyavesha surrounds himself with a talented cast and crew. This film will leave you with existential questions that you may never considered before and takes you into the heart of kirtan music.
