The economic downturn being experienced by the Indian economy is bottoming out.


The political and economic leadership is reposing its trust in the potential of corporate India as well as the locked value in our state owned enterprises (maharatnas, navratnas and miniratnas). India is on its way to regain its glory of 7-8 percent GDP growth and nothing can stop the Indian economy from becoming the 3rd or 4th largest in GDP terms soon, said P Chidambaram, Union Finance Minister, while deliver

Management in Fairfield, Iowa, USA.

The book emphasizes Sachisuta's dedication and subsequent imprisonment. These excerpts, drawn from most of the chapters in Salted Bread, were selected by BTG Associate Editor Urmil

WHEN THE TONGUE IS CONSIDERED A PROSTITUTE

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

Devotees Chanting Hare Krishna in a Street Procession in Florence

Asatī means a woman who has become a prostitute. A prostitute has no reputation for good womanly qualities. Similarly, the tongue, which is given to the human being for chanting the Vedic hymns, will be considered a prostitute if it is engaged in the matter of chanting some mundane nonsense.” [SB 2.3.

Perhaps one of the most poignant sufferings in society is the failure of human relationships. Recent government statistics reveal that some fifty percent of marriages are ending in divorce. Every day four thousand children call the charity Childline for help. All around us we can all see so many examples of strained and collapsed relationships, possibly even in our own lives. We so much want to enjoy our relationships, but so often they become instead the cause of our greatest pain.

Krishna Often Surprises Us

2514786908?profile=original


With the devotees from the San Diego temple I was distributing books at a table at Mesa College recently when a person who was apparently a rabbi came over and began looking at the pictures I had on display --
the famous picture of the man with a cow's head about to slaughter a cow with a man's head, along with a reincarnation picture and a meditation picture. As he studied the pictures I thought, "What's going to come
of this? Is he going to tell me how far I am from the truth and make a scene, o

108: The Significance of the Number

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
