Vrindavan Samadhi

ISKCON Pakistan Visit to Hindu Shrine Nurtures Peace
As negative media and public reaction greet the first formal talks between Pakistan and India since the Mumbai terrorist attacks of November 2008, could spirituality prove a more effective healing process?

To such an honored guest,
And all the food you'd offer,
Would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring him,

He is angry when His pure devotee who are simply dedicated to preaching this message and delivering the fallen souls from their misery, are tortured is harassed and... in so many ways offended and mistreated. Then He becomes angry.Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu advised that vaisnava aparaad mata haathi.. that the MAD ELEPHANT offense is to offend the Vaisnava. Just like an elephant goes into the garden and uproots and those branches
