I Am Your Neighbour and Want to Share Something Beautiful

Prabhuada with his Books
I am professional classical and opera singer with many degrees and diplomas, and with many concerts worldwide from my childhood, 6 years of age. But when I became a devotee for 15 years I was learning to sing only for Krishna, the Lord, and nearly did not open my mouth. I thought that to sing for Krishna you must learn to sing so beautifully that Krishna would like to listen. Devotees were telling me that only devotion matters, not the vo

Srila Prabhupada story

 

Madhudvisa Prabhu

 

 Another incident that comes to mind was in 1968 or 69. We had a very well attended temple on La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles. The devotees went to Griffith Park in Los Angeles and chanted and distributed prasadam. Visnujan had little puppets and we would have puppet shows there and bring people from Griffith Park to the temple. We also went to the meditation room in "The Mystic Arts Book Store" in Laguna Beach. They let us have kirtan there and we wo

Gita Champions League (GCL) Contest


2514889126?profile=originalDear all,

We hope that you are doing very well in your family and career.  

In the past many great personalities have praised Bhagavad Gita because of the wisdom it contains. We found that people were finding it difficult to access this great wisdom because of their busy life and lack of interest. So with this in mind, Gita Champions League (GCL) contest was started to spread the profound wisdom of Bhagavad Gita in an interesting manner. 

We are very happy to announce that we are organizing

Great Men and Greatness

In educated society today, we are exposed to this concept of 'Great Men'. These Giants, these Tall men are said to rewrite the history of the world with their magnificent ideas and actions.

From a very young age, we are advised to read their biographies, their books etc. We are advised to emulate them and strive to develop a character like them. We are encouraged to be just like them.

 

The realization that I had never possessed the inclination to do all of the above, came to me a few days ago.

Srila Prabhupada

Prabhupada in ChilhoodEarly life: 
Born on September 1, 1896, the day after Janmastami, one of the most important vaishnava holidays, in a humble house in the Tollygunge suburb of Calcutta, he was named Abhay Charan, “one who is fearless, having taken shelter at Lord Krishna’s feet.” Since he was born on the day of Nandotsava (“the celebration of Nanda,” Krishna’s father, a traditional festival in honor of Krishna’s birth) he was also called Nandulal. His parents, Sriman Gour Mohan De and Srimati Raja

DEEP, MEANINGFUL REALIZATIONS

     

     AS YEAR 2012 is coming to a close, I am reflecting on all the service rendered to Lord Krsna by the prison ministry, and I feel very grateful to all who have been involved in pleasing the Lord in this way.

            In preparing more excerpts from inmates’ letters to share with the devotee community, I had to go over the ones that haven’t been published yet. Although a majority of them are from letters I have received in the course of the year, reading them again was as refreshing and

The Door (Story, Realizations)

Hare Krishna,

I have written this story to be used for preaching purposes and to be distributed among people uninterested in religion and philosophy, and among followers of various religions.

The idea of this story is to interest these people in Krishna-conscious philosophy, without labeling it as such, so as to make it more acceptable to people of other religions. This story is based it on Krishna-conscious philosophy but I have not mentioned Krishna's name anywhere, lest it appears biased or 'se

Free and Happy Within Prison Walls

by Mother Vinata, from Rejika Croatia

 

     "Where is your tilak?“ Candramauli Swami asked us as we gathered in front of Karlovac vege restaurant club, managed by local devotees, preparing to go for a preaching progam in a nearby prison. Quickly running to refresh my already invisible vaisnava marking, I overheard Maharaja quoting Prabhupada on the importance of wearing tilak and vaisnava clothes and remembered Sridhar Maharaja's instruction, "If you are unable to preach by explaining philosophy,

The most widely recognized concept of evolution ( ironically termed as scientific ), the theory which always points out to fossils for evidence, the theory every science student learns from his young age is certainly the “DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION”, which relies entirely upon “NATURAL SELECTION”, a process which is still not yet Scientifically proven.

           When a person generally comes across a picture of Charles Robert Darwin, he will be superficially convinced that Man originated from

Unity in Diversity by Radha Madhava Dasa


2514884128?profile=originalEight years ago, His Holiness Bhakti Svarupa Damodara Maharaja (aka Dr. T. D. Singh) asked me to present the teachings of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in a scientific way. I started to compile a book, and by the grace of Guru-Vaishnav-Bhagavan it is now completed.

2514884179?profile=originalIt is exciting to know who was the cow who participated in Lord Krsna’s pastimes, or who did severe penance to please the Lord or who appeared from the churning of the ocean. Are all the cows alike? Holy scriptures discriminate, as does Science – Bos Indicus and Bos Taurus. The book throws light on these aspects while discussing the different existing indigenous cow breeds of India; differences between indigenous cows and exotic cows; and difference between buffalo milk and cow milk. It gives bo
