The relevance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita in today’s age

The question of relevance for such topics comes into picture whenever certain systems of knowledge and certain practices are perceived to be outdated due to dynamically changing social structures and a widespread discomfort for anything labeled as religious, dogmatic or sectarian. The focus for this article is to try and brush aside these biases and objectively study the relevance of this very old but thoroughly timely system of knowledge in th

1. Do the one thing that you aren’t doing now, but if you did do it well and regularly, would have the greatest impact in your life.
2. The 80/20 rule. 80% of the most important things to do in life are on the top 20% of your prioritized list. Therefore, put “First things First.”
3. Life has “speed bumps”—slow down, deal with the inevitable problems, and go on
4. Who said life was suppose to be “fair”?
5. Ask yourself: “Is this going to be important to me one year from now?”
6. Remember, in 80 years from now, practica

Brother Hammer served as the chairman. The other members of the tool belt informed him that he must leave, because he was too noisy. But brother Hammer said, "If I have to leave this carpenter's shop, then
brother Gimlet must go too. He's insignificant and makes a very small
impression." (A gimlet is a small tool with a sc...rew point, grooved shank, and a cross handle for boring holes).

Truly, Faith is the life-giving tree of Bliss,

It stems from the root of devotion,

It is nourished by the determination of the devotee,

It flowers by the Grace of the Guru,

It fructifies with the Blessings of the Lord,

And then it reaches out to the hearts of others,

To seed, and take root, once again…

Thank you Devotees for the seeds you have sown,

For Faith is the offspring of Faith, in oneself and in others… :)

By far the spiritual medical tour has been Mayapur Worldwide’s best tour till date. On my way back I kept asking Krsna why this tour was so extra special compared to any other we had conducted in the past.
The answers came in many ways. We were serving the hands that heal. These were HIS servants. And HIS servants are very dear to him. Every medical staff in the group came from different faiths but their faith lie in God.

"The Sacred Necklace"

One morning in Vrindavana, I was sitting in my house chanting my rounds when my disciple Narottam Das Thakur Das came to see me. He offered his respectful obeisances and then spoke. "Guru Maharaja," he said, "it's been a long time since I have visited Govardhana Hill. If you don't have any service for me today, I would like your blessings to go on Govardhana parikrama." "You're free to go," I said. "Just be back in t
