I Am Your Neighbour and Want to Share Something Beautiful

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

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.

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

     "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.
