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

     "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.

It 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?

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

College Preaching Success

Thank you, Vijaya prabhu, for the wonderful service of churning and sending out the sankirtan nectar. The following is a recent response from a student in Boulder. We recently met with him for a couple of days, upon returning to Colorado. He is already organizing a Krishna conscious club on campus. It is inspiring to see Srila Prabhupada's words penetrating the hearts of these sincere seekers.

Kesava Bharati Maharaja tells how during the intense weeks preceding a San Francisco Rathayatra, he

Lecture By H.H.Bhakti Vikasa Swami Maharaj

So better to leave it to use on senior devotees, Guru’s and maharaj’s and if you have time use it for reading and distributing srila prahupada’s books.

I myself is not on face book,I decided that not to go in too much,So many people ask me ‘add me as friend’.I believe that it should be used only for preaching purpose.Because of Facebook our senses became impersonal, We are not meeting with people in real. And there is no direct contact.
