The Forest Fire

2515109997?profile=original

This world is compared to a forest fire caused by the cohesion of bamboo bushes. Such a forest fire takes place automatically, for bamboo cohesion occurs without external cause. Similarly, in the material world the wrath of those who want to impose their supremacy over material nature interacts, and the fire of war takes place, exhausting the unwanted population. The Lord has nothing to do with Such fires or wars that take place. But because He wants to maintain the creation, He desires the mas

Catch Krishna in Vrindavan - Bhakti Board Game

* Jai Radhe * Jai Krishna * Jai Vrindavan *

Who is Radha? Who is Krishna? What is Vrindavan? The mind seeks the answers for these questions, yet only heart can know this mystery. Strangely enough, I had so many times the experience that even people, who never had had any connection to Krishna before, felt somehow pulled to listening to the stories about him.

The Spiritual Navigator

Sitting by the beach this morning, after I finished my power-chanting, marvelled by the Lord's incredible natural creations, I decided to spend some more time relishing nectarean kirtans as the beautiful, glowing sun rose slowly over me, bringing a gleaming light to the beautiful white sand and blue sea.
