Distribution of my books is the most important thing. These other thing such as selling incense and records are not as important as this. I want that my books be distributed in huge quantities and thus we will be able to thoroughly convince the majority of population.
By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada
Veda Vyasa is not the origin of the Bhagavad Gita.
Bhagavan is the source of the Bhagavad Gita. Lord Krishna is the speaker of
the Bhagavad Gita; Veda Vyasa is only the compiler, editor, and publisher.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna declares to Arjuna, that He is God. If we
consider Him a LIAR and cannot accept Krishna as God, we cannot understand
the Bhagavad Gita.
Before we can understand the Book, we need to accept the credentials of the
Author. If we do not trust the Author, we will not trust His Bo

Hare Krsna.
I was reading about Vic DiCara's astrology at Astrological remedies. Two points he mention stuck me:
a) It is not our destiny that must be “remedied,”
it is our misuse of free will that requires a cure!
b) A “remedy” is really a treatment
to correct the flaw in how we deal with our present,
and thus create our future.
First and foremost cause of suffering is avidya, lack of knowledge. Thus the most essential of all remedies is knowledge itself.
Then, inattention while chanting the Holy Name. You should chant this Hare Krsna and you should hear also. If your mind is acting, the mind is somewhere else, and you are chanting, that is an offence. You should hear, this is called, Samadhi. If you chant and hear then your mind is interlocked by hearing and chanting, this is samadhi. Samadhi means trance, trance means completely absorbed. So by hearing and chanting act in both ways you’ll be in trance, and that trance will keep you in that tran
The Bhagavad Gita is not a mythological story.
Brought up as most children are, on a diet of comics and super-heroes, it is natural for us to speak of Krishna as one more fictional and mythic hero.
Nevertheless, Krishna is not a myth. He is not the figment of the
imagination of Veda Vyasa. He is not like Superman, Batman, or a hero from Star Wars. He is a genuine historical personality who walked on this earth more than 5,000 years.
Off the coast of Saurashtra, an Indian archeological expedit

Whenever I ger report of my books selling, I feel strength. Regarding book sales figures, please endeavor in this way. This is the only solace of my life. When I hear that my books are selling so nicely, I become energetic like a young man. – Srila Prabhupada, Sep 1974.
The Bhagavad Gita is the song of God.
Some interpreters see the Bhagavad Gita as an allegorical fable and dismiss
the war completely as a literary device.
Comparing Kurukshetra to the body, they believe Arjuna symbolizes the
Jivatma (individual soul) and Krishna the Paramatma (supersoul). The
Kauravas with their opposing army, apparently represent the thousands of
sinful inclinations that confront and threaten to overwhelm the individual
soul.
The battle of Kurukshetra is no fable or myth but

Hare Krishna,
Dandavat Pranams. Pls accept my humble obeisances.
To be honest, I have no qualification and with Giriraj Prabhuji setting such high standards that I almost feel ashamed and shy in penning my realizations……however I am still writing per instructions from my dear friend HG Giriraj Prabhu for whom I have very high respect and undoubtedly inexplicable love…
It is all due to causeless mercy of my Guru that he asked me to accompany him as his servant in USA. I reached here on 21st Nov 2014
