Obstacles and problems are a part of life. True happiness comes not when we get rid of all of our problems, but when we change our relationship to them, when we see our problems as a potential source of advancement in Krishna Consciousness, opportunities to practice patience, and to learn to depend on Krishna more and more.

Look at the examples. If police has to catch a missing person in absence of his/her picture, they just ask the person (who has seen that  miss

The Bhagavad-Gita is teaching real religion. Real religion means the word of God, no one else’s word and one who humbly & submissively hears the word of God and repeats that word. What is the qualification to preach the Gita? Not to be a great scholar, not to be necessarily be a bhahman by birth, not to be a gyani who can speculate and invent all sorts of beautiful and wonderful analogies to attract people’s minds, not one who can present so many flowery words that he could mesmerize the audienc
