"Time is called kala--past, present and future. What is now present, tomorrow will be past, and what is now future, tomorrow will be present. But this past, present and future are the past, present and future of the body. We do not belong to the category of the past, present and future. We belong to the category of eternity. Therefore one should be concerned with how to attain or how to be elevated to the platform of eternity. The developed consciousness of the human being should be utilized not

"According to the Vedic teachings, anyone who does not accept the Vedic way of life, he is called atheist. Therefore, according to Vedantists, Buddhists are called atheist. Actually Buddha philosophy does not accept God, neither soul. They simply philosophize on the material elements, and they want to finish the material exis..., dismantle the material elements. Nirvana. So Caitanya Mahaprabhu has remarked that the Buddhists are honest. They frankly say that "We don't accept your Vedas." But the

Suffering from many mosquito bites, I went into the washroom where I felt I had been bitten, and foolishly killed many mosquitoes. My conscience then told me that perhaps I had done wrong. I went and inquired from Srila Prabhupada.
"You should not kill them. They are poor creatures. It is better to prevent them from biting by using a net."
"But in the washroom, how can I use a net?"
"It is better still not to kill the

The nature of a Vaisnava is that he wants to give Krsna Consciousness to everyone. So each devotee should chant the holy name and spread the glories of the maha-mantra to everyone, and that is preaching. A Vaisnava preaches because he is concerned. A Vaisnava , having a spiritual mission, tries to guide blind people to the path of spiritual advancement.

We are all more or less proud of our past Indian civilization, but we actually do not know the real nature of that civilization. We cannot be proud of our past material civilization, which is now a thousand times greater than in days gone by. It is said that we are passing through the age of darkness, the Kali-yuga. What is this darkness? The darkness cannot be due to backwardness in material knowledge, because we now h

Work Hard like a Donkey, Earn a lot of Money,
Fill up your belly and go for TV or a movie
Wine, women and party, life seems so jolly,
Mobile and laptop so handy; fly abroad and make merry
Keep yourself busy and “Be in the Present”, don’t worry
Eat out what is tasty and drink lots of Pepsi
Right or wrong? Don’t worry, and do what makes you happy
Forget Stress and Hyper-tension, Is money not Honey?
O! Mr. & Mrs. Rat, hear me,

Learning from the ocean..………..
During the monsoon rains a puddle of water gets bigger and bigger, and during the dry season the puddle of water dries to nothing. It is very much affected by the rains. But whether it is the dry season or the monsoon, the ocean remains the same. What is the difference? The puddle has no depth! Therefore it’s completely affected by its environment and the circumstances. But the ocean in it

Alex and his wife came to visit Srila Prabhupada and to inform him of their activities. They had purchased a temple for the devotees in San Diego. Their company, Prasadam Distribution International, produces a cookie product called "Bionic Bits," which is being distributed very professionally.

In the morning, Srila Prabhupada spoke of how so much land was being offered to us. "Our program is to engage the villagers for cultivating the land, and they can enjoy the produce."
A newspaper clipping was received from Jayatirtha Prabhu about Maharishi. Srila Prabhupada commented, "Simply rubbish. Anyone who reads this article will understand how bogus he is. So one can fly. What does he gain? Crows are also f

Sri Suta Goswami said, "Oh sages, let me offer my humble and respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord Hari, Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the son of Devaki and Vasudeva, by whose mercy I can describe the fast day that removes all kinds of sins.

Great-learned sages have selected these twenty-four narrations from the eighteen Puranas,
