Sanatan Dharma

The Only Religion Of The World

There is no ritual of "conversion" in Sanatan Dharma because you don't convert to it, you can only return to it.

Meaning in Hindi !

सनातन धर्म में धर्म परिवर्तन की कोई विधि नहीं है ,

क्योंकि सनातन धर्म में परिवर्तन नहीं हो सकता ,

सनातन धर्म में तो सिर्फ लौटा जा सकता है !

इसलिए जब आप अपनी राह भूल जाएँ और महस

Prabhupada: Guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana [Cc. Adi 7.71]. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also presented Himself as idiot number one. He said to Prakasananda Sarasvati. Prakasananda Sarasvati asked Him that "You are a sannyasi. You do not read Vedanta and You chant and dance. What is this?" So He answered, guru more murkha dekhi' karila sasana. "My guru found Me a fool number one, so he has chastised Me, 'You rascal, You are fool, You cannot read Vedanta. You Chant Hare Krsna.' " So it is good that

Everyone wants to become God, imitator. Imitation. Therefore they say, "Why Kṛṣṇa shall be alone God? I am God." 

You are God. That's all right. But you are not the Supreme God. Why you forget that? You may be a God at home of your wife, but when you go to your office, you are not god; your master is god. He directs you to do something; you have to do it.

So we may claim that "Every one of us, we are God," but nobody can claim that "We are supreme; I am Supreme God." That is not possible. That

His followers revere him as an incarnation of Krishna, prophesied in the later chapters of The Srimad Bhagavam, who appeared to teach the path of Bhakti.

If you become yourself Krsna conscious, and if you try to make your son Krsna conscious, that you can do. And that is the duty, real duty. Other things, you cannot do anything. That is destiny. And if you make him Krsna conscious, then destiny can also be changed. This is the concession of Krsna consciousness. De

Struggle with Sex Desire

Transcription By: Shalini Ahaluwalia Mataji

Edited By: Murlidhar Prabhu (Murli Thundi)
