Fund-raising and Friend-raising

2514930155?profile=original

By His Holiness Sridhar Swami

There is a saying that if you have to do something, there is two ways that you can do it. One is in an organized way and the other is in a disorganized way. Now, if you do things in a disorganized way, you may not get such good results, but if you have a plan, if you have a system, a technique, a method, the chances are that you will get better results. This is common sense. 

As an institution, we are not that old. In fact, we are still in diapers practically. Still “

GOD NEVER RETIRES

God Retires! A presumptuous headline beamed through all the major dailies of India in Oct. The occasion was the retirement of Sachin Tendulkar, one of the most celebrated cricketers of modern times. His fans eulogized him: “Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God”.

It showcases the illiteracy which has penetrated in Indian society about God and religion. It seems that Indians have forgotten the meaning of God and religion. Considered to be the holiest place on earth; people from all over the

Today scientists rely on powerful telescopes and sophisticated computers to formulate cosmological theories. In former times, people got their information from traditional books of wisdom. Followers of the Vedic culture, for example, learned abou

Thought Of The Day

Prabhupada: Difference is it is Krsna's desire. He wants that "Don't remain like cats and dogs. Be intelligent and come back to Me." Krsna says sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja [Bg. 18.66]. So it is the duty of a devotee of Krsna to spread this knowledge so that they may take to Krsna. The cats and dogs, they cannot understand, but those who are two-legged cats and dogs, (laughs) they can understand. That is the advantage, because they have got two legs. So long they had four legs

can scientist believe in god??

 

 

 

If I want to see myself in a mirror the preexisting requirement is a sun, which can give light by which I can see myself in the mirror. Similarly if we want to know about ourselves we have to have some background knowledge about the source of all knowledge- the supreme intelligent being - God. That is why our first session is, ‘can a scientist believe in God?
