Digambara: Some people say that society is advancing with the increase of knowledge in the world, and eventually it will be like heaven on earth.

Advaita: That is simply fantasy. It is quite extraordinary that people have faith in this, and it is even more bizarre that others have the audacity to propagate such a view without actually believing it themselves.

In fact, the mind is our only enemy.......................Nectarean Mellows

Bhagavad-Gita tells us - for one who controls the mind, the minds is the best of friends. But for one who fails to do so, the mind is the greatest enemy. In fact, the mind is our only enemy. And the nature of the mind, although it is impelling, dictating to exterminate innocent people, the mind is inciting civilizations to create massive degree of nuclear bombs to even drop

Bhagavad-gita eCourse 2013 by BhaktiLife.org

Bhagavad-gita should be read daily. One principle reason for Lord Krsna's advent on earth was to deliver His personal instructions in the form this text.

Anyone studying Bhagavad-gita carefully will have a life-changing experience.even if they have read the book before. Bhagavad-gita is a living scripture, existing on the Absolute plane of existence. It never grows old because it is filled with axiomatic truths which ring true eternally.

GITA JAYANTI CELEBRATIONS

On December 19, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) temple in Noida celebrated Gita Jayanti, in commemora

Because we become diseased, we become subject to birth and death, we... This is all due to our sinful activities. Why are repeatedly...? We are eternal. Na hanyate hanyamane sarire [Bg. 2.20]. This is our position, that we do not die even after the body's destruction. Then why should I be in this position, that repeatedly I have to die, I have to give up this body, again accept another body, again suffer? This is the problem, but mudha, duskrtina, they do not see to the real problem. That is the

If one has got sincere desire to serve Krsna in any position, in any body, in any circumstance, he is jivan-mukta. That is paramahamsa. Jivan-mukta means although he's living in this body, he's paramahamsa. He has nothing to do with this body. He has everything to do with Krsna.

The Bollywood movie Oh My God! fittingly exposed the arrogance and hypocrisy of godmen. It also made several important points about specific religious practices as well as the generic role of religion in society.
Oh My God! QA blog will respond to those points by answering all the popping questions daily like,

• Does God help atheists and oppose godmen?
• Is religion made by

Navina Nirada Dasa
ONCE IN San Diego a devotee was distributing small books in a parking lot. As he approached one car he saw a young man sitting in the driver's seat. When the devotee knocked on the window, the man shouted, "Look, just leave me alone! Get outta here!"

The devotee went on his way, but then he thought, "This guy's pretty bad off. He needs a book." So the devotee returned and stuck a small book under the windshield wiper.

Later the young man showed up at the San Diego temple and told

In this way we are wandering throughout the universe, because unless we become Krsna conscious, unless we have taken fully shelter at the lotus feet of Krsna, there is no stoppage of this repetition of birth and death, neither there is any peace or happiness. We must know this from all angles of vision and stick to Krsna consciousness very rigidly. Then we shall be happy. Therefore Prahlada Maharaja requests Lord Nrsimhadeva that "I have tried life after life to get peace and become happy and fr

How to conquer this all-devouring sinful enemy - Lust? There is a method ... and it is a sure 100% method; and the Supreme Lord showed us this method in a wonderful way. He sent to this world, lust personified Ravana. Ravana was the most striking emblem of lust in the history of all creation.

Sita Devi is the wife of Rama. Sita is none other than an expansion of Lakshmi Devi, the goddess of fortune.

All the fortune of the world is the energy of Sita. What is fortune? Fortune does not simply mea

So people have fallen so much. But we should not be like that. Those who have taken to Krsna consciousness... Of course, a Krsna conscious person is never afraid of any species of life -- provided there is Krsna consciousness continuing. That's all. That is wanted. We are not afraid of becoming a dog, provided I can remember Krsna. This is our position. Just like Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, kita janmaobi, iccha yadi tora. Bhaktivinoda Thakura said, "I don't mind if I am born as a kita, or an inse
