“To err is human, to forgive divine.” You might as well insert the word “yourself” into this all-so-true observation about being human. 

Let’s face it. We are human, and to be human means you’re going to make errors, at least some of the time. You’re going to make plenty of mistakes, mess up from time to time, lose your way, forget things, lose your temper, say things you shouldn’t have, and all the rest. 

I’ve never under

One of Lord Chaitanya's most wonderful pastime:

Each day after Mahaprabhu had accepted prasada at noon, Govinda (Mahaprabhu's personal secretary) would massage Him for a few minutes. After Gauranga had fallen asleep,Govinda would honour His maha-prasad remnants. But on the day of extended kirtana Gaurahari was so exhausted that on returning to His room He collapsed in the doorway. When asked to move slightly aside so that Govinda could enter to massage Him, Mahaprabhu replied, "I am too tired to

This is the prayer of Prahlāda Mahārāja, a great devotee of Lord. So he has described that although he was born of an atheistic family, but still, Kṛṣṇa, or God, does not take account of a devotee, in which family he belongs. Kṛṣṇa does not take account, God does not take account of the family of breeding. He's equally kind to everyone. You have seen t

Question: Scientific advancement in fields like artificial intelligence promises to produce conscious robots. When consciousness is thus produced by robots, will the soul hypothesis – the theory that the soul is the source of consciousness – be disproved?

Answer: No. The advances in artificial intelligence are proving, not disproving, the soul hypothesis. Let’s see how.

Most of us get our ideas of scientific advancement in artificial intelligence from science fiction movies depicting conscious rob

Question: Researchers have found precise correlations between specific areas of the brain and particular emotions. Doesn’t this make the idea of soul as the source of emotions redundant?

Answer: No, because correlation doesn’t imply causality.

Here’s an example to understand the difference. Suppose a tragedy novel leads to a spate of suicides. A researcher investigating the cause of the suicides, makes a detailed study of the number of times the letter “A” occurs in the book and then proposes a t

Question: When I talk about God, soul, rebirth, people often question: why discuss such unscientific things in this modern age of science?

Answer: Their question originates not from their scientific thinking, but from their belief in scientism, the peculiar school of thought that places around science a halo of “omniscience.”

The reputed physicist Fritjof Capra in his well-known book The Tao of Physics explains how scientific knowledge is like a map. Just as a map helps in navigating the mapped t
