Adam Lanza killed 26 including 20 kids and his mother in Newtown, Conn.,elementary school, USA on Dec 24. Is it just the tip of the iceberg? Are we preparing ourselves to witness more such mayhem? Such tragedies shake our conscience and force us to introspect. How can one stoop so low that he can mercilessly massacre innocent children and his own mother? While murdering them what he would have been thinking and feeling? What was the state of his mind at that moment when he would be seeing the de

This ancient Vedic text gives an accurate map of the planetary orbits known to modern astronomy.

TODAY WE TAKE for granted that the earth is a sphere, but the early Greeks tended to think it was flat. For example, in the fifth century B.C. the philosopher Thales thought of the earth as a disk floating on water like a log. (1) About a century later, Anaxagoras taught that it is flat like a lid and stays suspended in air. (2) A few decades later, the famous atomist Democritus argued that the earth

How do we reconcile the Vedic idea that the sun moves around the earth with the scientific idea that the earth moves around the sun?

Quotes by scientists about how absolute motion has never been proven:

From Galileo was Wrong by Robert A Sungnis, PhD and Robert J Bennet, PhD

“…the unsuccessful attempts to establish a motion of the Earth…”

Albert Einstein27

“Briefly, everything occurs as if the Earth were at rest…”

Henrick Lorentz28

“There was just one alternative; the earth’s true velocity through spac

By the time the age of Kali ends, the bodies of all creatures will be greatly reduced in size, and the religious principles of followers of varṇāśrama will be ruined. The path of the Vedas will be completely forgotten in human society, and so-called religion will be mostly atheistic. The kings will mostly be thieves, the occupations of men will be stealing, lying and needless violence, and all the social classes will be reduced to the lowest level of śūdras. Cows will be like goats, spiritual he

Question to Radhanath Swami: Is it the innate nature of the mind to be disturbed continuously and ultimately get depressed?

Radhanath Swami: It is the not the nature of the mind to pursue selfishness and egoism and thus experience frustration and depression in due course of time. It is the nature of the mind to pursue the needs of the soul and thus find peace, compassion, happiness and ecstatic enlightenment. It is the actual nature of the mind to always be filled with transcendental pleasure. Th

Question to Radhanath Swami: In the path of Bhakti we are told to refrain from certain activities like meat eating for developing our love for God. But can’t I love God and simultaneously do these things? Love is not to be bound by rules and regulations. Why then do we have rules and regulations on the path of Bhakti?

Radhanath Swami: Unconditional love is a very high and pure platform. To get there we have to honestly begin from where we are. The beginning of love is to do what the beloved want

“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

That gemstone was protected by a scorpion in the cave hole which the robbers where unaware of .When the first robber put his hand in the cave hole to take the gemstone, he was bitten by the scorpion.He was about to make panic but he relented thinking that this would save his companion robbers from the pain of the scorpion bite he had gone through.So Instead of

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
