The Director of the Documentary film 'Krishna- History or Myth'

Did Krishna exist?

Most certainly, says Dr Manish Pandit, a nuclear medicine physician who teaches in the United Kingdom, proffering astronomical, archaeological, linguistic and oral evidences to make his case.

"I used to think of Krishna is a part of Hindu myth and mythology. Imagine my surprise when I came across Dr Narhari Achar (a professor of physics at the University of Memphis, Tennessee, in the US) and his research in 2004 and

Therefore samsara davanala-lidha-loka **. The whole material world is blazing fire. Samsara davanala-lidha-loka-tranaya karunya-ghanaghanatvam **. Now, this davanala... Just like in the forest, you cannot send your fire brigade. That is not possible. Neither you can go there to help the animals for extinguishing the fire by bucketful of waters. That is also not possible. Helpless. Similarly, this samsara davanala, you cannot extinguish it. So how it will be extinguished? Samsara davanala-lidha-l

Please accept our humble pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Gurudev.

Miseries are like uninvited guests at home. They keep coming and going in our lives. Srila Prabhupada very nicely mention in his book Science of Self realisation very nicely mentions that, "In this material worl

Bhagavan, in His any form, He is mukta-linga. As we have got linga, deha, linga, this material body, and we have got our spiritual body also... The spiritual body is covered by the material coating. This is not our actual body. But in the case of Supreme Personality of Godhead, there is no such difference. Deha, dehi. As we have got difference... Dehino 'smin yatha deha. Deha and dehi. Dehi means the owner of the body. Just like I say, "It is my body." I don't say, "It is I body." Everyone has g

A Vedic Perspective

An excerpt from Dialectical Spiritualism: A Vedic View of Western Philosophy, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness

In Dialectical Spiritualism (a book in manuscript), Srila Prabhupada examines with his disciples the ideas of the West's major philosophers. What follows is taken from his discussions about Aristotle.

These are the opening remarks by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada from a conversation between him and some of his disciples that took place in Bombay on April 17, 1977.

Srila Prabhupada: From the Vedic literature we learn that the fallen soul transmigrates from body to body. He "evolves" from lower material bodies to higher bodies from fish to plant to insect to bird to beast. And then he gets the bod

Kirtana - the Next Big Thing

When Srila Prabhupada sat down in Tompkins Square Park, New York in 1966, pulled out a small pair of hand cymbals, and began singing kirtana, nobody in the small crowd that gathered had heard this chanting before. It was a sublime, yet strange experience, as the listeners heard the exotic Sanskrit mantras for the first time.

Fast forward to the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, and the most likely place that you would expect to hear kirtana was on the sidewalks of the world’s big citie

So in the Kali-yuga we do not expect everyone to be very great scholar. That is not possible. But if he knows what is the aim of education, what is the objective of education, then he is also scholar. Just like our Gaura-Kisora dasa Babaji Maharaja. He was illiterate. He could not sign his name even. But he became the spiritual master of the best scholar of his time, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati. So it is not the education, ABCD. In Bengal we say anguam(?). No. What is the purport of education? The

Here we continue a conversation between His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the mother of one of his students,
along with a Jesuit priest. It took place in the garden at Bhaktivedanta Manor, near London, England, on July 25, 1973.

Mother (to Srila Prabhupada): Yes, Father, I understand you are educated on a different platform, as you say no doubt a most sublime and spiritual platform. But aren't you
