Vedic Cosmology

Vedic Physics - The Nature Of Space, Time, And Matter

 

(Sadaputa das: Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy, Chapter 2)

 

  "By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal" (SB 1.1.1).   Our ideas of the nature of space, time, and matter are essenti

Thought Of The Day

So it doesn't matter whether one is rich, one is poor, the material condition, both of them will have to suffer. The material condition. So karmatmakam. If you continue to absorb your mind in fruitive activities, that "I shall work and I shall get the result and I shall enjoy," this is called karmatmakam. So if you do not fulfill your desire, then nature will give you next life another body to fulfill that desire. This is going on. So therefore it is parabhava. Your business is that to know that

Good to be a Servant of God

Good to be a Servant of God

2514886010?profile=original

Our devotees regularly distribute books in the trains, and often many Muslims buy our books. They respond better than many Hindus.

Once, Nitai met a Muslim who purchased three books (Bhagavad Gita, Krishna book, and the Ramayana). The man wanted more books, so Nitai took a contact number. Finally, the Muslim asked our devotee's name.

"Nitai Dasa."
The Muslim was impressed and said, "Oh, it is very good that you want to become dasa. Many foolish people wish to become God."

On matter and spirit…

Everything that exists is a product of matter and spirit. Spirit is the basic field of creation, and matter is created by spirit.

On the nature of the soul …

The individual particle of spirit soul is a spiritual atom smaller than the material atoms, and such atoms are innumerable. This very small spiritual s

Krishna Consciousness

The aim of this Krishna consciousness movement is to bring all living entities back to their original consciousness. All living entities within the material world are, to varying degrees, afflicted with a type of madness. This Krishna consciousness movement aims at curing man of his material disease and reestablishing his original consciousness. In a Bengali poem a great Vaisnava poet has written, "When a man is haunted by ghosts, he can only speak nonsense. Similarly, anyone who is under the in

Devotee: Darwin tried to show how the origin of living species could be fully explained by the purely mechanical, unplanned action of natural forces. By the process he called "natural selection," all the higher, complex forms of life gradually evolved from more primitive and rudimentary ones.

Aham Brahmasmi: (Sanskrit: अहं ब्रह्मास्मि aham brahmāsmi) "I am Brahman" I am Spirit Soul.

Brahman means: spiritual, and aham-brahmasmi means: I am a spirit soul. I am not this body."The symptoms of the self-realized person are given herein. The first symptom is that he is not illusioned by the false identification of the body with his true self. He knows perfectly well that he is not this material body, but spirit soul, the frag

Krishna was hungry. He wanted milk and so he went to his mother. Mother Yasoda was churning butter at that time. When she saw Krishna, she immediately understood that he was hungry and so she started feeding him. Meanwhile a pot of milk which was getting boiled on the oven started overflowing. Mother Yasoda kept Krishna aside and rushed to attend the boiling milk on the oven. Seeing that Mother Yasoda had stopped feeding him the milk, Krishna became angry. He hit the pot of churning butter with

Krishna means the highest pleasure

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Krishna—this sound is transcendental. Krishna means the highest pleasure. All of us, every living being, seeks pleasure. But we do not know how to seek pleasure perfectly. With a materialistic concept of life, we are frustrated at every step in satisfying our pleasure because we have no information regarding the real level on which to have real pleasure.

We have to understand the fact that, we are not this body; we are c

Devotion – The Highest Yoga

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

The word yoga has become synonymous in Western vernacular with a lithe figure, radiant health, peace of mind, and other material benefits. But the original meaning of the Sanskrit term carries a different, higher import: linking with the Supreme. In this lecture from 1968, Srila Prabhupada distinguishes the true goal of yoga loving devotion to the Supreme Lord from

"Worry destroys our intelligence, charm and eloquence. Worry is a very unfortunate thing. Infact it is like funeral pyre - since it burns us alive. "

Back To Basics Creation

Back To Basics Creation

The Vedic version of creation clearly explains step by step how it takes place and it is important to know at least the principal sequence. As you will see from the information given below, creation starts with the topmost spiritual planet, eternally manifested by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, and ends with the manifestation of the lower, material energy. In other words, the model is exactly the opposite of present day scientists who claim that everything come
