There is a misconception that the Krsna consciousness movement represents Hinduism. Krsna consciousness is in no way a faith or religion that seeks to defeat other faiths or religions. Rather, it is an essential cultural movement for the entire human society and does not consider any particular sectarian faith. This cultural movement is especially meant to educate people in how they can love God.

Sometimes Indians both inside and outside of India think that we are preaching the Hindu religion, bu

OBJECTION: In your arguments you have mostly quoted purana-vakya (quotes from Puranic texts) to substantiate your points. However, this is unacceptable. The Vedas are eternal as they emanate from the Lord Himself (apaurusaya), whereas the Puranas and smrti-sastras, although they give knowledge about God, are authored by men. They are auxiliary to the Vedas and hence their statements should be considered as secondary when compared to the statements made in the Vedas. Therefore, in order to valida

TRANSLATION
O Närada [the Lord spoke], I regret that during this lifetime you will not be able to see Me anymore. Those who are incomplete in service and who are not completely free from all material taints can hardly see Me.

The Personality of Godhead is described in the Bhagavad-gétä as the most pure, the Supreme and the Absolute Truth. There is no trace of a tinge of materi

So this mantra is required, the Vedic mantra, to hear mantra. This chanting of these verses is also hearing the Vedic mantra. So we should take chance, and the most important mantra is maha-mantra. Maha-mantra. We are sleeping, but this maha-mantra, Hare Krsna, if we hear somehow or other... Therefore the greatest beneficial activity or welfare activity is to chant this Hare Krsna maha-mantra so that others can hear. But unfortunately, when we chant loudly, others they think, "It is nuisance." T

One of the many services of the internet I had another great day distributing Srila Prabhupada's books at West Virginia University in Morgantown, USA. I approached a young couple and said, "Please, my dear friends! I want you to see these books!" Upon taking them for inspection, the man said that he already had them. I was surprised and asked how they were acquired. He said that he had been searching for spiritual literature and that Srila Prabhupada's books were the best ones h

PRABHUPADA TELLS A STORY

During Srila Prabhupada's last days in Vrndavana he used to be carried up and down the stairs in a palanquin-chair. His habit was to take rest during the day in his bed on the roof. One day, going up the narrow staircase from the first floor to the roof, Satadhanya Maharaja carried the rear portion of Prabhupada's palanquin by its two handles and another man carried the front. Tamala Krsna Gosvami led the group, and Upendra

Yoga means the connecting link between the soul and the Supersoul, or the Supreme and the minute living creatures. Lord Sri Krishna is that Supreme, the Personality of Godhead. Being, therefore, the ultimate object of yoga, Krishna's name is yogeshvara, the master of yoga.

When the yoga performance is described, it is said that Krishna's name is yogeshvara. No one can be a better yogi than the master of yoga, and Krishna

In 1959 two American atomic scientists, Dr. Emillo Segre and Dr. Owen Chamberlain were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the antiproton, proving (theoretically) that matter exists in two forms — as particles and antiparticles. According to one of the fundamental assumptions of the new theory, there may exist another world, or an anti-world, built up of anti-matter. This anti-material world would con

Today is Rasa-purnima. Many people have gathered in Navadvipa, Santipura, Vrndavana, Puri and other holy places. The purpose of these pilgrims is to take darsana of Sri Krsna’s rasa-lila. It is the opinion of those who are knowledgeable of their spiritual identity that there is no other greater s

There is no exact equivalent in the English vocabulary to explain the Sanskrit term ‘rasa’ as used in the context of transcendental relationships. The closest English word for rasaused by our acaryas in rendering English translations of Sanskrit literatures is ‘mellow’. Certainly, enough thought has been given before stopping at the word, ‘mellow’ for rasa. The origin of this word in English stems from the sense of ‘ripe’, ‘sweet’, and ‘juicy’ and is used to define something that is tempered by
