Priest: Do you have what I might call a training in contemplation?

Srila Prabhupada: We worship God in nine ways. One is smaranam, remembering God's activities. That is contemplation.

Priest: You know, in Christian mysticism we have a process of contemplation that St. Theresa of Avila described in her book Interior Mansion. Anybody is able to make an ordinary prayer, but the real mystic prayer is not given to everyone.

Srila Prabhupada: Our mystic prayer is to think of God's activities. Anyone can

If you want to be a happier, less-stressed person, there is no better place to start than with becoming aware of “anticipatory thinking,” or an imagined future.

Essentially, this type of thinking involves imagining how much better your life will be when certain conditions are met – or how stressful, or difficult something is going to be at some point down the road. 

Typical anticipatory thinking sounds something like this

O Krishna when i ask you what is your the supreme instruction for me  you always say just one thing to me ....

"Just fix your mind upon Me,and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt"

But how is it possible to always engage mind & intelligence on to you Krishna??

In the Padma Purāṇa it is stated that even a person whose life is completely sinful will be completely protected by the Lord if he simply surrenders unto Him. So it is accepted that one who surrenders unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes free from all sinful reactions. And even when a person becomes an offender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, he can still be delivered simply by taking shelter of the holy names of the Lord: Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Har

Today while seeing a spider resting at center of the web, I had the below wonderful realizations:

• God is the Supreme Creator & Controller of all Universes as all the Universes & Galaxies created by HIM as the spider created the web around it.

• But the foolish individual web (circles) feel proud of themselves by thinking as how beautiful they are and they are proud of their existence and supremacy over other species of lives – (HUMAN BEINGS).

• Each of the individual web circle when sees or id

Urey and Miller followed the scientific method. Chemical compounds used by biological organisms were created using conditions simulating primordial earth, strongly suggesting that this method could eventually produce all the necessary compounds to allow the life force to settle in this realm.

In 1953 Urey and Miller, performed their famous expirement. Many say they proved life can come from chemicals. Their work ties in very nicely with the Big Bang Theory arising from Albert Einstein’s work and

Was Charles Darwin right about his theory? More importantly, how vital is it to find out the correct answer?

Unlike other scientific theories, Darwinian evolution touches not only science but also philosophy, morality, social science and even religion. Your worldview will be radically affected by how you answer the following question: Is Darwinian evolution true? So it's crucial to get it right!

After 150 years, much controversy still surrounds the theory of evolution. For instance, a recent CNN a

Once, long ago, on the shore of the river Sarasvati, a discussion arose among a group of sages as to which of the three chief lords-Brahmā, Vishnu or Shiva-is the greatest. They deputed Bhrigu Muni to investigate the matter.

Bhrigu decided to test the lords’ tolerance, for that quality is a sure sign of greatness. First he entered the court of Lord Brahmā, his father, without offering him any respect. This enraged Brahmā

Saintly or Sinful Act???

 Today (07.11.2012) at my work premises, I have seen one butterfly stuck in a big cobweb.  Seeing the pitiful condition of the butterfly and its struggle for life; I have released the butterfly from the cobweb by removing the cobweb around the butterfly with the aid of a stick.  As the butterfly was hanging to the stick, I have placed the butterfly on the ground by putting the stick on the floor.
