Thought Of The Day

Beyond the universe, there is spiritual sky. There are also different planets. But in those planets the predominating deity is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. And in this material world, in each and every planet, the predominating deity or the person is a very pious human being or living being. Generally, human being. In other higher planetary system they are also like human being. Their features are exactly like us: two hands, two legs, one head, like that. But they are very pious.

Gardener Manidas

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

Story: Gardener Manidas

One need not be a man of letters to be devoted to God. A pure humble devotion takes him closer to God than a sea of learning.
Once upon a time there lived a gardener called Manidas in Poori. He made his livelihood by selling flowers. He was not an educated man nor was he rich as per the norms of the modern society. But he is more than any educated man by virtue of his nature. He was compassionate ,

The most widely recognized concept of evolution ( ironically termed as scientific ), the theory which always points out to fossils for evidence, the theory every science student learns from his young age is certainly the “DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION”, which relies entirely upon “NATURAL SELECTION”, a process which is still not yet Scientifically proven.

           When a person generally comes across a picture of Charles Robert Darwin, he will be superficially convinced that Man originated from

Thought Of The Day

So human life, especially meant for understanding what is God and what is the law of God and how to follow it and achieve success in life. That is human life. Sambandha, abhidheya and prayojana. Sambandha means first of all we must understand what is our relationship with this material world or with God. So many there are. Everything is relative -- this is a relative world. So what is the relativity between God and ourself? There must be God. The atheist class of men, they deny the existence of

The Lord is never Silent

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

 Nature of God's mercy (daya)
According to the Southern school, God, out of His unbounded compassion, actually suffers whenever His devotees suffer (paradukha-dukhitvam). This should not, however, be construed as a defect or imperfection. He shares in their sufferings even as He participates in their happiness. This only indicates His infinite compassion. Rama, as Valmiki depicts, used to suffer greatly when his subjects

Special reasoning power of the human being

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 

The Bhagavad-gita says that out of many thousands of human beings, one may try to make perfection of his life. Man is an animal, but he has one special prerogative, rational thought. What is that rational thought? Reasoning power, argument. Now, reasoning power is there in dogs and cats as well. Suppose a dog comes up to you; if you say, "Hut!" he'll understand. The dog will understand that you don't want him. So, he ha
