Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Today before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Today before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

So just try to understand how much people were advanced in the previous ages. The Bhagavad-gītā talks took place between Krishna and Arjuna in the battlefield just on the verge of the battle’s beginning. So how much time could they spare? Utmost, half an hour – not more than that. So within half an hour, this Bhagavad-gītā was taught to Arjuna, and he could understand it, and then he agreed to fight (nasto mohah smrtir

The sparrow challenged the ocean, “Return my eggs else I will dry you”. Hearing this ocean started laughing. The ocean had stolen the eggs of the sparrow and the little bird wanted her eggs badly. She was determined to get it back. And so with her tiny little peek she took a few drops of water from the ocean and threw it on the surface. She did it again and again. Everyone was amused; the ocean could not control his laughter. But nothing deterred the sparrow. She continued with her endeavour wit

This material world is blazing fire. Blazing fire means the forest fire. The forest fire... The example is very typical, because nobody goes to set fire in the forest, neither it is possible to extinguish the fire in the forest by your so many counteractive methods. This is very appropriate example. Similarly, in the material existence nobody wants any trouble, but automatically the trouble comes. Everyone has got experience: everyone is trying for happiness -- nobody wants for distress -- but d

Utsaha in the Better Half

Not to be left behind, the mataji's spearheaded by MadhuPriya Mataji were some of the most active book-distributors during the last marathon. On many occasions, scenting an opportunity, they grabbed the initiative from their better halves and not surprisingly have awe-inspiring stories to narrate.

Madhu Priya Mataji had a simple and effective formula. She would always carry Bhagavad-Gita with her each time she stepped out of her house. Coming down and going up the elevato

Question: I have read in an article that brahma-gayatri worships Srimati Radharani. Where does this conception have its origin?

Answer: The origin of gayatri is Krsna Himself and therefore the conception of gayatri worshiping Srimati Radharani finds its primeval origin in Krsna. The meaning of brahma-gayatri is self-effulgent; "Above the three planes of mundane experience, bhur, bhuvah, svah, is the soul, savitur, who shows us everything just like the sun. Above the soul is the super-subjective p

So this false ego, "I am this material body. I belong to this material world, I belong to this community, sect, or nation," so many, they are all based on ahankara. Ahankara-vimudhatma kartaham iti manyate [Bg. 3.27]. Actually, every one of us who are in this material world, they are, we are all under the full control of this illusory energy and working differently according to the influence of the different modes of material nature. I am not real karta. Prakrteh kriyamanani gunaih karmani [Bg.

All religions mentions about *God*. But only in Bhagavad Gita, the God speaks to us in detail about Himself, His Philosophy and finally He displays to us His *Universal Form* ( Viswaroopa*.  

God is never an object of isolation but the very core of our being. He is seated in our heart as *Paramathma* (Super-soul) . The difference between self ( Jivathma or Individual Soul)  and *Super-soul*  is just like the wave and the

The Gayatri Mantra consists of twenty-four syllables - three lines of eight syllables each. The first line (Aum Bhur Bhuvah Swah) is considered an invocation, and is not technically a part of the original Gayatri Mantra as it appears in the Upanishads. Gayatri is also referred to as a Vedic poetic meter of 24 syllables or any hymn composed in this meter. Hence, there exists a whole family of Gayatri Mantras, which serve as meditative aids to pray for t

Once, a king wanted to test the attitude of his citizens during a crisis. One night he placed a big stone in the middle of the road and he hid himself.  As the day began people began their chores. The moment they saw the big stone which was causing disturbance they started cursing the stone and the person who had placed the stone in the middle of the road. Entire day passed and no one took the trouble to remove it. Finally one sane man took the initiative and removed the stone.  Most of us are l

Sankirtan Story from Italy

From Raghunath dasa:

In June, in Forlì, Italy, as I was entering a big office building, I was suddenly stopped by a security guard who inquire boldly:
"Who are you? Where are you going?"

She was a young lady, and she seemed quite severe and determined to not let me enter. When I presented myself and explained in a few words about our mission she changed positively and asked:
"Don't you need a security guard for your community? I'm tired of working for these people."
