Thought Of The Day

Therefore this consciousness can be awakened in this human form of life. We can take education. We can understand from Vedic knowledge what is our position, what is our relationship with God, how we shall act in that relationship. These are the opportunities in this human form of life -- not in the form of cats and dogs. So in spite of getting this opportunity, if we do not understand God, if we do not understand what is our relationship with God, then according to sastra it is called atma-han.

“Suicide rates are increasing at an alarming rate today. Suicide rates are higher between the age group of 15 – 29. Peer pressure, high academic expectations, job anxiety etc. have been the major reasons for suicide. However, today the situation is so deplorable that young students are ending their life for trivial reasons - an IIT student committed suicide because he was not able to secure admission to the branch of his own choice. Human life is precious, but the youths are getting so overwhel

The distressed – e.g Gajendra

Those who knows things as they are e.g. Saunaka Rishi

So ultimate profit of life is to go back to home, back to Godhead. Because we are suffering on account of separation from God. This is our cause of suffering. Instead of becoming servant of God we have become the servant of senses. That is the cause of our suffering. Therefore three things, if we can understand thoroughly, that Krsna, or God, is the proprietor and enjoyer of the whole universe or creation and...

Krishna is individual and we are individuals

Posted by Purushottam Nitai Das on October 16, 2012 at 6:07am

Many people have misconception that after performing certain type of meditation he/she can become God by merging into God. However none of the revealed scriptures support this argument. In fact we are always individual and we will always remain so.

Nowhere in Bhagavad – gita it is said that Arjuna wanted to merge with Lord Krishna. Bhagavad – gita clearly says that the Supreme Lord is individual and the living entities are individuals.

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor a

Capital punishment is required. Nowadays the capital punishment is excused. Murderers are not hanged. This is all mistake, all rascaldom. A murderer must be killed. No mercy. Why a human killer? Even an animal killer should be immediately hanged. That is kingdom. The king should be so strict. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bhagavad-gita 2.3 — London, August 4, 1973

When Krsna was on this earth, all the residents of Vrndavana loved Him. Indeed, they knew nothing but Krsna. They did not know whether Krsna is God or not God, nor were they disturbed by such thoughts as, "I shall love Krsna if He is God." Their attitude was one of pure love, and they thought, "He may or may not be God it doesn't matter. We love Krsna, that's

So we have to understand, as Krsna says, bijo 'ham sarva-bhutanam: "I am the seed." Such subtle things, how it is coming out? In the small seed what is the chemical composition? You put the seed, sow the seed, anywhere and put little water, that tejo-vari-mrd-vinimayah, but the things are coming out differently. How the variety is possible? Therefore we cannot mix up.

Spark is nothing but fire. It has all the qualities of the fire. But when the spark gets separated from the fire and falls on ash then it loses its fiery quality and it becomes ash. Similarly we are parts and parcel of the Lord and in the spiritual world we were happily living with Krishna. However we misused our intelligence and decided to enjoy separately from the lord. Krishna confirms this in Bhagavad – gita (15.7), “The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental par
