Dear Sir: With reference to your article in the Los Angeles Times dated Sunday, January 11, 1970, under the heading “Krishna Chant,” I beg to point out that the Hindu religion is perfectly based on the personal conception of God, or Vishnu.The impersonal conception of God is a side issue, or one of the three features of God. The Absolute Truth is ultimately the Supreme Personality

Dear Swamiji:

Thank you very much for sending me a copy of your letter to the Los Angeles Times, now also published in the Daily Californian. I think you will agree with me that apart from publicity, little is gained by discussing religious or philosophic issues through interviews and letters in the press; but allow me to make two brief observations.

First, I know that devotion to Kr

Rivers are natural resources to the world.

The river Yamuna is one of the two biggest rivers (other being Ganges) which flow through the world’s largest river basin- The Ganga river Basin. This basin area is approximately 1,086,000 square kilometers and has a population of 500 million. This area is also the land to one of the most ancient civilization known.

Even one wrong habit can disturb your health permanently. We all know drinking spoils the liver,smoking spoils the lungs,I have been proud about having no such vice, but one thing got me down- chocolates. Being a non-smoker,non-alcoholic,and a pure vegetarian,I was sure things would work out fine on my health front, but I was in for a shock.I had developed a habit of munching chocolates whenever I got a chance.I would make sure the chocolate did not contain eggs, and would then feast on them.Thi

It is natural that a philosophical mind wants to know about the origin of the creation. At night he sees the stars in the sky, and he naturally speculates about their inhabitants. Such inquiries are natural for man because man has a developed consciousness which is higher than that of the animals. The author of Srimad-Bhagavatam (Vyasadeva) gives a direct answer to such inquiries. He says that the Lord Sri Krishna is th

There lived on Mount Sumeru a powerful Vanara leader named Keshari. His wife, Anjana, was beautiful beyond compare. One day Vayu, the wind god, saw her standing alone and he desired union with her. After uniting with her in his mystical yoga form, she conceived a child who was named Hanuman. He cried out in hunger and Anjana placed him down amid some reeds while she went to collect forest

An old farmer lived on his farm in the mountains with his young grandson. Each morning he got up early, sat at the kitchen table, and read His Bhagavad-gita. His grandson wanted to be just like his grandfather, so tried to emulate him in every way he could.

One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa, I try to read the Bhagavad-gita just like you do, but I don’t understand most of it, and whatever I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. So what good is it doing me to read the Bhagavad-gita

While in Puri he decided to challenge this strange image made of wood. In the temple, food is offered to the deities three times daily.

When I enquired about the reason for his restlessness he said – “I am new to Kolkata. I have to reach this particular address at around 10 a.m. And I am not aware as how to reach there.” Other passengers in the metro -train were bit relaxed, not in much anxiety.

Like the passenger in the metro we are also uncertain about our destination. So, we too keep on sear
