Many Plans and Krishna’s Plan

Posted by Nitin on July 20, 2009 at 3:06pm

So far your thinking about things and making so many plans, that is allright, but our first business is Krishna’s plan. That is the only plan, andno matter how many schemes we employ to adjust things in this materialworld, if they have no solid basis in Krishna’s plan, they remain merelydreams of phantasmagoria.

Some Ayurvedic medicines also are wrapped in silver foils.They are made by hammering thin sheets of silver in middle of booklets made of a bull's intestines. In other words, after slaughtering a bull, quickly his intestines are removed, and sold to

Posted by Nitin on July 15, 2009 at 12:00pm

The Lord's chest is the abode of the goddess of fortune.
