Srila Prabhupada decided to relax on the lawn. Someone brought a chair, and Prabhupada sat in the dark, beneath the stars, enjoying the roaring kirtana. He looked up reflectively, head held slightly

Vrsa: As Gaura Mandala Bhumi and I entered Prabhupada's room, we found him in a very relaxed mood, reclining on his big bolster cushion behind his desk. We asked Srila Prabhupada the meaning of our names. Prabhupada told me that I was named after the bull carrier of Lord Siva. "But it is 'dasa'," he said. "Always 'dasa'."
Gaura Mandala Bhumi, Prabhupada explained, was
"Actually, you are pronouncing it wrong. It should be Janaka -- J-a-n-a-k-a."
Prabhupada explained that Janaka was the name of a great saintly king. The couple took heed of Prabhupada's advice and from that day Y
Krishna is the source of all incarnations/expansions/planery expantions. Lord Krishna is the original Lord Vishnu.
Buddha is also an incarnation of Lord. But such incarnations are not considered to be very advanced in Vedic knowledge(Lord does His own ways). There was a special purpose of Buddha incarnation. So called brahmanas of that time were slaughtering animals on the names of sacrifices given in the Vedas. So Lord incarnated to take away people by preaching Non-violence.
Buddha asked peop
WHO FOUNDED VEDIC CULTURE
No one individual founded Vedic culture, nor is there any single prophet, holy book or way of worship. The Vedic culture has a library of texts to help establish the nature of the Absolute Truth. Hindus recognize the good and spiritual essence in all religions, so it is easy for them to display respect and tolerance for other spiritual paths.
Through the Puranic stories of the universal creation, we learn that the Vedic knowledge was first given by
Srila Kasisvara Pandita - Disappearance
Answers based on Vedic Wisdom- By His Holiness Srila Romapada Swami Maharaja
Q. My current obstacle is my family of birth, which does not support Krsna Consciousness and does not accept my devotee husband. For some background: I was born into a white Catholic family in America. About 10 months ago I came into Krishna Consciousness and 4 months later married an Indian-bodied devotee. We live in the US, not far from my family. Previous to Krsna consciousness, I was very close with my family,
It is advised, therefore, that an intelligent person associate with the great sages and saints who are on the path of salvation. By such association, one can receive instructions which are able to slacken the conditioned souls attachment for matter, and thus the intelligent man gradually gets rid of the illusion of matter and false ego and is promoted to the real life of eternity, knowledge and bliss.

In our conditional stage, we cannot worship Radha-Krsna. Radha-Krsna-seva is for them who has developed spontaneous love for God.

When it comes to Vedic culture, more popularly known as Hinduism, many people find it difficult or impossible to define it in a concise or adequate manner. It differs quite a bit from the conventional and western monotheistic religions with which many people are familiar. Hinduism is pluralistic. In other words, it does not claim any one prophet or savior; it includes all aspects of God; it does not subscribe to any one philosophy or dogma; it includes various schools of thought and ways of unde
A Origem do Sectarismo
(Extraído do Krsna-samhita de Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura)
O sectarismo é um subproduto natural da Verdade Absoluta. Quando inicialmente os acaryas determinam e instruem a Verdade, ela não está poluída com o sectarismo. Mas as regras e regulações recebidas através da sucessão discipular, no que diz respeito à meta e ao método de alcançá-la, podem mudar no decorrer do tempo de acordo com a mentalidade e localização das pessoas(*).
