Why Do Humans Act Like Animals?

Question: Why Do Humans Act Like Animals?


Dear Gurudeva,
My humble obeisances to you.
 
My question is: Even though a human being has the most intelligence to distinguish between good and evil, why is he still behaving like an animal? Is it because of his past karma that he is forced to do so?

Answer: Bad Association. Now Change It.


It is only due to bad association with materialistic men that a human being behaves like an animal. This is why is it very important to avoid worldly association as muc

Why is it that (in the Hare Krishna movement) you do not eat onions and
garlic?

After all they are vegetables, are they not? One can understand the
prohibition against meat-eating. But what is wrong with eating garlic and
onions? Surely there's no more violence committed when we eat an onion than
when we eat a potato.

God is always around us

A man whispered, "God, speak to me" and a cuckoo bird sang. But, the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, "God, speak to me" and the thunder rolled across the sky. But, the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, "God, let me see you." And a star shined brightly. But the man did not see.

So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon, God reached down and touched the man. But, the man brushed the butterfly away, and walked on.

The man cried, "Go

Nitai: Translation: "Before reciting this Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is our very means of conquest, I offer my respectful obeisances unto the Personality of Godhead Narayana, unto Nara-narayana Rsi, the supermost human being, unto mother Sarasvati, the goddess of learning, and unto Srila Vyasadeva, the author."

Each person views the world differently

When someone acts in a way that seems strange to you, rather than reacting in your usual way, such as, “I can’t believe they would do that,” instead say something to yourself like “I see, that must be the way she sees things in her world. Very interesting.”

When you are genuinely curious about the way someone reacts or the way they feel about something, it’s unlikely that you will be annoyed. 

When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn’t imply, even slightly, that you’re advocating it

Dear Devotees, Please Accept My Humble Obeisances. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The students of Sri Bhagavat vidyapeetham organized a memorial ceremony in honour of HG Gopiparanadhana Pr on 18th at Govardhana. The program started at 11 a.m with a heartfelt singing of ye anilo prema dhana. The mood was poignant and everyone was feeling deep separation from HG Gopiparanadhana Pr. His family was present with some devotees from Mayapur attending as well.

Thought Of The Day

There are nine different processes. The most important process is hearing. And as soon as you want to hear, that means you have to concentrate your mind. As soon as you engage the mind in hearing about Krsna, Krsna will help you in cleansing the mind. As soon as the mind is clear, devoid of all dirty things, you can see. You can understand what is God; you can see God every moment.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.15.41), Los Angeles, 19.12.1973By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

Thought Of The Day

To train a new man is like training a wild animal to be a pet. Just like the tiger is trained in the circus and later on they are dancing to the tune of the master. So the point being stressed is training. A preacher should always be tolerant.By H.D.G. Srila Prabhupada

If One's Religion Allows Meat Eating?

Question: If One's Religion Allows Meat Eating?


Please accept my humble and respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

Thank you for your wonderful and insightful emails. I am sorry to worry you with my query.

Just a question regarding the other “faiths” – Muslim, Christian, Jews etc. We know for a fact that they are meat eaters (including eating of the sacred cow). What is their position in their next lifetime? Do they go down the spiritual ladder or do they elevat

Preaching in Indonesia

Rasarani was assisting her husband, Amogha, in establishing Krsna consciousness in Indonesia, and she had returned to Sydney for a break.

The topic of Prabhupada's possibly visiting Jakarta had come up in a conversation that morning, and Prabhupada wanted to make a firm decision. In the afternoon, Srila Prabhupada called Rasarani into his room.

"So," he asked Rasarani, who sat nervously in front of his low, polished wooden desk, "how is the preaching in Indonesia?"

"Well, we j

Why Are People by Nature Godless?

Question: Why Are People by Nature Godless?


Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.

In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna is saying that if He does not teach the universe to live in a godly way, godlessness will prevail. Why does godlessness prevail, not godliness? In other words, why are people by nature godless?

Your humble servant

Deo

 


Answer: Godly Nature is Covered by Godlessness


Everyone is by nature godly. It is only due to bad association that the godly become godless. This
