Was Prophet Muhammad in the Vedas?

Was Prophet Muhammad in the  Vedas?


Starting  With the Rig-Veda


In this article we will take a look at some of the verses in  the Vedas that some people, such as Dr. Zakir  Naik, say that Mohammed is mentioned or foretold in  them. This is a summary based on the research by Dr Radhasyam Brahmachari and others,  and shows that these verses in fact do not speak of Prophet Mohammed, but are  used in a way that is based on mistranslations to justify that idea.


First of all, the Rig-Veda is globally rec

Sri Madhavendra Puri

 

During Nityananda Prabhu's tour of all the holy places of India for the purpose of purifying them, by the will of providence, he happened to meet Madhavendra Puripada somewhere in western India. When Nityananda Prabhu saw Madhavendra Puri Goswami he fainted away in a swoon of ecstatic love and His transcendental body became completely still. Similarly, when Madhavendra Puri gazed upon Nityananda Prabhu, he completely forgot himself and faintedto the ground.

Trusting God's Plan!!!

You are the vehicle God uses to express Himself on this planet. Allow Him to flow through you. It is only by allowing this that His expression can be experienced. Believe it or not, you have the final decision on what will flow through you and into the world. Not even God would force Himself through you, unless you allow Him to. When you allow God to flow through you, this is your natural flow, this is your trueself, and this is your Godself. My friend, if you allow God to flow through you, you

If God exists - Why so much pain and suffering?


A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said, "I don't believe that God exists."


"Why do you say that," asked the customer.


"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would th

Cultivating Enthusiasm and Determination

Question to Radhanath Swami: I am very much interested in Bhakti Yoga. But how do I cultivate enthusiasm and determination to remain steady on this path?

Radhanath Swami: How do you cultivate a plant? You have to protect it and you have to water it. If you're growing a flower in your garden you must protect it from being ripped out, from being trampled on, from being choked by weeds, and you also have to put water on it. So that is how enthusiasm and determination are also developed. If you engag

Question: 
No Obstacles Greater That We Can Handle?


Dear Gurudeva,

In the 29 January 2011 message you said that Krishna "will never give us an obstacle which is greater than what we can handle". Please help me understand this, as I often find my current troubles to be quite overwhelming. Also could you please direct me to any scripture where this is confirmed?

Thank you in advance.

Hare Krishna,

Mahendra

My humble prayers to my Lord Naraimhadeva: -

 

O’ Nåsiàhadeva! Your form is very terrible with Your long and sharp teeth. You are very fearful to see with strong large nails and garlanded by flames. Destroy, destroy my obstacles! Kick out, kick out my fear! Scatter, scatter my enemies! Destroy, destroy my karma! Flash, flash! Kill, kill! Cut, cut! Ever fulfill, ever fulfill all my desires to serve You. Safeguard, safeguard me and all around me.

Why the Supreme Personality?

Question: Why the Supreme Personality?


Please advise why you refer to Lord Krishna as the “Supreme Personality” of Godhead. We could just say Lord Krishna or the Supreme Lord Krishna. So why is it that many ISKCON books and devotees refer to Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Jay 
 


Answer:  He's Not the Impersonal Oneness


This is to make it very clear that God is a person. He's not the impersonal oneness as the Mayavadis claim.

Srila Prabhupada's quotes.


quote.jpgSunday, March 3, 1968 
Los Angeles 
Letter to Yamuna

"We are not impersonalists, under the circumstances we have got varieties of perception in the matter of discharging devotional service. In Rupa Goswami's ``Siksamrta'' it is stated that advanced life in Krsna Consciousness means one should be always very much anxious to calculate whether every moment of his life has not been utilized in devotional service. This is called feeling of being afraid for misusing time.

One should be very careful to est
