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.

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.

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

I have just returned today from Sri Nabadwipa Dham Parikrama and i want to share this unique experience with you.
We decided to visit Ek-Chakra village (the birth place of Nityananda Prabhu, who is none other than Sri Balarama in Krsna's pasttimes).

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

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.

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. |
||||
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. |
