Answering questions

Prabhupada answered one letter today, from Madhava prabhu, one of our scientists who is living at the Boston temple. Madhava said that in trying to work out the details for the construction of the Vedic Planetarium, they had run into many difficulties. He wondered if there were other books they could read that give more details on the universe than the Bhagavatam. He had a number of technical questions, and pointed out that the Fifth Canto descriptions seem to be at wide varia

Quality of shyness

In class Prabhupada spoke at length on the need to properly protect women in order to have stability in human society. The verse described Draupadi as vama-svabhava, a soft-hearted woman. Observing that women in general are soft-hearted, but without the sharp intelligence of men, Prabhupada cited the example of Sita devi, who, being alone in the forest, was captured by Ravana. He is currently translating a section from the Ninth Canto about Rama-lila, and he told us that Sita,

A lot of people have by now heard of Dr. Zakir Naik, and how he is working to convince as many people as possible by his arguments, or his use of his translations of Vedic texts, to become Muslims. And those who are not educated in their own culture, such as simple minded Hindus who have not really
studied their own texts, become enamored by what he says. However, those who knowledgeable of those Vedic texts that Naik seems to use so well, they
become frustrated that so many people take his mistr

Dear friend

Hare Krishna.

Please accept my best wishes.

Dear friend,

I hope this meets you well. I want to send you a very important thing. I am presenting in front of the greatest literature of the whole cosmic manifestation and beyond. This will not only help you to develop spiritually but also mentally, intellectually. See we as sophisticated Homo sapiens have greater understanding of life, spirituality, morality, science, nature, and everything on this planet. Thus we are above the level of animal kingdom.

Stumbling blocks and steping stones

Stumbling blocks and steping stones

 

By Bhakti Charu Swami

Being enlivened by so many thought-provoking observations and concepts on the subject of guru-tattva and the ISKCON institution I feel inspired to express some ideas and understandings on this issue.

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, while reviving Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sankirtana movement, realized that the massive task of spreading Krsna Consciousness all over the world, in every town and village, would not be possible without the collectiv

Inspiring quotes about very kind lord krishna...

Two Lords, Nityananda Prabhu and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, They have appeared just to reclaim the fallen souls of this age. They are more kind than Krishna. Krishna, He is also very kind. He comes to deliver. But Krishna demands that first of all surrender. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu even does not demand surrender. He is so kind.So take shelter of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and be happy. Thank you very much.

In pure devotional service one comes to the realization that God is great and that the individual

The Etymological Derivation Of The Name "Christ"

The name "Christ" means "annointed one". This is take from the Greek word "Christos". Some language historians trace the Greek language to the oldest Indo-European language, Sanskrit, which is 3,500 to 6,000 years old, perhaps older. By finding a Sanskrit equivilant, it is reasonable that we may be able to ascertain the probable origin of the word "Christ". The Greek "Christos" is almost identical in sound and spelling to the Sanskrit word "Krista", meaning all-attractive. Sometimes we meet a gi

"Krishna--All Attractive"

Prabhupada: (chants mangalacarana prayers) So ladies and gentlemen, I thank you very much for your kindly participating in our, this Krsna consciousness movement.

Natural Beauty

Lord Krishna “My dear sir, Krishna’s form was most wonderful when He appeared on this planet and exhibited the potency of His internal energy. His wonderfully attractive form was present during His pastimes on this planet, and by His internal potency He exhibited His opulences, which are striking to everyone. His personal beauty was so great that there was no necessity for His wearing ornaments on His body. In fact, instead of the ornaments’ beautifying Krishna, Krishna’s beauty enhanced the ornaments.” (Ud
