Beauty is Temporary

Beauty is Temporary

Is the material body, simply a bag of stool, urine, blood, mucus, and other horrible things?

Once upon a time a prince met a very beautiful young girl. Immediately upon seeing her beauty, the prince decided to marry the beautiful girl. But she didn’t want to marry him, as she knew that the prince was only interested in her material senses, her beauty, and not her real self.

The girl said to the prince “If I remove my beauty, will you still marry me?” The prince said “Yes, I am r

There was a milkman and his daughter. His daughter’s duty was to carry fresh milk to customers in various villages. One of the customers was a Priest. To reach Priest’s house, the milkmaid had to cross a good-sized stream. People used to cross it by a ferry raft for a small charge.

What Is Reincarnation ?

Posted by Shalabh Gupta on April 6, 2011 at 8:30am

What is Reincarnation?

The soul is eternal but the body is temporary. Thus when the body is finished (death), the soul must continue to exist in another body.

If a person kills and soon after dies himself. How can he be punished unless he takes birth again? If a sinner is sent to hell forever then how can God be merciful unless he is given another chance?

Once you had the body of a baby and now an adult. The baby body is gone but you still exist. This is reincarnation, changing bodies.

Just as you c

Srila Prabhupada's jewel

In 1976, Srila Prabhupada visited New Vrindavan. They were building a house
for Srila Prabhupada, and they were going to call it Prabhupada’s Palace. At
that time it was a very crude construction site, just cement and steel, and
they gave Srila Prabhupada a tour of it. One of Srila Prabhupada’s very
senior disciples, he said, “Srila Prabhupada, this is going to be your
palace. Will it be like the palaces in the heavenly planets or in Vaikuntha
where there’s no need for the sun or the moon or electric

The Ill Effects Of Non-Vaisnava Foods

By Kesava Krsna Dasa

We all know about avoiding prohibited foods, but may not know why, or what effects they produce. Becoming aware of such bad effects will cause us to think extra before eating more “delicious” sin.

We understand that there are difficulties faced by certain householders, especially if both husband and wife work, or are being surrounded by indifferent family members. Whatever the situation, it is worth trying to place oneself in an advantageou

The Vedas Say They MUST be Shared With Everyone

By Sri Nandanandana dasa

For those of us who have traveled the length and breadth of India, there are many temples that have allowed us in and left indelible and inspiring memories for our spiritual progress. There have also been some temples who have kept us out, or even kicked us out after we have already entered, as if they do not want to share their culture with us, or anyone they feel does not meet their requirements. I can understand that to

By Jayadvaita Swami

from Back to Godhead, May-June 1994

Here’s a page full of reasons. I’ll spare you the footnotes, but each reason is fully upheld by evidence from Vedic writings likeBhagavad-gita, the Upanisads, and the Puranas.

Chanting Hare Krishna awakens love of God.

Another important point that I very much appreciated. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati in his book, called Sri Caitanya and His Teachings, I think that’s the name of the book, or Sri Caitanya’s Teachings, yeah, Sri Caitanya’s Teachings, in that book, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati states that of the five angas of devotional service - there are sixty-four angas, fifty-nine actually, but five are reiterated for emphasis.

Soul's constitutional postion

Posted by Nandlal Prabhu on April 5, 2011 at 3:32pm

One who knows the constitution of the soul, he is called brahmana. Because the soul is Brahman. Soul is not matter. So one who knows the constitution of the soul, he is called brahmana. We have already discussed this matter, that brahmana does not mean a particular class or born in a particular country. A brahmana means who knows the position of the soul, or the constitution of the soul. He is brahmana. Just like a person who is conversant with medical science. He is called medical man or a doct

What is the purpose of Bhagavad-gita?

Posted by Nandlal Prabhu on April 5, 2011 at 3:30pm

The purpose of Bhagavad- gītā is to deliver mankind from the nescience of material existence. Every man is in difficulty in so many ways, as Arjuna also was in difficulty in having to fight the Battle of Kurukṣetra . Arjunasurrendered unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa , and consequently this Bhagavad- gītāwas spoken. Not only Arjuna , but every one of us is full of anxieties because of this material existence. Our very existence is in the atmosphere of nonexistence. Actually we are not meant to be threatened

I feel ..ha..chaitanya mahaprabhu did that...so great is he...when he too is Lord krishna himself...

Does God Want Man To Eat Meat ?

Does God Want Man to Eat Meat?

When discussing the topic of killing (meat eating) with Christians and Muslims. They ultimately justify killing animals for food by pointing to their scriptures. Thus the main reason why man kills for a living (meat eating) is religion. The Bible and Koran both state that animals are food. They both claim that their scripture is the word of God and thus there is absolutely nothing wrong in killing innocent animals.

This raises the question would God want man to eat m
