Hare Krishna Friends,
A little boy got angry with his mother and shouted at her, "I hate you, I hate you." Because of fear of reprimand, he ran out of the house. He went up to the valley and shouted, "I hate you, I hate you," and the echo returned, "I hate you, I hate you." Having never heard an echo before, he was scared, and ran to his mother for protection.

Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Mathajis,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.
It is very important in spiritual life that we should not be misdirected especially stray away from spiritual master's instructions. The basic tendency of the conditioned soul is to enjoy and have sense gratification which we have already experienced for so many lives. As our beloved spiritual master HH Mahavishnu Goswami Maharaj says, Although we have gone atleast once throu

Sometimes we devotees think, this book distribution is only the service of the full-time book distributors. I am not full-time, so it’s not my service, thank God. You should thank God when you engage in preaching because Krishna is more pleased when you preach and when you make the efforts to distribute books. Book distribution should be the privilege of everyone.

A Little Fish Challenges a Giant of Science
By Fred Heeren, Globe Correspondent
CHENGJIANG, China - The fish-like creature was hardly more than an inch long, but its discovery in the rocks of southern China was a big deal. The 530-million-year-old fossil, dubbed Haikouella, had the barest beginning of a spinal cord, making it the oldest animal ever found whose body shape resembled modern vertebrates.

Is Religion Causing Problems?
Question to Radhanath Swami : Swamiji, my question is not directly related to religion. But some of the biggest challenges facing the world today are the problems caused by religions. What is the solution for this?
Radhanath Swami: I do not see it as a problem of religion. I see it as the problem caused by irreligion in the guise of religion. We have to find what religion actually is. Real religion does not mean a Hindu, a Muslim, a Jew, a Christian, Zoroastrian, Jain

SATAN'S MEETING :
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep people from going to pray."
"We can't keep them from reading their holy books and knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their God ".
"Once they gain that connection with GOD, our power over them is broken."

2. As he traveled on the road, the great soul Akrura felt tremendous devotion for the lotus-eyed Personality of Godhead, and thus he began to consider as follows.
3. [Sri Akrura thought:] What pious deeds have I done, what severe austerities undergone, what
How could God allow such a tragedy to take place? Radhanath Swami Answers…
Question to Radhanath Swami: If there is a God who is all loving and compassionate, how could he allow the attacks on the World Trade Centre to take place?
Radhanath Swami briefs about how people are taking it: Today the world is drastically shaken by recent events that have taken place in the United States of America. I just came from that land. I have never seen America in such a condition. It is shaken to its very core.
