Website of Bhaktivedanta Hospital, Mumbai was hacked today http://bhaktivedantahospital.com/
What has innocent hospital to do with the geopolitics?
35% of the patients taking health care at hospital are muslims. How are the hackers helping their own community?
The following is the Ananda Valli from the Taittiriya Upanishad explaining the different levels of happiness among various species of life.

Krsna is instructing us how to understand Him. That is our only business. This human form of life is meant for understanding Krsna because we are very thickly related with Krsna, just like father and the son. This relation cannot be broken. Maybe son is out of home, son may have forgotten, but Krsna, the supreme father, He does not forget.

According to such spiritual authorities, Krishna is the reservoir of all pleasure, and therefore He is all-attractive. Yet Krishna Himself derives pleasure from the service rendered by His devotees. Such devotional service attracts even Him. Krishna Himself, while speaking to a friend, confirms his as follows in Srimad Bhagavatam: "My dear Uddhava, you may know from Me that the attraction I feel for devotional service rendered by My devotees is not to be equaled even if one performs mystic yoga,
One of the great obstacles in devotional service is when we find satisfaction, we find relief, we think we are pushing ourselves to a higher position when we hold on to the shadow, the dark side of another, which means the fault finding.
In the final installment of Srila Satsvarupa Gosvami’s study of the spiritual needs and concerns of an ISKCON preacher, he addresses the most fundamental aspect of every devotee’s life—sadhana.I once asked Srila Prabhupada how a devotee could preach the ideals of Krishna consciousness if he had not yet perfected himself. ‘If someone asks me if he can go back to Godhead in one life, I would say yes, but if he asked me if I were going back to Godhead I don’t know if I could definitely say yes.’ Pr

Srila Prabhupada explains the principle behind the various forms and incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead - It is compassion, it is love, it is mercy.

People were misusing the Vedi

The following verses are a meditation on Krishna’s form that are meant to accompany the eighteen-syllable mantra: Lord Krishna’s eyes are like perfect lotus petals, his bodily color is that of a monsoon cloud, and his garments are the color of lightning. He has two arms, and his hands are held in t
Can meditation solve our everyday problems? Is there life after death? Can drugs help us achieve self-realization? During a visit to South Africa in 1976, Srila Prabhupada answered these and other questions for interviewer Bill Faill of the Durban Natal Mercury.
Srila Prabhupada: Krishna is a name for God that means “all-attractive.” Unless one is all-attractive he cannot be God. So Krishna consciousness means God consciousness. All of us are small particles of God, equal in quality with Him. Ou
