We are not these material bodies, we are the spiritual force, the spiritual spark, the soul within. These bodies are simply an outward dress only. As I change my clothes yet still remain the same person so I also change my bodies but I am still the same person.
I am not an Australian, an Indian, a man, a woman, a human being or an animal, I am eternally a part and parcel of the Supreme Person, Krishna, so I have the same qualities as Him, although He has the qualities in fullness whereas I have

The Hindu front held a press conference on Tuesday. “We are a tolerant society. We are not against development in the country but there is a limit to everything,” said Srinjay Das, secretary of ISKCON.
According to Das, the most important point for objection is the smell of food items made from beef and poultry. “This will bother the devotees who are vegetarian,” he said, adding that cow protection is a fundamental Hindu religious principle.

The relevance of Srimad Bhagavad Gita in today’s age
The question of relevance for such topics comes into picture whenever certain systems of knowledge and certain practices are perceived to be outdated due to dynamically changing social structures and a widespread discomfort for anything labeled as religious, dogmatic or sectarian. The focus for this article is to try and brush aside these biases and objectively study the relevance of this very old but thoroughly timely system of knowledge in th

O son of Prtha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy.
Lessons to be learnt - Arjuna's lamentation
Arjuna was addressed as the son of Prtha, who happened to be the sister of Krsna's father Vasudeva. Therefore Arjuna had a blood relationship with Krsna. If the s
Can you see a thought? Touch a thought? Taste a thought? None of the senses can witness a thought. It can only be witnessed by the mind. The thought is the expression of the mind. What is the nature of mind? Mind is linked to the senses. The senses perceive an object and relay that information to the mind. The mind response to that object by saying, ‘I like it or I do not like it. I want it or I do not want it.’ The mind is accepting or rejecting. The mind is hankering for its wants and
We often mistake temporary pleasures of this world to be love. This mistaking of temporary sensations of the world lies at the very core of human conditioning. These flickering sensations are like a mirage. A person who is in the desert is searching desperately for an oasis of water. And in that desperation, due to longing and hopefulness, sometimes a mirage appears. It appears that that mirage can quench his/her thirst, but all he/she gets is a mouthful of hot sand.
So what is real love? In ord

HH Jayapataka Swami online IST 7.30pm From Coimbatore, India online question & answers Session
One of the very senior devotee, HG Akrura Prji from UK write the following amazing insight in his blog:
Devotees sometimes come to me and tell me, "ISKCON should do this. ISKCON should do that."
I say: "What is ISKCON? Who is ISKCON? I think YOU are ISKCON - therefore YOU should do what you think ISKCON should do. It is everyone's responsibility to make ISKCON as Prabhupada wanted it. It is not only current leaders' responsibility."
Truly said prabhuji.
Please accept my humble obeisa
I came across this video on Youtube which shows some phone calls from the people who were stuck inside the twin towers after they were hit by the plane. These people don't know what really has happened and all they can see is dense smoke inside the building. Few of them could sense that these may be the last moments of their lives, and they made phone calls to their loved ones. Few people made calls in desperation to Emergency Services.
This video made a deep impact on me. It once again re-emp
