Cured for Service to Krsna

Their disease was supposed to be terminal, but they’ve survived for lives of inspired and inspiring devotional service.

By Gopal Hari Das

THE CROWDED BUS JERKED to a stop. A concerned father and mother, Mukunda and Mina Gandhi, struggled out. With them were their two children, Chirag (7) and Vishal (3), in wheelchairs. Both boys were victims of Pseudohypertrophic Muscular Atrophy, an incurable, terminal disease that gradually destroys all the muscles in the body.

આપણે જાણીએ છીએ પુરાણોમાં પણ ગાયને શ્રેષ્ઠ માનવામાં આવે છે. ગાય વિશે એવું પણ કહેવાય છે કે ગાયમાતામાં ૩૩ કરોડ દેવતાનો વાસ છે. આપણે તો ગાયનું મહત્વ જાણીએ છીએ સાથે વૈજ્ઞાનિક રીતે પણ ગાયના છાણ, દૂધ, મૂત્રનો ઉપયોગ ઘણી જગ્યાએ થાય છે.
- વૈજ્ઞાનિક સંશોધન અનુસાર ગાયના છાણાં કોલેરાનાં જંતુઓનો નાશ કરવાની શક્તિ છે.

- રશિયન વિજ્ઞાની શિરોવિચનું કહેવું છે કે ભારતીય કૂળની ગાયના દૂધમાં રેડિયોવિકીરણની રક્ષણ કરવાની સૌથી વધુ શક્તિ છે.

A Glimpse (Ek Jhanki)

Krsna is running forward. His earrings are swinging on his cheeks. He is wearing pitambara, a yellow cloth. Yasoda has decorated her small child very beautifully. Krsna looks backwards, and seeing Yasoda coming to catch Him, runs again. Yasoda is very full-bodied, and as she is running, her body is trembling. Whosoever sees this becomes enchanted.

Evidence that Advanced Technology existed 500,000 yrs back!

While mineral hunting in the mountains of California near Olancha during the winter of 1961, Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey and Mike Mikesell found a rock, among many others, that they thought was a geode - a good addition for their gem shop. Upon cutting it open, however, Mikesell found an object inside that seemed to be made of white porcelain. In the center was a shaft of shiny metal. Experts estimated that it should have taken about

I was going to say one more thing. You already explained it. But in today's world, fanatical Muslims or fanatics in any religion--they may be chanting God's names, yet so much violence is going on. They may chant, for example, "Allah, Allah," yet engage in so much violent activity. They are "God's warriors," so to speak. So, you have explained that there are ways to chant God's names properly.

Giriraj Swami: Correct. One must avoid that offense of offending devotees, and

From purport of SB.6.7.24

From the instructions of Lord Brahmä it is understood that everyone should very
faithfully worship the brähmaëas, the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the
cows. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is go-brähmaëa-hitäya ca: He is always
very kind to cows and brähmaëas. Therefore one who worships Govinda must
satisfy Him by worshiping the brähmaëas and cows. If a government worships the
brähmaëas, the cows and Kåñëa, Govinda, it is never defeated anywhere;
otherwise it must

Dear ghee enthusuiasts,

Hare Krishna!

Contamination of ghee is a world-wide phenomena. Queensland Butter Board ghee in the green can (QBB) used to be a reputable ghee here in Australia. In fact it was the first ghee ever produced here, back at the turn of the 20th century, when lack of refrigeration in remote farms in Queensland made butter storage problematic.

Apparently it has finally shut down it's operations here in Australia, but the name and label is used in Malaysia. There has bee
