On the 16th of February 1957 a meeting was held at the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan to discuss the above subject matter. Distinguished gentlemen from different categories spoke on the subject, but practically nobody could give us a definite direction as to what actually the matter was that was troubling the whole situation. This feeling of pinching in the existence of our life is a good sign for progress. It is an urge for enquiry what is the wrong in the world

“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.” Proverbs 15:1-2
We create our worlds with our speech. The words that we speak are creative. This knowledge is found in some of the oldest wisdom literatures including the Bible which says, “In the beginning was the Word, logos.” This term logos, which means “the spoken word,” indicates a kind of order. It appears as “ology”

Lord Sri Krishna says, “My dear Arjuna, there are different classes of men. One class of men, they are sleeping. And another class of men, they are awake. They are not sleeping.” And how is this so? This chanting, which we have performed just now, is the

In the world of modern science, consciousness is reduced to a fading epiphenomenon, leftover after the brain has been physically explained.
It seems to arise when matter is suitably organized, but scientists and philosophers have been unable to explain why complex organization should produce anything beyond complex physical behavior. Yet consciousness won’t go away. This groundbreaking book shows how conscious beings
Overwhelmingly, Srila Prabhupada preached that vegetarian or non-vegetarian was not the issue.* He nearly always took the opportunity to preach Krishna bhakti no matter what food a person chose to eat. At the same time, he indicated that eating foods in the mode of goodness helps one become wiser.

I learned about a couple that survived a 4-month walk from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide. In 2017, I crossed the Divide in Colorado and it was at that location that a journalist caught up with me and said, “You’re on the highest point at this watershed. If you pee here, half of the fluid will go to the Atlantic and the other will flow to the Pacific.”
In any event, the American couple trekking this heroic trail exercised true social distancing with their backpacking. Their names
Learning to appreciate the devotees is a Vaisnava etiquette that helps us in our quest for purification, especially the appreciation of senior devotees.
I have always been slow to understand this but as time passed I began to develop a certain admiration for those devotees who came before me. This is due largely to the fact that I have become a senior devotee.

A 1500-year-old image of Krishna is being restored in the Cleveland Museum of Art. PBS has released the recent story about the deity of Krishna from Cambodia that made its way to Cleveland in the ‘70s when work began to put broken pieces together. Basically, His head and torso are in pretty good shape. In fact, it is this handsome image that portrays His lifting of the Govardhana Hill. Twenty-first century technology is being applied and giving Krishna a look and stance that He deserves. Credit
Disciples of Srila Prabhupada from the USA and Canada started preaching in France in the late sixties and a lot of people joined the Hare Krishna movement. On a brief visit to Paris in 1971 Srila Prabhupada gave a lecture at the Olympia Theater. The Deities of Sri Sri Jagannatha, Baladeva and Subhadra had already been carved by a French devotee, Dayamrgya dasa. Srila Prabhupada considered Paris a very important city for preaching and he visited again several times. It was in 1973 that he instal

Temples around the world have recently been hit hard by the new wave of the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus – as has the rest of the world. Many devotees have been infected, including many ISKCON gurus such as Indradyumna Swami, as well as Hrdaya Caitanya, a member of the GBC and co-director of ISKCON Mayapur. In many temples, almost all devotees are quarantined and standards of deity worship have been lowered. In Villa Vrindavana in Italy, a single pujari has to handle all the seva at presen
