On December 1, 2018, my wife, Jaya Gaurangi Devi Dasi, and I were doing the final packing for our flight from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, to Seattle to visit our daughter. Due to airline restrictions on the size and weight of luggage, we were prioritizing the items. Finally we had to make a major decision: Do we carry our three cantos of Srila Prabhupada’s Srimad-Bhagavatam with us or not? My wife is quite attached to having the physical book for her

With the number of COVID19 patients on the rise, human society needs an introspection about the what’s going wrong about it. The series of two articles would help analyse the same. This article addresses those citizens who are suffering COVID19 and may seem to not win the battle. Life all of a sudden seems completely different from what it was a month ago for individuals affected by this disease. The thousands of dreams that were being built seem to be shattered. All of a sudden we realize that
We see that brahmanas in Vedic culture would refuse to simply take up a job. They just lived from teaching scriptures and glorifying scriptures. People would bring them some rice and other things and in this way they lived their whole lives; it was very simple, “My wife makes this very nice soup. We have a tamarind tree in our yard and my wife uses its leaves to cook this nice soup with the rice. I am very happy!” So like this, it was a virtue in Vedic culture; the highest class people were the

With corona virus spreading widely, everyone including world leaders are bewildered about ways to tackle the problem. Leaders themselves have fallen prey to it in some cases. This is the second article on the same topic. The first was “life insurance for covid-19 patients”. That was meant primarily for those who are suffering from the disease and may loose the battle. However the article provides a background for the current one and so all readers are recommended to read that before coming to t

Prabhupada: So similarly, soul is everywhere.
Brian Singer: And in the animal also? In the dog?
Prabhupada: Oh, yes.
Brian Singer: Yeah? And how far down in the animal world? Like you have the worm and also bacteria and the virus. Is also true?
Prabhupada: That is the difference. I have already told you that the soul is in the child, and the soul is in the body of the father, but the child’s soul is…. Or…. Soul is everywhere, but the proportionate consciousness is not developed. Just like wood.

Transcendental sound is echoing around the world. The world which is egg-shaped and hollow inside, consists of several layers. All these universes clustering together are flowing from the pores of Mahavishnu. Srila Prabhupada explains creation. Krsna expands himself in the form of Mahavishnu from whose breathing an innumerable number of universes emanate. In each of these universes, Mahavishnu enters as Garbodhakasayi Vishnu who lies on Sesa Naga on the Garbha Ocean. From his navel, Bramha is b
