According to Vedic culture, “protection to the cows, to the women, the brahmanas, the children and old folks is elementary” (SB 1.16.21). In order to implement protection, a modicum of respect must exist.

Now in modern society, with its appeal for equality, basic respect is often absent. Such liberal dealings often mean that any nonsense can be regarded highly as long as one appears intelligent. Nowadays the edict that ‘a fool is revealed when he speaks’ is too subtle for easy discernment.

The Ramayana culminates in a massive war between the vicious Ravana and the virtuous Rama, the Supreme descended in human form. The confrontation between them is triggered by Ravana’s abduction of Rama’s wife, Sita. But its seeds were sowed much earlier, by the demon’s atrocities that had extended for a long time.

Ravana is traditionally seen as the embodiment o

The time is very dangerous. And still, in this dangerous time . . . Just like in epidemic conditions where people are being contaminated and dying, still, the doctors appointed by the government have to go into the epidemic area and try to treat the persons and save them. Our duty is like that. The whole atmosphere is epidemic—whole atmosphere, this Kali-yuga. And still, by the superior orders, we have to preach this Krishna consciousness movement.

Therefore our only shelter is Krishna. Krsna, k

The whole world is facing this pandemic now a days, but what to do now at this time of Corona Lockdown. In this video, H.G. Keshav Anand Prabhu (MBBS) explains that what to do at home especially at this time, when everybody is lockdown in their homes.

It is simply an example of Krishna’s inconceivable potency that such an insignificant coronavirus which is not even visible by the naked eyes had made this world standstill.

To fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, our Honorable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi had announced a nationwide lockdown since March 24. There have been more than 17,340 positive cases of COVID-19 in India so far, with at least 559 deaths due to the disease.

As in many other parts of the world, people have been advised t

Conspiracy theories abound: covid 19, G5, the New World Order, and, of course, the deep state. I remember a time when life was simpler. There was only one conspiracy in town: Maya, the illusionary energy, assigned to keep us conditioned souls enamored in a world that is endlessly mutable (something akin today, I guess, to Facebook).

In this age of greed and hypocrisy, of the cheaters and the cheated, where countless, unfortunate beings struggle in this material world, a world that is confusing a

Most Yogis translate Bhakti Yoga as “Divine Love” and then Srila Prabhupada
translated it as ‘Devotional Service’.

Here is why, real love means there must be action. A mother can only claim
she loves her children when she feeds them and takes care of them .

The phrase “Divine Love” sounds cool, and you can imagine a guru sitting
twiddling a flower in his hand and dishing out blessings with his other
hand.

Hare Krishna,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. 

I am Jaya Sila dasa. Along with my wife Vimala devi dasi I have been helping devotees with relationships and parenting.

We published a relationship book for devotees several years about called Relationship Rescue Remedy, A Potent Five Drop Formula for Dissolving Conflict and Nourishing Relationships.

We have been selling it, but during this lock down period we thought it would be helpful  to make it available fre

Ghaṭārthin nyāyaḥ (desire for pot)

Beggar was praying to God to get a pot, and promised to use it in His service only. Finally, after nine months he has got the pot. He was so thrilled about his new sense of possession that he was throwing the pot in the air, and shouting, “I've got the pot. I've got the pot.” While the pot was coming down he missed to catch it one more time. The pot fell on the ground and broke into pieces, leaving beggar frustrated.

Every human being prays to God in the womb of

His son in law, Jai Baladev Das, wrote:

“With a heavy heart we’re sad to announce that Karnamrita Das (Brian Soul), disciple of Srila Prabhupada and father to Jahnavee Soul, left his body this morning due to Covid19. “He spent over a month in the hospital, originally for pneumonia and sepsis, fought for a long time, but at some point also contracted the coronavirus while he was there. Despite not being able to be there with him or communicate with him much because of the lockdown, we were able

Srila Prabhupada: Infected or disinfected. In the material world we are all infected. This is the disinfecting process: simply remembering Krishna—yah smaret pundarikaksam. This initiation is to teach how to always remember Vishnu and Krishna. As soon as we hear this Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, we immediately remember Krishna, His speech in the Bhagavad-gita, His form, His name, His qualities, His pastimes. Everything come

Living in the New Vraja Dhama farm community in Hungary has always felt like a blessing to me. My husband and our two four year old daughters moved here a little over two years ago from Canada. From the first moment my husband and I started associating, we knew that we would like to raise a family on a farm. We understood that Srila Prabhupada’s desire was to establish farm communities, varnasrama and self-sufficiency in ISKCON and we wanted to be a part of that. Our unde

When I first became a devotee as a young brahmacari it was like being part of a revolution, guided by Srila Prahupada’s call in distribution and heart transformation.

In the Mahabharata, we have observed how the Pandavas faced a Kaurava army; for our ratio analysis if we compared the Israelian Army against those of the world. Here the Pandavas faced the greatest of odds against the Kauravas(who had Krsna’s Narayana Kavaca Army), but of course Krsna sided with the Pandavas…then the case was clos
