Imagine if a message suddenly flashes on the sky: “Due to a technical fault the supply of oxygen will remain unavailable for some time all over the world. Next update about the issue in another hour”. What would happen to us? There won’t be just utter chaos but soon the earth will become a graveyard. Not even vultures and jackals would be alive to feast on the dead bodies. But has it ever happened? Never. Can it happen in future? Sceptics and agnostics may sa
Need for a mentor
The reason this news sounds interesting is, they have used the term “blueprint”. We know what a blueprint means. According to Wiki, a blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing, documenting an architecture or an engineering design, using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets. Oxford dictionary meaning of a blueprint is, a design plan or other technical drawing or something which acts as a plan, model, or template for others.
You may wonder what this has to do with the news.
I'm unable to quit smoking... I just can't get over my drinking habit... I'm always so self centered... I somehow always tend to procrastinate... All these are common challenges encountered by millions of people. So how can we overcome these bad habits?

We may sometimes ask ourselves, rather we should regularly ask ourselves, how are we doing in our spiritual life? Is our consciousness changing and developing? Is our love for Krishna growing? Are we becoming less affected by our life, our karma, and the world in general? Are we developing a strong sense of who we are that lives within our body?
Prabhupada suggests we take test. In the purport to verses 8-12 in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 13 he writes – “As for actual advancement in spiritual scienc

Patience
Kindness
Determination
Courage
The Goal of Life is to remember our Relationship with Krishna.
A preacher must be kind, gentle, and patient in his dealings.
Kindness means we look deep in everyone’s heart and see, “Here is a living entity desperately longing for love, and I am going to find a way to give him this love.”

The essential principle of progressive, civilised human life is to restrain negative emotions within oneself and to limit their discharge towards others; and to cultivate positive emotions such as tolerance, compassion and non-violence.

A search for intellectual satisfaction takes a young man from academics to devotion.

Want to become full of energy, excited about life, and serve the world in the best way you possibly can? Want to lose the weight of confusion and gain the muscle of wisdom? Want to be able to make the right choice every time and not have any regrets? This is what spiritual knowledge brings to us.
We generally think that knowledge is gained by study. The below list shows us that spiritual knowledge is also (and mostly) gained through thoughtful action and activity. We can say this is applied kno
…In this present day, man is very eager to have one scripture, one God, one religion, and one occupation. So let there be one common scripture for the whole world—Bhagavad-gītā. And let there be one God only for the whole world—Śrī Kṛṣṇa. And one mantra only—Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. And let there be one work only—the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. (from Introduction to the Bhagavad-gita As It Is)
