Take part in paying forward your great good fortune in having come in contact with Srila Prabhupada’s books. Help others learn the secret of the meaning of life. As His Divine Grace himself so aptly explains:
In order to change this materialistic society and prevent them from gliding to hell, first thing is to educate them. All decent men want to give service to humanity, only thing is they do not have information really what is this service…Service to humanity means jñāna. By giving peopl

Question: It happens, especially in household life, that the desires for sense gratification are many times taking over our focus, although we try to keep Krsna in the center. Years are inevitably going by and those desires are still not being completely wiped off, despite our practices.
