The stringent laws of nature, under the order of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, cannot be altered by any living entity. The living entities are eternally under the subjugation of the almighty Lord. The Lord makes all the laws and orders, and these laws and orders are generally called dharma or religion. No one can create any religious formula. Bona fide religion is to abide by the orders of the Lord.

If we closely observe the lives of people around us we would fathom that life is a series of perceived problems: Either we are in one now, or we're just coming out of one, or we're getting ready to get entangled into another one.
When things don't go our way or when we go through pressures during the course of our daily lives, we generally tend to wrongly question the existence of the omnipotent Supreme Father.
Our mind gets riddled with questions like - Where is God? Isn't He interested in me a
The Personality of Godhead, out of His causeless mercy, descends on the manifested world without being influenced by the material modes of nature. He is eternally beyond the material manifestations.
He descends out of His causeless mercy only to reclaim the fallen souls who are captivated by the illusory energy. They are attacked by the material energy, and they want to enjoy her under false pretexts, although in essence the living entity is unable to enjoy. One is eternally the servitor of the
The Supreme Lord descends from His kingdom upon the kingdom of illusory energy and personally gives relief in the form of the authorized holy scriptures and Vedic texts, wherein He personally suggests that although the ways of illusory energy are very stiff to overcome, one who surrenders unto the lotus feet of the Lord is set free by the order of the Supreme.
This surrendering process is the remedial measure for getting relief from the bewildering ways of the illusory energy. The surrendering p
Jhulan Yatra or the Divine Swing Festival is celebrated in the month of Shravana (July – August) commemorating the pastimes of Lord Shri Krishna with His eternal consort Srimati Radha, enjoying joyful childhood pastimes with His friends, the young cowherd boys and girls, swinging underneath the Kadamba trees. In the month of Shravana the atmosphere is vibrant with heavy showers and the entire natural setting is decorated with beautiful flowers blooming all around. In this jubiliant mood, the de
A life for a life is just punishment for a person who cruelly and shamelessly lives at the cost of another's life. Political morality is to punish a person by a death sentence in order to save a cruel person from going to hell. That a murderer is condemned to a death sentence by the state is good for the culprit because in his next life he will not have to suffer for his act of murder. Such a death sentence for the murderer is the lowest possible punishment offered to him, and it is said in the

We have travelled through millions of lifetimes and lived with many different souls amidst family, friends or those who don't really get along with us. Some may have even tried to harm us emotionally, physically or spiritually.
All said and done, we all are the same and belong to only one group that is 'Souls' We all have travelled together in different lifetimes and have shared various relationships with each other; Father-mother, husband-wife, uncle-aunt, brother-sister, friends, neighbours, s
People often complain that they have repeatedly tried to do a particular task, attempted it multiple times but have failed miserably. However, we must understand that success is going from failure to failure to failure, without loosing ones enthusiasm. We really never fail until we give up trying; trying, with determination and with enthusiasm.
Vision, real vision is to see the invisible. To feel the intangible and to achieve the impossible. Actually challenges or failures can be stepping stones
Due to the fact that, we are, by nature social beings, if we don’t find satisfaction in our spiritual relationships, we will certainly look for friendship elsewhere.
If we associate with persons with little interest in spiritual life, our own devotional endeavour will dim.
When Lord Caitanya was asked to define what a devotee is, He replied, “A devotee is one who avoids the association of nondevotees.”
Attachment to nondevotees and their habits opens the door to material life, whereas attachment
When we think of the word 'death' we are immediately overtaken by a swarm of morose emotions - shadows of pain, torrents of tears and disconsolate grief. The darkness of fear grips us and we shudder at the slightest dint of this inexorable phenomenon.
However, being mortal conditioned souls, we need to accept the inevitability of death, comprehend the unalterable temporality of our bodies, and most important, about the eternal nature of the soul.
According to the knowledge of transmigration of
A self-realized soul should be depended on because he or she is not restricted by selfish desires. In fact a Krishna conscious person, being satisfied, is in a position to perfectly relate with others. A study of the life His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada- the Founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, will reveal this secret of perfection. Srila Prabhupada did not want anything from anyone, and yet he was always requesting people to do things - pe
The material world is a perverted reflection of our real home - the spiritual world. As such, every relationship is imperfect only partially mirroring what it could be and what we yearn for. Nevertheless we keep trying. Yet material existence imposes powerful restrictions on developing satisfactory relationships with others.
Because we have willfully separated ourselves from God - Lord Krishna, the reservoir of all loving relationships, we are now suffering from a spiritual psychosis and consequ
The more we hear about God’s unlimited qualities, the more we’ll comprehend that nothing can satisfy like friendship with Him. The desire for friendship is universal. It is based on our propensity to love and serve someone.
We are all servants of God, so it is important for us to remember that any attempt to approach Him must be attended by a serving attitude. Just as the Lord, out of His kindness, is always busy making arrangements for His devotees’ happiness, we must also try to act for His pl
God or Lord Krishna is our most faithful and considerate friend. He will never abandon us or allow us to feel neglected. Although His propensity to love is so great that He desires to interact with countless living beings simultaneously. He can do so without neglecting even one of them. When Krishna was in Dvaraka, He expanded Himself, by His supreme mystic power, into many Krishnas, giving spiritual bliss to each one of His sixteen thousand queens, each of whom thought that Krishna was residing
