From Back to Godhead

A life that allows us to reunite with mother earth and offer her products to Krishna favors our spiritual growth.

Srila Prabhupada writes, “Whatever is taken from the earth either from the mines, from the surface of the globe, or from the atmosphere should always be considered the property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be used for Yajna, Lord Vishnu.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to be happy, I’m simply saying the highest happiness is found in giving happiness to others. If we relate this to the gunas, tamasic happiness is finding joy in hurting others

Written as a conversation between three fictional characters and Krishna Kshetra Swami, the book offers elaborate but relatable explanations on topics such as idols and idolatry, the differ

Over the last few years, the Temple of the Vedic Planetarium (TOVP) has been gathering helpful videos on the Cosmology of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

There is no doubt in my mind that my days in the Prairies are enwrapped in adventure, but it is also a time for sacrifice for greater gains, in this case, for Jagannath. The 12 hours or so, that Mahadev, Annapurna and I spent on the road today is for His pleasure. Initially I was hoping to see a Chariot Fest for Him in Regina, then Winnipeg and continuing east, but the Universal Lord has His own plans. For the sake of being present at the 2nd annual “rope and wheels” event in Red Deer, I wante
