'Lack of spirituality making world evil'
October 18 2006
By Irene Kuppan
A leading spiritual leader, currently visiting the country, believes that the reason for all the world's problems are because of a lack of spirituality and the excessive need for material things.
His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami, one of the leaders of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), was in Durban this week.
Hailing from India, Charu, who was previously the minister of arts and cultur
It is the Mother of all languages. About 97% of world languages have been directly or indirectly influenced by this language.(Ref: UNO)
America has a University dedicated to Sanskrit and the NASA too has a department in it to research on Sanskrit manuscripts.
Sanskrit is the best computer friendly language.(Ref: Forbes Magazine July 1987).
There is a report by a NASA scientist that America is creating 6th and 7th generation super computers based on Samskrit language. Project deadline is 2025 for 6t
Many news about prehistoric founds and their possible meaning reached the world in the last decades. One of them, found in South Germany, puts scientist around the world in amazement. The centerpiece is the “lion man”, an idol that is made from the tusk of a mammoth in the form of a human body with a lion head. Amazingly it is dated back 32,000 years from now.
This discovery brought a lot of attention in the archaeological circles in Europe. In Excavations around 1930-35 at the Lonetal area near

Here is a very strong piece of instruction from Maharaj’s diary.
The keyword is responsibility. Conditional souls are lazy. They have an inborn tendency not to accept responsibility. Especially there is a tendency in the conditioned soul not to accept responsibility for his spiritual growth, for improving himself. A person may be busy, busy, busy doing so many tasks putting in 70 hours a week, but if by doing so, he av
The modern civilization is that "Eat, drink, be merry and enjoy. Do not care for what is future life." That is condemned civilization. We should know that there is future life, there is birth after death, and we must be prepared.

Thakura Haridasa in Hari-nama-cintamani:
| nija nija bole jiva paya bhakti; bhakti labhibare sakalera nahi sakti. |
| "Those who get a chance to render devotional service by chanting of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra do so because of their good fortune generated by previous pious activities (sukrti). Thus it is not possible for everyone to take up this process." |

The word 'sraddha' (faith) in the above verse means 'sraddhabhasa' (the partial presence of faith). And why not? when faith is directed to the Lord alone and not to the Lord's devotees, such faith is called 'chaya' (shadow) or pratibimba (reflection). That is the faith of ordinary materialistic people. It is not the spiritual faith of pure devotional service. Because a bhaktabhasa (a person who is partially a devotee) has faith and worship that are material (prakrta) in nature, a bhakt
Srila Prabhuapada in the "Nectar of Devotion":
"When a mantra or hymn is chanted softly (but audibly) and slowly, that is called japa. The same mantra, when chanted loudly is called kirtana. For example, the Maha-mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare) when uttered very softly (but audibly) only for one's own hearing is called japa. The same mantra, when chanted loudly for being heard by all others is called kirtana. The Mah

Loud chanting of sixty-four rounds (100,000 Names) of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra daily is the most powerful and recommended way to chant constantly.
The perfection of life is to attain the level of Laksesvara from Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself!
In Sri Caitanya-bhagavata, Antya-khanda 9.121-122, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructed everyone on whose worship and service He will accept:

In the Bhagavad-gita 9.14, Lord Krishna states:
| satatam kirtayanto mam, yatantas ca drdha-vratah namasyantas ca mam bhaktya nitya-yukta upasate |
Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion. (Srila Prabhupada)
Srila Prabhupada in Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.23:
"While chanting the Holy Names of the Lord, one should be careful to avoid these ten offenses. There is no way to atone for any of these offenses.
"While chanting the Holy Names of the Lord, one should be careful to avoid these ten offenses. There is no way to atone for any of these offenses.
The ten offenses in chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra must be given up to achieve success in the chanting process. They are described in the Padma Purana, Brahma Khanda 25.15-18

"To blaspheme the great saintly persons who are engaged in preaching the glories of the Hare Krishna Maha-mantra is the worse offense at the lotus feet of the Holy Name. One should not criticize a preacher of the glories
