So you do not take it as gloomy, but you should welcome them in our Temple. Regularly try to sell our books and magazines to them.

The Vedic system appears to have specific roles for men and women, and many times that’s hard to accept or follow in today’s world. At the same time, we also hear of how accommodating the spiritual path of surrender (bhakti) as proposed by HDG Srila Prabhupada actually is.

“Communication is the key to healthy relationships.” If we are truly serious about someone’s presence in our lives, then no matter how challenging, we will make an endeavor to contribute all we can and more to share our grievances and good news with them.

The word hari also means “thief.” In relation to Radha and Krishna, it refers ...

How could your life change if you choose to think this way?
1. My human life is sacred and I am responsible to honor it in that way.
“The human body, which can award all benefit in life, is automatically obtained by the laws of nature, although it is a very rare achievement.

To prevent someone from serving Krishna according to his or her personal proclivities is a kind of violence. No one wins – not the persons ...

“The mood was very sober, but Srila Prabhupada wanted to hear from everyone. He went around the room and asked each devotee what they thought was wrong in the temple.

And then he added with great emphasis: ‘Do you think it was easy for me to leave India all al...
