“Don’t Judge Yourself; Love Yourself” by HG Mahatma Prabhu
When you become aware of your problems, don’t judge them. Just see them as they are and get to work on them. Everyone has the same problems but the difference between those who deal well with them and those who don’t is how we judge ourselves.

Whatever your duty, if you are executing the will of God, you will be protected.
HH Radhanath Swami: In America motherhood is considered old-fashioned. People are ashamed to be mothers. Women are taught to be professionals. Child care is given to other professionals, and thus children miss out on the love of a mother and have so many psychological difficulties. In America, 68% of couples get divorced. Of the parents of my friends I grew up with, my mother and father are the only couple that stayed together.

How the soul, false ego, intelligence and mind interact with each other?
Chaitanya Charan das: The soul is spiritual. The mind, intelligence and false ego are all part of the subtle body. In general, they are differentiated, based on function rather than structure. The gross elements namely the earth, water, fire, air and ether can be differentiated in terms of structure because they are made of different things. However, the subtle elements, as described in the third canto of the Bhagavatam, in the chapter titled, ‘Fundamental principles of mat...

Lips and Laughter.
Many religions describe God as powerful, angry, even jealous. The Vedic literature describes God as Kṛṣṇa, called Viṣṇu in his majestic feature. Certainly Kṛṣṇa has emotions beyond ordinary human range. What is particularly spiritually potent, however, is to meditate on Him in His mood of smiling and laughing. He laughs, lovingly, at the foolishness of materialists who challenge and try to kill Him, much like parents laugh with affection at a rebellious toddler. He laughs when His cowh...

By Your causeless mercy only, we are now able to think of Your lotus feet. This is our greatest gain. Dear Lord, everyone knows that the body is a breeding ground of diseases. Now we are aged, and instead of being proud of our bodily strength, we are getting weaker day by day. We are no longer interested in sense gratification or the false happiness derived through the material body. By Your grace, we have now come to the conclusion that hankering after such material happiness is just like searching for water in a desert mirage. We are no longer interested in the results of our pious activities, su...

Prajalpa (gossip).
Radhanath Swami: People like to hear about other people’s problems. It’s fun for some. That’s the reason why some of the most popular magazines in the world just focus on scandals. Recently, a champion golfer got into some scandal. It’s like a rule in this world—that such news must be known to everyone, that such news must be the event on every television and news channel. That scandal was all that the people were talking about, for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. Ironically, nobody cared tha...

Prema-bhakti, as actually demonstrated by mother Yasoda.
Srila Prabhupada: In the beginning, the Vedic purpose is pursued in three ways (trayi) — by karma-kaṇḍa, jsana-kaṇḍa and upasana-kaṇḍa. When one reaches the complete, perfect stage of upasana-kaṇḍa, one comes to worship Narayaṇa, or Lord Viṣṇu. When Parvati asked Lord Mahadeva, Lord Siva, what is the best method of upasana, or worship, Lord Siva answered, aradhananaḿ sarveṣaḿ viṣṇor aradhanam...

By Sacinandana Swami: Krishna is fascinated with the land and people of Vrindavan.
The Bhagavatam says (10.1.28): “The city and district of Mathura,” Vrindavan is part of that, “are very intimately connected with Krishna, for Lord Krishna lives there eternally.”Nityam sannihito harihi – He is there eternally.

STOP Watching Breaking News! (3 min. video)
HG Vaisesika Prabhu is explaining why you should not be watching “breaking news”. It only brakes your heart! There’s only so much shocking information a simple human being can take in and survive emotionally in life! Also, Sanatana Goswami advised to not hear from those motivated by profit. If they try to make money out of you by giving you information it means that the information is contaminated. Don’t take it in!

BARLEYCORN (Jon) - This mark signifies that His devotees receive all enjoyable opulences of prosperity by serving His lotus feet. It also means that once one finds shelter at His lotus feet, then the devotee's former journey through many, many births and deaths is actually very tiny, just like a single grain of barley. It further demonstrates that just as the barley grains are sustenance of life for living beings, similarly it is widely celebrated that His glorious feet are the nourishment of all souls.

White Rabbit, and songwriter, Jimi Hendrix, sang, Purple Haze. These thematic songs, and many others of the time, inspired the young generation to experiment with psychosomatic drugs in search of a transcendent experience.

A believer takes it as given that the universe must have a creator therefore God must exist. Over centuries great personalities have tried to establish or refute this proposition in various ways.
