Are you striving to look young and slender?
“How pleasant is the day when we give up striving to be young – or slender.” – William James. Of course, we need to be healthy, and we would like to look good. But when looking good becomes an obsession, we subject ourselves to unnecessary torment. We adopt dubious dieting fads, swallow ‘fat-cutting’ magic pills and potions or undergo extreme exercise routines. Our mood goes up and down in inverse proportion to the reading on our weighing machine. Obsession with the idea...

New Zealand Annual General Meetings (Album of photos)
Ramai Swami: Devamrta Maharaja and I flew from the AGM in Australia to attend the AGM in New Zealand, which was held at New Varshana in Auckland.
It’s always a pleasure visiting New Varshana because of the beautiful deities and temple and because we have 100 acres of rural style living, but we’re only 25 minutes from downtown.
The meeting was held at the school and the leaders discussed relevant issues and challenges facing ISKCON. As always, the kirtan, association and prasadam ...

Human Devolution: A interview with Michael Cremo.
In their 1993, 900-page tome, Forbidden Archeology and its condensed version, Hidden History of the Human Race, co-authors Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson brought forth largely unknown evidence illustrating that modern humans worked and walked the earth millions of years ago, even as far back as 2 billion years ago. The reverberations of this work on the scientific materialist hegemony warranted an extensive response, entitled Forbidden Archeology’s Impact, wherein Michael Cremo provided a blo...

“Looking back, I don’t know what it was—youthful folly, divine inspiration, some chromosomal glitch in the DNA sequence—I don’t know what it was that prompted us to take this on…. We just felt compelled….We had faith in Yamuna.
We had faith in the fact that prasadam was so central to Prabhupada’s mission—that if we could do this, then we could die peacefully. I am not saying that in any kind of m...
