Our daily diets contain milk and milk products. Besides being healthy for the body, it is also beneficial for the mind. The source of this dairy products is animals such as cows. Have you ever wondered what would happen if cows were slaughtered?

For a materialist exchanges of devotional service for lusty desires are always very prominent. As soon as lusty desires awaken, one's senses, mind, life, soul, religious principles, patience, intelligence, shyness, beauty, strength, memory and truthfulness are all vanquished. One can render unalloyed devotional service only when there are no material desires in one's mind. Let us discuss more in t...

Devotional service is not a matter of sentimental speculation or imaginative ecstasy. It's substance is practical activity. There are well-defined stages of systematic growth in spiritual life. A devotee can judge his current level and try to attain the next one. Let us understand: What are the different stages? In which stage we are in? How to go the next one?

Generally, people get confused whenever we talk about the form of the Lord. Some think that the universal form of Kṛṣṇa which was manifested to Arjuna is more important than His personal form. According to them, the personal form of the Supreme is something imaginary. They believe that in the ultimate issue, the Absolute Truth is not a person. But the transcendental process is described in Bhagava...

Sometimes people say "Spiritual life is very boring, there is no goal and aspiration". But it is not the fact. Just like a materialistic person aspires of material achievements, a devotee also aspires for spiritual achievement. There are spiritual goals in a devotee's life also but the difference is unlike a karmi, who has faith in his strength and abilities, a devotee is always fully dependent on...

The Vedic rites and rituals are imperative for neophytes: comprehending all kinds of prayer three times a day, taking a bath early in the morning, offering respects to the forefathers, etc. A person may be doing all these very rigidly but still miss the most important point. If one simply engages in the rituals and does not understand the purpose of the Vedas he is uselessly wasting time in such e...

Honesty is considered as a very good quality. An honest person is respected everywhere in this material world. But what if a thief projects himself as very honest? He sincerely divides looted money with his other co-thieves. He takes care of children and women's rights as well. He is very much transparent also. Can we call him Honest? Lets us understand: What is the actual meaning of being Honest?...

In Vedic literatures, we have heard a lot this word, GOD. Every bona fide religion talks about GOD. But there is something special in the case of Sanatana Dharma, it not only mentions about GOD but it also describes, in detail, about The ABSOLUTE TRUTH. The conception of God and the conception of Absolute Truth are not on the same level. The Srimad Bhagavatam hits on the target of the Absolute Tru...

The real purpose of human life is to attain liberation from material entanglement. Such liberation may be achieved by many methods, but all of them more or less depend on tapasya, austerity, which begins with celibacy. There are ten prescribed methods on the path to liberation. Those who have fully surrendered to the lotus feet of Lord Vāsudeva, Krishna, automatically achieve the results of all th...

The Bhagavad Gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna. The Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. Every man is in difficulty in so man...

The vigraha, the Deity of Kṛṣṇa, appears by Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. Because Kṛṣṇa is alakṣya, invisible, He becomes visible to give us the facility to see Him. It is not that Kṛṣṇa is stone, wood, or metal. Kṛṣṇa is always Kṛṣṇa, but because we cannot see anything beyond material elements like wood, stone, and metal, He appears one in a form made of these elements. Kṛṣṇa is everything, and therefore Kṛṣṇa...

Materialists think that sexual indulgence is the greatest happiness in this material world, and therefore they make elaborate plans to satisfy their senses, especially the genitals. This is generally found everywhere, and specifically found in the Western world, where there are regular arrangements to satisfy sex life in different ways. Actually, however, this has not made anyone happy. The human...

What is the Bhagavad Gita? The purpose of Bhagavad Gita is to deliver mankind from the nescience of material existence. Every man is in difficulty in so many ways, as Arjuna also was in difficulty in having to fight the Battle of Kurukshetra. Arjuna surrendered unto Sri Krsna, and consequently this Bhagavad Gita was spoken. Not only Arjuna, but every one of us is full of anxieties because of this...

What is Black Magic? Black magic is also known as Tantra Vidya or Occult. It is not magic, it is just a science. There are many men who practice this black art, and they think that it is supernatural or spiritual, but such activities are completely materialistic. The practice of Black magic is not something new, it has been practiced for generations. Tantra Vidya/sorcery is used to kill a person,...

Generally, a common man is interested in pounds, shillings and pence, or materialistic advancement in life. Throughout the entire world, everyone is making big, big plans to adjust the miseries of the material world, and this is true at present, in the past and in the future. In this material world it is not possible to become anxiety free. A person is bound to take a lot of anxiety either for him...

While committing a sinful act, a person due to ignorance thinks that no one has witnessed his sinful activity. He is free to do whatever he likes. But the fact is that he is being witnessed by so many living entities at each and every step of his life which he himself cannot see. Nature's  Laws are perfect. Nobody can escape these laws unless one takes complete shelter of the Supreme Personality o...

It is said that man is a rational animal. When the rationality is missing, then he is simply an animal, not a human being. It is expected from human beings to make relevant inquiries. There is certainly a great deal of comfort in the first-class coach of a train, but if the train does not move toward its destination, what is the benefit of an air-conditioned compartment? Contemporary civilization...

We generally celebrate Rewards, not Punishment. But in spiritual life even Punishments are celebrated. There was a great Vaishnava who exemplified: -DETACHMENT -DETERMINATION -SURRENDERANCE -DEPENDENCE But still Got a Punishment. Let's understand: Who was that Vaishnava? Why was he punished? What was the Punishment?

It is said: “For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of liberation Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage, and mind detached from sense objects is the cause of liberation. Therefore the mind which is always engaged in Krishna consciousness is the cause of supreme liberation. The mind becomes sinful because we are always engaged in sinful activities. To understan...

Astrology is a science. Jyotir-veda. That is a part of the Vedas. If it is performed correctly, one can know his past, present and future life. The future of many famous personalities, including Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Srila Prabhupada, was already predicted when they were born, but Prabhupada once told that “As soon as you clap your hands in front of the Deities during ārati,” “All the lines of...

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna, is known as Triyuga, which means that He is manifest in three yugas. But we have heard there are four yugas. What about the fourth one? Does the Lord not appear in Kali Yuga? Who will deliver people of Kali Yuga? Actually in the Age of Kali the Lord appears not directly but in disguise. Because the Lord is not directly perceived in Kali-yuga but is...

Lust comes in different degrees. For those who are in the mode of goodness, their lust is of a different quality, for those who are in the mode of passion, their lust is of a different quality, and for those who are in the mode of ignorance, their lust is of a different quality. That is the question. Just like there are first-class prisoners, second-class prisoners, and third-class prisoners. They...
