Harinama in Guarujá, Brazil (Album 12 photos)
Srila Prabhupada: Although a Vaishnava is the most exalted person, he is prideless and gives all respect to everyone, knowing everyone to be the resting place of Krishna. If one chants the holy name of Lord Krishna in this manner, he will certainly awaken his dormant love for Krishna’s lotus feet. (Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Antya-lila, 20.25.26)

A website for Srila Prabhupada (for non devotee audience) Prabhupada.net.
Hare Krishna Dear devotees,Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. We had a lot of feedback from devotees regarding the need of having an official website for Srila Prabhupada. One of the reasons is that when someone out there goes to look up Srila Prabhupada they end up getting all kinds of ritviks and other twisted websites, on him. So, with the blessings of the whole GBC body, we made a website for Srila Prabhupada (for non devotee audience). The website has been launched for a few months now. As far as coming up in the search, even if you search for ‘Prabhupada’ it still shows up at about number 15. According to our web team, we need your help. This website needs to get more ‘hits’ and more ‘links’ to get its rating improved and come up higher in ‘search’. Our humble request to the leaders: if all ISKCON preaching websites will put a button on their home page for more information on our Founder Acarya please click at ‘prabhupada.net’ that would help us a lot. We welcome your feedback.
Your ServantAkrura DasSPPC (Srila Prabhupada Position Committee) PS: We are working on a ‘devotee friendly’ website for Srila Prabhupada
(Founderacharya.com). Right now it only shows our booklet but we are working on the contents, in the background, to fully launch it soon.

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, October 2014, Mayapur, India, Siksastakam Seminar: Verses 1&2, Part 1) Question: Maharaj, you were explaining how each acharya practices the jewel of transcendental knowledge he receives from the predecessors and adds his personal touch. Sometimes we listen to different devotees and each adds their touch, so it is difficult to consolidate. That is […]

Let Indradyumna Swami transport you Into Ancient Times with this beautiful album of 191 photos!
Indradyumna Swami: Present day Humpi in Karnataka, India is located in the vast ruins of the Vijayanagara Empire, which flourished in the 13th and 14th centuries. The many stone temples, gardens, palaces and ancient market places are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular importance to Krsna and Rama bhaktas is the fact that Hanuman took birth on a mountain that overlooks present day Humpi. The entire area is called Kishkindha in the Ramayana and once contained the famous Dandaka forest. In Treta Yuga it was the kingdom of Sugriva, of the Varana monkey race. The region is full of millions of stones and boulders, both big and small. Sastra says the stones were left over after the bridge to Lanka was built and were brought to Kishkindha by Rama’s monkey soldiers. It took us 3 days to explore the entire area. We left with a deeper appreciation for our Vedic civilization, as well as a stronger attachment to the transcendental pastimes of Sita, Rama, Laksman and Hanumanji.

Does the improbability of extra-terrestrial life support more the Christian conception of God than the Vedic conception?
→ The Spiritual Scientist

From Dr Roy: Christians hold that life exists only on earth, whereas Vedas hold that life exists on other planets. So how can we use as evidence for God’s existence the scientific inference that life on other planets is improbable, as the below widely read article mentions? http://www.wsj.com/article_email/eric-metaxas-science-increasingly-makes-the-case-for-god-1419544568-lMyQjAxMTI0MjMyMTYzODExWj Answer Podcast: Download by “right-click and save […]
