Why Do Devotees Have a Negative Outlook on the Material World?

February 8th, 2013 | by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

The actual fact is that this material world is a miserable, negative place, full of danger at every step. It is a temporary abode of death, birth, disease and old-age, home of suffering and pain only. To come to this platform of understanding of things as they are, is not a very common thing, and therefore such persons who attain to it, they are described as great souls


Krishna: Monism or Duealism?

May 11th, 2012 | by Madhudvisa dasa

I was debating something for quite some time and I was wondering if you could help me out. Does Krishna preach monism(the universe is one big manifestation of God and the idea of a personal God is replaced by this universe) or dualism (the idea that this universe is pervaded by the Lord but also seperate from Him.) I would greatly greatly appereciate an answer back. This has been on my mind for a long time and I am suffering greatly from the inability to get an answer. God bless whoever returns this message.

What is the Age of Kali? (wonderful website and zene)

April 22nd, 2012 | by bhakta-peter

"In the Age of Kali, the Earth thus becomes crowded with a corrupt population, whoever among any of the social classes shows himself to be the strongest will gain political power."

This zine isn't for people who feel modern life couldn't be better. Such people like to be controlled more or less by the media's projection of the goal of life and attempts made by corporations to promote bodily consciousness.

This is a zine for people who, not only want something more like a change of politics, but who are seeking a spiritual dimension in life. And, I'm not talking of dogmatic formulas for the sake of some personal sentiment, but self-realized knowledge about the nature and origin of all things.

Spiritual knowledge that can be compatible with logic and intelligence.

This zine is based on a line of spiritual masters in India who have been passing this sacred knowledge down from ancient times.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami is such a spiritual master. Most people may think that to be humble and tolerant are the only qualities of a spiritual master, but, the real quality of a spiritual master is his compassion. Therefore he doesn't hesitate to speak out against an unjust and misleading civilization .

These are not someone's small minded opinions that are eagerly shared hoping the change the world.

This is standard knowledge coming from the Vedic culture, the oldest culture in the world.

Age of Kali, a zine for spiritual awareness in a materialistic society, only wishes to present this knowledge as it is, showing how relevant and essential it is in our society today.

Why we criticize Mayavadis?

October 1st, 2011 | by Madhudvisa dasa

Many people write to us asking why Srila Prabhupada criticizes the Mayavadis and impersonalists. Often they appear to accept the Mayavadi ideas that currently flood the world and they make so many arguments as to why we should not criticize the Mayavadis

MP3 Audio Press Conference at Airport July 28, 1975, Dallas

If Only the Busses Were Still Running…

February 25th, 2011 | by Gauridas Pandit dasa

We were dancing so much Sukadeva, the temple president was worried about the floor caving in. What a way to go! I'd never stayed at the temple before but since it was so late I decided to do so
