Without Love and Devotion to Radha and Krishna I am Nothing…

As I studied over the years I have come to realize without Bhakti – all I do, all I say and all I think is nothing but sand. Without love and devotion to Krishna and Radha I am nothing. In the words of Sri Chaitanya: “…wake up sleeping soul – How long will you sleep under the spell of Maya? You have forgotten the way of Bhakti and as a result you have wandered, lost endlessly in a never ending cycle ...Read More

Terrorists

You write that things are in a crises in England, with oil shortages and IRA bombing. Therefore, we have to take shelter of Krsna. If Krsna wants to kill us, that is not wrong, if it is His desire. Our business should just be to follow the regulative schedule, deity worship, distributing prasadam, chanting, book distribution and never mind the material danger. Krsna Consciousness means to be on the platform of Yogesvara: One problem that seems to be occurring more ...Read More

Safety in a Dangerous World

Since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the world is now faced with unprecedented danger and uncertainty. Recent headlines reveal that the threat of terrorism in the U.S. and abroad has reached critical proportions. Once again we are forced to contemplate our fragility and mortality in this material world. Anything can happen now — and we know it. For those of us old enough to remember, these recent events may conjure up memories of the Great Northeast Blackout in ...Read More

The Peace Formula

“The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.” (Bhagavad Gita 5.29) Srila Prabhupada called this verse of Bhagavad-gita the “peace formula.” It seems appropriate that we hear something from Srila Prabhupada about how the world can be brought into a peaceful condition now as we seem to be practically on the ...Read More

Modern Atomic Weapons and Ancient Mantra Weapons

Mantra Wars

I will concentrate on the nature of mantras and how they were used in ancient times or in ‘Vedic’ civilizations that go back more than 5,000 years and were employed not only for spiritual emancipation but in military applications as well. In other words, mantras were used to defeat the enemy in times of war. WHAT IS A MANTRA? The definition given in the glossary of the “Bhagavad-gita As It Is” by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-acarya ...Read More

The Focus of Vedic Civilization

The Vedic civilization was the original culture of this world, but it disintegrated after a great world war that occurred about 5,000 years ago. That took place in India in what we know today as Kurukshetra, north of New Delhi. In fact, to this day scientists who go there and examine the sands find that they are fused, like sands are fused after a nuclear blast; because they were advanced in all kinds of technology. ...Read More

Third World War?

You are killing innocent cows and other animals–nature will take revenge. Just wait. As soon as the time is right, nature will gather all these rascals and slaughter them. Finished. They’ll fight amongst themselves–Protestants and Catholics, Russia and America, this one and that one. It is going on. Why? That is nature’s law. Tit for tat. You have killed. Now you kill yourselves. (JSD 6.5) The demoniac are engaged in activities that will lead the world to destruction. The Lord ...Read More

Off to War Again–Who’s Side is God on?

Now that we are ready to inavde Iraq and with the looming threat of a possible nuclear war with North Korea notwithstanding the nuclear threats posed by Pakistan and India, it seems the whole world is poised on the brink of a world war holocaust. But the big question on everyone’s mind is, Who’s side is God on?

Will God Save America This Time?

The United States is now dominating and controlling the new capitalist world order that has emerged. They have created a vast empire from one end of the earth to the other… Human beings were not made to be forced, but have God given free moral agency. Pushing people into a corner and trying to ram something down their throats won’t work. This just breeds rebellion and resistance. A quote from Henry David Thoreau (from Civil Disobedience) “I was not born to ...Read More

Avoiding a War with Iraq?

Some devotees have wanted pada to post some anti-war propaganda regarding US president George Bush’s idea to go to war with Iraq. Well, first of all, I believe that the only real way that war(s) can be prevented is to have have had mass harinma samkirtana [congregational chanting of the Hare Krishna maha mantra] all over the planet, as was Srila Prabhupada’s wish and desire, and which he said would prevent That samkirtana process is, he says, the only practical method ...Read More

Australia’s role in a war about oil

In the build-up to war against Iraq it has become increasingly apparent, despite what US President George Bush says, that there is more to this than a simple case of good against evil. President Saddam Hussein is a brutal tyrant. But he is not alone in that. The threats to world peace from terrorism and weapons of mass destruction is real. But these dangers are complex and their causes are not limited to or even primarily associated with Iraq and the ...Read More

Six Months of President George Bush’s

Today is the six month anniversary of the tragic September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington DC last year. It seems an appropriate moment to reflect on the cause of this terrible attack on America. Here in the United States there is a feeling that America is a peaceful God-loving country and this attack on America was completely unjust an unwarranted. Every action has a cause. Nothing happens by chance. In ...Read More

Book Distribution In NYC after the Bombing

This photo of Madhusudana Prabhu (left) and myself appeared in a national Indian newspaper. It shows us distributing Srila Prabhupada’s books in Union Square a few days after the World Trade Center disappeared. For two days after the bombing the New Yorkers were very disturbed and we could not distribute many books but after that the people were very receptive. By Srila Prabhupada’s and Krishna’s mercy we were able to distribute many thousands of Srila Prabhupada’s books to ...Read More
