Our Mission: To help everyone awaken their original Krishna consciousness, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss.

May that day, which the world so desperately needs, come very soon. We request you to participate in this mission by reviving your dormant Krishna consciousness and assisting us in spreading this science all over the world.

Today's Thought:

Death is Sitting on Your Head at Every Moment
uploaded from Pretoria, South Africa

What is the difference between a materialist and and a transcendentalist? The materialist thinks that he will live forever, and the transcendentalist knows that he can die at any moment. The real fact is that death is sitting on your head at every moment and can take you at any time even when you least expect it. Therefore the wise man lives every moment in full Krishna consciousness knowing full well it could be his last moment. He never forgets that Krishna is his only shelter and his only protection from this dangerous, all-devouring ocean of birth and death.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Bhagavad-gita is Opposed?


Please accept my obeisances!

Why is it that this Bhagavad-gita knowledge, which is the highest of all wisdom, is opposed in highly developed countries such as we see in the recent court base in Russia to ban the Bhagavad-gita?  Where else does the Bhagavad-gita get opposition? Why do we accept the validity of Christ's teachings while many of the conventional Christians don't accept the science of the Bhagavad-gita?

Siva
 


Answer: The Fools Want to Remain Fools


In a world society where the status quo is ignorance, it is natural that there will strong opposition to knowledge. One time I was arrested and put in jail for 36 hours for distributing this sublime knowledge of Krishna in Leesburg, Florida USA.

The Vedas teach a universal understanding of religion, that anyone who becomes a pure devotee of God is a first class religionist, no matter what religion system he may be following. Unfortunately not all religious people are fortunate to have this universal understanding of religion. They think that one can reach God only by belonging to a particular religious sect. Such fools are ignorant that religion is one, to become a pure lover of God. There is no such thing as this religion and that religion. Religion is one, to become a pure lover of God. In this connection it is important to always remember that while God has given us religion, the science of giving our loving service to Him, it is man who has invented so many religions based on the selfish concept of taking service from God instead of giving service to God.
