Eating Healthy & Wise and The Meat Video
There is so much information out there, that eating meat is harmful to the environment, harmful to our health, and is just not good economic sense. What to speak of the destructive power that eating meat brings, in the cruelty, suffering, and death, to billions of innocent animals, just so that the "two legged" animal of man can put some dead corpse on his tongue. Not thinking of all the other important ramifications of the meat industry and its destructive power on the plane
In The Perfect World
Yes, rather than being predators for food, and when our anatomy resembles more the vegetarian animals, a civilized spiritual society that places emphasis on values like compassion, we have to learn to eat in a non-violent way. That will make the human beings more peaceful. #vegan #prasadam #vegetarian #karma #Bhagavadgita #meditation #yoga #bhaktiyoga
KIRTAN-YOGA: Nurturing the Sounds of the Soul
By Steven J. Rosen (Satyaraja Dasa) Who hasn’t tried conventional yoga? Nearly everyone, at one time or another, has found themselves sitting with eyes closed, in a lotus position, perhaps, engaging various breathing techniques and focusing on some meditational image or conundrum. “The benefit that one attained in the Satya Age by meditation, in the Treta Age by sacrifice, and in the Dvapara Age by temple worship, can be had in the Kali Age merely by reciting the names of Kri
The Brahma Muhurta Hour
Did you know, that one and a half hours before the sunrise each day, is called in the Vedas the Brahma-muhurta hour (hour of God)? It is the best time for self-realization. It has been claasified as the most prestime segment of the day for doing one's sadhana or spiritual practice, especially chanting of the holy names of the Lord - Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare. Srila Prabhupada, the great acarya (perect spirit
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
In the fall of 2004 in San Luis Obispo, California, Hridayananda Goswami (Howard Resnick Ph.D.) offered a series of lectures on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra. The course was based on his own translations from the original Sanskrit text to English, explaining the meaning of each verse in a straightforward, practical, and easily assimilated manner. One would be hard pressed to find anyone more qualified than H.D. Goswami to present the teachings of the Yoga Sutra. Possessing a deep g
Vedic Ranch Hosts Zebu Herd
VEDIC RANCH HOSTS SMALL HERD OF ZEBU COWS Mar 01, 2015 — SEDONA, ARIZONA, USA (SUN) — "Every house-holder can have a little land, a cow for milking, grow their own food - economic problem solved". Srila Prabhupada must have said this many times. He really believed that anyone could live, survive in this way, with Krishna consciousness of course. Without a spiritual life of Krishna consciousness, what's the use, of anything? The only way to satisfy the soul is to lead a life d
Enlightenment or Destruction, We Choose
In the Bhagavad-gita as It Is, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna says;
The demoniac do not know what is to be done.and what is not to be done....They engage in unbeneficial work meant to destroy the world." The government officials, in a democratic society, are chosen by the people. Therefore, if they find and elect an enlightened being, who places primary importance on human society being engaged in the pursuit of understanding the Absolute Truth and self real
KARMA & THE LAWS OF MATERIAL NATURE
KARMA has become a household word. Just about everone has heard something about it - "as you sow, so shall ye reap" (the Bible). Every action we perform is like a seed sown. Just as different seeds, such as rice seeds or mango seeds, bear fruits at different rates, so do different karmic seeds. But while we can discard ripe produce if its turns out bad, we can't discard the bad fruit of our karmic seeds. We have to eat—suffer—every single karmic fruit we have sown. The Sanskr
YOGA & MEDITATION: The Book That Started It All
Bhagavad-gita: "It was the first of books, it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence, which in another age and climate, had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, Journals Bhagavad-gita as It Is, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The largest selling, most widely used edition of the Gita in the Western world. What if
Starship Mantra: Is There Life On Other Planets?
The theory that life may exist on other planets, has fascinated the human mind for countless millenia. Are we alone in the universe, supposing our imperfect mechanical measurememnts in space or finite egos, can verify or even accomodate any notion of life foms beyond the earth planet? Or does every planet of this universe and others, like islands in space, support life in different types of atmospheres, attaining to which the permanent living beings, the jivatmas, reside ther
