≻ Antilia: tycoon's highrise home appointed with every comfort and pleasure Prahlada Maharaja says that everything about material pleasure is already fixed. The uncivilized men in the jungle are having the same sex pleasure as the so-called civilized men who boast, "Instead of living in that hut made of leaves, we are living in a skyscraper building. This is advancement." But Vedic civilization says, "No, this is not advancement. Real advancement is self-realization—how much you have realized your relationship with God." More
≻ Dealing with Celebrity If one is so expert that he can engage everything or dovetail everything in the service of the Lord, to give up the material world would be a great blunder.

≻ Information and sensory overload turning us into numbskulls Our news, we have to canvass, "Will you kindly take this? Will you kindly take this." They are not interested.

≻ TL;DR – Attention Shutting Down They have created many, many thousands of literary works for the information of the people in general for thousands and thousands of years. Unfortunately none of them have brought peace and tranquillity on the earth.. More
≻ The Love Feast If I go to your house and if you want to offer me something to eat, you will ask me what I wish to eat. That is the etiquette. So similarly, we have to offer Krishna what Krishna likes to eat.. More

≻ Prabhupada, the Renaissance Man
When there were riots in Berkeley California, we were in telephonic radio interview with the riot scene. They asked John Lennon if he had some advice. He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders as if to say "What do I say?" I said, "Tell them to chant Hare Krishna." So he told the interviewer, "Chant Hare Krishna." More
≻ Substance Over Form There are many subject matters of hearing. Just like in newspaper you hear so many news. But if you hear something about Krishna, that is the only perfect thing. More
≻ Pax in Terra, War on Maya If the aim of spiritual realization is missed, the whole plan of materialism is sure to be frustrated and that is the law of Nature. More
≻ Life of Service Perfect knowledge is that "My constitutional position is to serve." Bring any man in this world. Who can say that "I am not servant"? Is there any man or woman within this world, within this universe, who is not a servant? More
≻ Michael Jackson reported to have visited Bhaktivedanta Manor If this tortured soul received some opportunity to hear about, see or otherwise contact Srila Prabhupada and His Lord Sri Krishna in London or anywhere else - then he is - LIKE EACH OF US - wonderfully blessed. More

≻ Mind: Friend or Enemy? Desire is the function of the mind, and one desires according to his association; so if the mind is to act as friend, there must be good association. More
≻ News: Place of Pilgrimage for Crows or Swans? "Those words which do not describe the glories of the Lord, who alone can sanctify the atmosphere of the whole universe, are considered by saintly persons to be like unto a pilgrimage for crows." More
≻ Newspapers fail to identify what is newsworthy So this politician inquired from Guru Maharaja, "You are publishing a daily paper about God consciousness?" "Yes." "No, what you are writing?" He was surprised. The politicians think that newspaper can be filled up with rubbish political news only. That's all. They cannot think that newspaper can be filled up by news from spiritual world.

≻ End of a Lifetime of Unfinished Work So human life should be for determining where I am going when I finish this life.
