Newspapers and MSM: Fail
Asking questions and getting answers is the whole engagement, according to Srila Prabhupada in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, First Canto. The students are asking questions and getting answers, the politicians are asking questions and getting answers, the housewife is asking questions and getting answers, everyone is asking questions and getting answers, and they go on asking questions and getting answers for the whole of their lives, but the questions and answers do not satisfy anyone.

Representing Krishna As He Is You are thinking Krishna is gone, but Krishna is present by His instruction, by His name, by His form, by His quality, by His pastime, because He is absolute. Krishna is never absent.

Inmates Appreciate
Bhagavad-gita As It Is I requested inmates,
who regularly write to me, to write down a few lines about how they

Tax Law, US
Government & Krishna - fiction when convenient? When I was in
Calcutta, there was a rent tax passed by the government, and some
expert lawyer changed the whole thing by his interpretation. The
government had to re-enact, you see, because the purpose was foiled by
the interpretation of the lawyer. You see? So we are not out for
foiling the purpose of Krishna for which the Bhagavad-gita is
said. More

Secular Government
Freedom of Religion So

system. It doesn't matter whether one is Hindu or one is Christian, one

duty to see that one who is professing as Hindu whether he's executing
the Hindu principles of religion properly. More

The Krishna
Consciousness Movement is the Genuine Vedic Way Dr.
J. F. Staal's statement that the Krishna cult is a combination of
Christian and Hindu religion, as if something manufactured by
concoction, is not correct. If Christian, Muhammadan, or Buddhist
religions are personal, that is quite welcome. But the Krishna religion
has been personal from a time long, long ago when Christian,
Muhammadan, and Buddhist religions had not yet come into existence.

The Greatest Barrier to
Spiritual Life
So
long this conception of life will exist, that, 'I am this body, and
anyone who is related with this body, they are my own men, kinsmen,
relatives...' This conception of life is the greatest barrier for
advancing in spiritual consciousness. More
Surrender is the Process The
whole Bhagavad-gita was spoken just to convince Arjuna to surrender.
The whole Bhagavad-gita has one focus, one target: to convince Arjuna
to surrender to Krishna’s desire, which was to fight and kill. And by
extension, the same principle is applicable to every one of us.

philosophers, poets, thoughtful men—and give the answers to all their
questions. More

Transcendental Television Here
is a television box within your heart. This is the perfection of yoga.
It is not you have to purchase one machine, or television set. It is
there, and God is also there. You can see, you can hear, you can talk,
provided you have got the machine. You repair it, that's all. The
repairing process is Krishna consciousness. More
