Living Beings – Spirit Soul – Life Force
≻ What TSA Fails to Detect We are Krishna's part and parcel, all living entities, but we do not see each other. You cannot see me, I do not see you. "No, I see you." What you see? You see my body. More
≻ Defeated by Fear Don't you think that the body is full of danger? Then, why are you going there, taking repeated birth? When you are flying in a plane, you are always fearful that there may be a crash. And what is this crashing? It is due to the body. The soul cannot be affected by crashes. But you are always afraid. More
≻ The Soul Is Not Subject To Death We think in terms of Eastern philosophy, Western philosophy, but actually there's no East and West. This is not East and West. This is everywhere. People in the East are also old, diseased and dying. They may have less material amenities in terms of eating, sleeping, defending, mating, but they will all come to the same, undergo the same tribulations. More
≻ Soul Living, Body Dead! Hansadutta das From the moment we come out of the womb we are wrestling against birth, old age, disease and death. Sometimes we celebrate birthdays - "Oh, I'm 18 years old now!" But actually, you are 18 years dead. You have died 18 years. Every day the sun comes up and goes down, that's gone. More
≻ Every Man Must Die! The Christians think they are Christian, the black man thinks he is black, the white man thinks he is white, the Jew thinks he's Jewish, the American thinks he's American, the Greek Man thinks he's Greek. But this is the biggest fraud in the entire history of human civilization. More
≻ Glass temple reflections That a copy (though not exact) of ISKCON's Changing Bodies diorama is now decorating the high wall of a glass temple in Malaysia is testimony of the far-reaching influence of the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. More
≻ Dead and Undead "In this way the living entity gets a suitable body with a material mind and senses, according to his fruitive activities. When the reaction of his particular activity comes to an end, that end is called death, and when a particular type of reaction begins, that beginning is called birth." More
≻ You're Not That Body Preliminary talks on spiritual matter is discussed in this Bhagavad-gita. And this book is still read, even after five thousand years, all over the world. More
≻ Not Possible to Check Population Growth They are not going back to home, back to Godhead. Therefore it is crowded. More
≻ The Great Health Debate We are taking care of the necessities of the body, but we have no information of the soul and its necessities. More
≻ Now inject the living entity into sperm Although the ovum and semen mix together after sex, there is not always pregnancy. Unless the soul enters the mixture, there is no possibility of pregnancy... More
≻ Size Does Matter The jiva particle is estimated in the Vedic literature to be one ten-thousandth the size of the upper portion of a hair. He is therefore infinitesimal. The Supreme Spirit is infinite, but the living entity, or individual soul, is infinitesimal, although he is not different in quality from the Supreme Spirit. More
≻ Changing Bodies We are changing our blood corpuscles, and therefore a change of the body is taking place, and that is being manifested in a different shape only. Actually, we are changing every moment our body. So the ultimate change, when this body cannot be worked any more, just like a dress, when it is torn, when it is too old, you have to change it. More
≻ Prolife Politics The king represents all living beings, the aquatics, plants, trees, reptiles, birds, animals and man. Every one of them is a part and parcel of the Supreme Lord (Bhagavad-gita 14.4), and the king, being the representative of the Supreme Lord, is duty-bound to give proper protection to every one of them. This is not the case with the presidents and dictators of this demoralized system of administration, where the lower animals are given no protection while the higher animals are given so-called protection. More
≻ Overpopulation a Myth This theory of overpopulation is nonsense. It is also nonsense. There cannot be overpopulation. But there is restriction, by nature. Nature will restrict production of food if there are demons. More
≻ Artificial Life? Get Real - They don't even know what life is DR. WOLF: Srila Prabhupada, they would not create. They would only imitate. PRABHUPADA: That is not... It is never created. That is their missing point, that life is never created and they are trying to create. More

Evolution Interrupted
If an animal is staying in a particular body for so many days or so many years and is untimely killed, then he has to come back again in that form of life to complete the remaining days in order to be promoted to another species of life. More
≻ What's Your Name? This "John" is not actually your name, because you are spirit soul, eternal. But this "John" name is in relationship with this temporary body. As soon as this body is finished, the "John" name is finished. Then again, you take another body, you have got another name. More
≻ Misplaced concern over dead bodies The car is dead. The car is moving because you are alive. Similarly, this dead body, this body is dead, already dead from the very beginning, but it is moving on account of the soul. More
≻ Atomic Theory: superior and inferior energy Physicists, they have not been able to find out the spiritual atom. Therefore they are puzzled, and their scientific research is incomplete. But the Bhagavad-gita gives them information, "You rascal, this is inferior. These material atoms are inferior." Apareyam. They'll not take it. Apareyam itas tu: "Besides this, there is another energy, spiritual energy." More
≻ Living Wills and a Will to Live They do not know that every moment they are dying. Dying, death has begun since he, one takes birth. And our business is before dying we must be prepared for the next life. More
≻ Science of Unknowns They cannot answer this question that there must be something superior which is moving this body. And they cannot answer what is that superior element. More
≻ Heart and Soul The Vedas describe the heart as a sitting place for the soul. So when they transplant hearts, they simply change the soul's seat. The same soul remains. More
≻ Dead Matter and the Life Force Scientists, because they are materialistic persons, they cannot understand wherefrom the energy, the life energy, is emanating. Otherwise life energy is there even within the atom. More
≻ Neither Live Nor Die Once when a saintly person was passing on his way, he met a prince, the son of a king, and he blessed him, saying, "My dear prince, may you live forever." More
≻ Bushy Science: Darwin and more missing links The different forms are already there. Just like the form of monkeys also there, the form of man is also there, other animals, other birds, beasts. So he has no clear conception how the evolution is taking place, neither he has any idea about whose evolution. He simply takes account of the body. More
≻ Evolution and the Soul According to Ishopanishad In the cycle of evolution, the living entity changes bodies one after another. More
≻ Waking Up Whether I am intelligently working during the time when I am awake, or whether I am working under dreams, or whether I am being transferred to another body—I am having sound sleep under chloroform—I am the same. I am the same. I am that eternal soul. More
≻ Discriminating Against the Poor But just consider: if a poor man is lying helpless in the street, can I kill him? Will the state excuse me? I may say, "I have only killed a poor man. There was no need for him in society. Why should such a person live?" More
≻ Old Age - Out from the Mouths of Babes It is very embarrassing to have a dead body about. No one keeps a dead body, however beautiful it might have been and however much affection we might have had for the body while living. That affection stops when life leaves the body. At that time, we can understand that the body is not really beautiful at all; that the element of beauty within the body was actually the soul. More
≻ Who is this person I knew to be my son, my brother? The so-called father and mother have nothing to do with the living entity. As a result of his own choice and karma, the living being takes different bodies through the agency of so-called fathers and mothers. More
≻ Beyond Hardwired Psychological means mental plane. How he will understand soul from the mental platform? That is not possible. More
≻ Tenuous Shelter: From Conception to Birth Lord Kapila’s instructions on the movements of the living entities, how the living entity is conceived within the womb of the mother, how its body develops, and what its situation is. More
≻ Changing Bodies in this Lifetime As you are changing your body, we have changed, every one of us, we have changed body. I was a baby. I was a child. I was a boy. I was young man. Now I have got a different body. Where have those bodies gone? More
≻ How is God like a herdsman and doctor? Thus the Lord is like a herdsman, who moves the creatures under his protection to various pastures and watering spots in order to protect them and sustain them. More

≻ "Who is my Father? Who is my Mother?"
"According
to the results of my fruitive activities, I, the living being,
transmigrate from one body to another... in which birth were these two
my mother and father?" More
≻ Blessed Art Thou Without Soul? May, may I ask you one question? Jesus says: "Thou shalt not kill." So why Christian people are killing? More
≻ A Case of Mistaken Identity There is a great defect in the modern civilization, and people are accepting this body as self, and based on this mistake in the foundation, everything is going wrong. The basic principle of civilization—accepting this body as the soul—is the beginning of all problems. More
≻ Mercy Killing or Killing Mercy? The living entity gets a suitable body with a material mind and senses, according to his fruitive activities. When the reaction of his particular activity comes to an end, that end is called death, and when a particular type of reaction begins, that beginning is called birth. More
≻ Population on the Rise (or Fall into Lower Species?) The modern theory—the population has increased— this is a nonsense theory. If there is production is sufficient, where is the question of population increasing? Let population increase. More
≻ Living Entities Not Created: scientists will never create life That is stated in the Bhagavad-gita, na jayate na mriyate va. All these living entity, they are never created; neither they ever die. More
≻ Transmigration of the Soul The theory of transmigration of soul is the special feature of Hinduism, and it distinguishes it from the other two religions—Christianity and Mahomedanism. More
≻ Solve the primary problem The whole premise of modern civilization, based on the idea of advancement of education, technology, industry and economics is dismissed by us (VAISHNAVAS) as ERRONEOUS and therefore IRRELEVANT for the well being of this planet earth with its 4 to 5 billion human beings and innumerable animals, insects. More
≻ 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
≻ Soul Research In 1972, a distinguished panel met in Windsor, Ontario, and discussed "problems associated with attempts to define the exact moment of death." Panel members included world-famous heart surgeon Dr. Wilfred G. Bigelow, Mr. Justice Edson L. Haines of the Ontario Supreme Court, and J. Francis Leddy, president of the University of Windsor. Dr. Bigelow upheld the existence of the soul and urged systematic research to determine what the soul is and where it comes from. More
≻ Zen, Christian Teachings and Krishna Consciousness This body is working on account of the living force within. When the living force is out, it is called dead. But actually it is dead always. The living force is the important thing. That is making him alive. Actually alive or dead, it is dead matter. But the living force is the active principle. More
≻ America Has to Stop Demonism Why America went to Vietnam? To stop communism, but ... we have to stop demoniac civilization. Then the human society will be happy and in normal condition. More
≻ No Such Thing as Independence We are forced into the womb of the mother, in a particle of semen of the father, then the embryo develops. Then we are forced out at birth. Then we are forced as babies to eat, forced this and forced that. Then forced to go to school. Then we are forced to marry and forced to go to work. Forced to pay the rent and buy the food. Everything is forced upon us, because we are prisoners of this material nature. More
≻ Do You Really Know Who You Are? "According to the results of my fruitive activities, I, the living being, transmigrate from one body to another, sometimes going to the species of lower animals, sometimes going to the species of lower animals, sometimes among the vegetables, and sometimes to the human species. Therefore, in which birth were these two my mother and father?" More
≻ Who is Crazy? The body may change, yet we have the feeling that we do not change. “I am the same man,” we think, “and in my childhood I looked like this or like that.” Where have those years gone? They have vanished along with the body and everything that came in contact with it. But although everything is changing at every moment, we are still sticking to our bodily identification so that when we are asked what we are, we give an answer that is somehow or other related to this body.
