Yoga
≻ Yoga = Yoke, Like A Bull To A Cart All of us, especially in the West, we are compelled by sex attraction, sex drive. Man is attracted to woman, woman is attracted to man. The Vedic philosophy explains that the entire force of material activity is centered on this attraction. Not only in human society, but amongst the animals, birds and fishes, and even trees have sex.

≻ To Eat or Not to Eat If you want to control the senses, you have to control the tongue first of all. Then you will be able to control other senses very easily. So you give tongue the engagement of chanting Hare Krishna, and for tasting Krishna prasadam you'll find that your other senses are already controlled. More
≻ Practical Knowledge There are so many societies where the members seriously discuss Vedanta philosophy while smoking and drinking and enjoying a sensual life. More
≻ Master of all Yogis What's going on here? As one who has watched a fair share of kung fu and horror movies from Hong Kong — you know, where the actors are suddenly yanked upwards into trees or sky or ontop of buildings by wires — I have to confess my skepticism. More
≻ Death of a Pop Icon: Where to next? At death, the finer elements (mind, intelligence, and ego), which, combined, are called consciousness, carry the small particle of spirit soul to another body to suffer or enjoy, according to one's work. 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
≻ Reducing Eating and Sleeping As far as the body is concerned, there are four demands—eating, sleeping, mating, and defending. The problem with modern civilization is that it is trying to increase these demands, but they should be decreased instead. More
≻ More to Yoga than Exercise The real purpose for practicing yoga is to realize that I am not this body. More
≻ Honor and Dishonor "People will always speak of your infamy, and for one who has been honored, dishonor is worse than death." — Bhagavad-gita 2.34 More
≻ Mind Control One who cannot control his mind lives always with the greatest enemy, and thus his life and its mission are spoiled. More

≻ Practical Yoga for Everyone
We should take care of the car for it to carry us to and fro, but we should not become so attached to it that we are polishing it every day. We must utilize this material body in order to execute Krishna consciousness, and to this end we should keep it fit and healthy, but we should not become too attached to it. More
≻ Positive Engagement of the Senses We do not know how to control the senses. We do not know the real yogic principle of controlling the senses. More
≻ Karma Yoga - Applying the Principles of Bhagavad-gita to Your Life The arrangement is so nice in the administration of nature that we shall get all our necessities of life by the grace of God, and our duty is to advance ourself in the right knowledge of our spiritual existence without unnecessarily engaging ourself for sense gratification. More
≻ Transcending Addiction: Engagement, Not Suppression We must understand that behind the whimsical will is the spirit soul. When that spirit soul understands his real identification as the eternal servant of Krishna, his will is purified. More
≻ Potency of Sound Our entanglement in material affairs has begun from material sound. Now we must purify that sound in spiritual understanding. There is sound in the spiritual world also. If we approach that sound, then our spiritual life begins... More
≻ Study Shows People Who Sleep 8 Hours Die Sooner ...It's possible that sleeping too much, like eating too much, is bad for your health. More
≻ Subtle Laws of the Universe We have discussed about brahmastra. It is almost similar to the modern nuclear weapon or bomb. But it is made with chemicals, but this brahmastra is made of mantra. That is the subtle way. More
≻ Don't Waste Your Breath We will lose 2 hours and 50 minutes of life per day for this excess sleep of half an hour. For this reason it is found that people who are not early risers are usually short-lived. More

≻ Duration of Life is Destined
Life
cannot be prolonged by heart transplant. You cannot increase the
duration of life. One can perhaps give some relief to disease, that is
another thing, but the duration of life is destined. More
≻ Redirect—Don't Repress—the Senses So we cannot stop the senses from acting. We cannot stop the mind from thinking. We simply have to know the principle how to think and how to use everything for the service of Krishna. 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
≻ Meditation in the Age of Quarrel This fixing of the mind upon God is the basic principle of all meditation, and therefore vibration of the transcendental sound of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra is a simple, authorised and effective method of transcendental meditation. More
≻ "Unless You Become Like Children" In Bhagavad-gita Krishna says, "Yoga is not for one who eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough." (Bhagavad-gita 6.16 ) More
≻ Who Enjoys Indeed? Yoga practice without devotional service ultimately leaves one stranded in the material world. Of course, one may attain wonderful mystic powers, but mystic powers cannot really satisfy our eternal hankering for spiritual life. More
≻ The Force of Desires The purpose of the preliminary practice of yoga, whether it is karma-yoga, jñana-yoga, ashtanga-yoga or even bhakti yoga, is to completely purify one's existence: first physical existence, then mental existence and intellectual existence. That will give us entrance into our eternal, spiritual existence, which is our real existence. More
