1. Tdasa ; We consider ourselves simply the modern followers of HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, as he taught and set the perfect examples. There is no such thing as "ritvik philosophy", per se, as we are simply following Prabhupada's philosophy.

Srila Prabhupada said;

"Simply work cooperatively for spreading this movement all over the world. The standards I have already given you, now try to maintain them at all times under standard procedure. Do not try to innovate or create anything or manufacture anything, that will ruin everything. Simply do as I am doing and be always serious and sincere to serve Krsna, and He will give you intelligence how to do everything."

Letter to Bali Mardan & Pusta Krsna, September18, 1972

Srila Prabhupada ;

" From now on unless I order you do something change or in addition, go on with the usual standard way. "

"Kṛṣṇa consciousness does not meant to be one-sided. Kṛṣṇa is all-pervading, the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement also should be all-perv

Your conviction that we have to supply the demands of Krishna and not to demand anything from Him is the pure devotional philosophy

Our philosophy is that you produce your food anywhere. You stay, and keep cows, take milk, produce vegetables, food grains, and chant Hare Krsna

“Our philosophy is.....

“Our philosophy is that you produce your food anywhere. You stay, and keep cows, take milk, produce vegetables, food grains, and chant Hare Kåñëa. That's all. This is our philosophy. Make your life successful. By becoming Kåñëa conscious, you become free from all these troubles of material condition. This is our education. Don't be after these motorcars, television, and all nonsense things, sporting, wine, women. Don't be after these. Simply eat sufficiently, keep your health nicely, chant Hare Kåñëa, realize Kåñëa, and go back to home. This is our philosophy.”

Gaura Vani & As Kindred Spirits

As I'm planning for an upcoming retreat to India in 2016, I came across this beautiful painting of Saint Tukaram & Lord Vitthala (painting by Vijay Adagale) and it reminded me of a beautiful poem by Tukaram. Thought I'd share

Two is Better Than One

Can water quaff itself?
Can trees taste of the fruit they bear?
He worships God must stand distinct from Him.
So only shall he know the joyful love of God.
For if he says that God and he are one
That joy, that love, shall vanish instantly away.
Pray, no more for utter oneness with God:
Where is the beauty, if Jewel and setting were one?
The heat and the shade are two--
If not, where is the comfort of shade?
Mother and child are too, if not where is their love?
When after they are separated they meet what joy they feel, the mother and child!
Where is that Joy, if the two were one?
Pray then, talk no more of utter oneness with God.

Tukaram, 17th Century Marathi poet

Unity Means The End of Love

Unity Means The End of Love

In order for there to be love expressed, there must be at least two nodal individuals, two identities, two persons. Love involves exchanges. If the identity is merged in Oneness of the Supreme Brahman, Nirvana, there is no more love possible, as there is no more individuals.

In terms of spiritual psychology, entering the bramhajyoti, the undifferentiated spiritual status, it is like suicide. It is like burning down the house to avoid paying taxes. It is like sticking one's head in the spiritual sand. It is a type of fatalistic cowardism, obscurantism. It is denial of life, denial of love, denial of everything out of frustration due to dissatisfaction with the limited material sphere of activities and consciousness. It is the last trap of Maya.

We came to the material world to play at being ourselves the Supreme Being, and when that fails, we seek to end our identity. That

“Scientific Reasoning vs Spiritual Belief Systems; a Realistic Comparison by Natural Observation”

BY: TAMOHARADASA V. (acbsp), MSc.

If we observe the real situation of the world around us, we can gain insight into what is the best direction for people to go; science or spiritual knowledge. A system of thought that correlates or explains more of what we can observe around us would, by Occam’s razor alone, have to be taken as more correct or true. And we also take it as a given that by following our own essential natures and thus a system of thought most akin to that nature, we will be most satisfied and happy.

At a basic physical level, gravity and the other forces of nature have no meaning except in relationship to things other than themselves. The law of Gravity, for example, must have an object, such as a planet, upon which to act. So the basic laws have their existence only in relation to there being an “other” to interact with.

Even at a molecular level, we observe that molecu
