In this unprecedented period in the world’s history where health has become a constant source of concern, a pure devotee can give us some secrets of health.

What is the most important secret of health? Srila Prabhupada reveals it in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.10:

“In Kali-yuga, the duration of life is shortened not so much because of insufficient food but because of irregular habits. By keeping regular habits and eating simple food, any man can maintain his health. Overeating, over-sense gratification, over-dependence on another’s mercy, and artificial standards of living sap the very vitality of human energy. Therefore the duration of life is shortened.”

Ayurveda explains that one of the main causes of ill health is stress. Stress can result from natural changes like the fall in temperature from day to night. When the stresses of

In this Bengali video, Lord Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, anxious to start the worldwide sankirtana movment, after spending His last night with His dear wife, quietly departs His home and native city Mayapura, early in the morning, and in ecstatic love of Krsna, leaves forever His young wife, Swamini Visnupriya, and His widowed Mother Saci, and also His many dear village associates.

He has left them all behind to wander as a shaven-headed renounced teacher, Sri Krsna Caitanya, in heart-broken search for His beloved Radha and Krishna, thus to establish His mission of spreading Hari Nama chanting to every town and village.

Temporarily Lord Gauranga is diverted to Santipura. Everyone's hearts are broken, Visnupriya Swamini and Srimati Saci Devi are devastated, Vishnupriya devi has turned grey over a few days times from crying, and is looking too thin. Srimati Sita Thakurani and Sri Advaita Acarya hardly know how to console everyone's grie

“One in the vanaprastha order of life should always practise taking charity from others, for one is thereby freed from illusion and quickly becomes perfect in spiritual life. Indeed, one who subsists on food grains obtained in such a humble manner purifies his existence." (Srimad Bhagavatam 11.18.25) Curious how kali-yuga plays tricks with the practical interpretation of sastra. In this case, any ISKCON vanaprasthas attempting to follow this classic instruction would quickly find themselves starving and diseased. Where is the program to give in charity to vanaprasthas? They will succumb quickly to weakness depending on charity form householders or ISKCON in these days. The vanaprasthas should be living in our temples and asramas, preaching and spearheading the harinama sankirtana movement! Instead, there is no widely organized facility, that I am aware of. If there is, it is not advertised much, or enough. The vanaprasthas must nowadays exist by grace of God and a bank account, other

Sannyasa, or Sans Us?

May 15, '07 CALGARY, CANADA — About a year ago, I wrote to HH Prahladananda Swami to receive an application for sannyasa. I received the application, but a vow of allegiance to the GBC was a main feature. I wrote back, saying that I couldn't sign such a vow, that I was dedicated to Prabhupada's Iskcon, not to some questionable GBC body. In response, he has refused to reply to my inquiries, and apparently also in what I perceive as a mood of political censorship, did not print an offering on my part to the Vaisnava health ministry publication about speech and language development among Iskcon infants, etc. despite saying he would do so before he received my denial of the GBC body as a body worthy of vowing one's sannyasa to. I am an audiologist by profession, and have a degree also in speech and language pathology, so I am well qualified. His change of mind and refusal to reply to me spoke volumes. Srila Prabhupada specifically told all of us brahmanas to take sannyasa in later years.

Jul 18, 06 — Haribol, Praghosa Prabhu; PAMHO. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada! Are you the Praghosa Prabhu that used to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras book distribution, back in about 1974-76? I travelled there with the Winnipeg brahmacaris, and used to follow you about on the streets, because you were so undeterred by Maya's face, and I took shelter of that determination and transcendence. To the point at hand; I suppose that having spent some time with Gour Govinda, I believe from observation as well as reading, that he is 100% Prabhupada's man, with no taste for self-aggrandizement at all. I tend to be protective of him, as he was definitely abused by our godbrothers back in the day, causing much hurt and disillusionment among literally thousands of respectable persons in Orissa. I practically had to force him to accept any glorification in the times before he was recognized more widely. I remember having a nice decorated cushion made for him to sit on when he gave class in Ori
