Pesky weeds popping up in your yard? Here’s what to not reach for—Roundup. While glyphosate, the active ingredient in America’s favorite weedkiller, Roundup, has been marketed as “safe” and even “biodegradable,” the science is pouring in, and, well, the results are gross.

1. You’re eating it—in “excessive” levels. The majority of glyphosate dumped onto American land each year isn’t in yards—it’s on your food crops. The most popular genetically engineered (GE) crops planted on millions of U.S. acres each year are designed to withstand heavy dousing of glyphosate. Chemical companies are making a killing on this, since they produce both the unnatural GE seed and the chemical that needs to be used on those seeds. But glyphosate is a systemic chemical, meaning it’s taken up inside of the plants that we—and farm animals—eat. This spring, Norwegian scientists studying U.S. soy found “excessive” levels of glyphosate inside

The appearance anniversary of Ganga Devi, the goddess of the River Ganges.

This is literally the "birthday or descent of mother Ganges – Ganga Ma". Throughout india this festival lasts ten days beginning on the Amavasya (dark moon night) and going through to the dasami tithi (tenth phase of the Moon, the day before Pandava Nirjal Ekadasi)

"Festivals connected with rivers are essentially bathing festivals. Ganga Dussehra is celebrated on the tenth day of Jyeshtha. River Ganga is worshipped as a mother as well as a Goddess, particularly by people of Uttara Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal through which the river flows. On this day, if a devotee is unable to visit and bathe in the river Ganga, then Ganga jal (water) kept in most Hindu homes is used for purification. A bath in the river is said to purify the bather of all sins. The Ganga is revered all over India even in places far from its course.

Initially, river Ganga flowed in the heavens. She was brought down to earth by the severe penances of

BG 6.30: For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me.
BG 7.6: All created beings have their source in these two natures. Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution.
BG 7.7: O conqueror of wealth, there is no truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread.
BG 7.8: O son of Kunti, I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and the moon, the syllable om´ in the Vedic mantras; I am the sound in ether and ability in man.
BG 7.9: I am the original fragrance of the earth, and I am the heat in fire. I am the life of all that lives, and I am the penances of all ascetics.
BG 7.10: O son of Prtha, know that I am the original seed of all existences, the intelligence of the intelligent, and the prowess of all powerful men.

The atrocity of close to 800 emaciated childrens’ bodies buried in a Irish Nuns’ septic tank represented the 34th child mass grave site linked this week to the Catholic Church. Pope Francis was being prosecuted by the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ) in Brussels for allegedly trafficking 300,000 children of political prisoners through Vatican Catholic Charities during Argentine’s Dirty War. According to witness testimony last week some of those orphans ended up in a child mass grave site in Spain. Last year’s ICLCJ prosecution concerned 50,000 missing native Canadian children. There have been 32 child mass grave sites uncovered so far in Canada, most of them on Catholic-run native residential school grounds.
 
Unfortunately the over 350,800 children suspected to be in Catholic child mass graves sites in three countries paled in number to Catholic Priest sex abuse victims across the globe. As of November 2013 over ten million Catholic Priest child sex abuse cases have

Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 1, Ch. 17, Text 38, Purport.

     "Gambling of all descriptions, EVEN SPECULATIVE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, is considered to be degrading, and when gambling is encouraged in the state, there is a complete disappearance of truthfulness."  -  HDG A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada

    My emphasis.   This is an area which we don't find emphasized frequently.  It is actually pretty easy to avoid gambling in its most obvious forms, but the teaching is actually a bit more comprehensive if we unpack the finer points.  And it is clear that speculation was one of the most important factors in both the Great Depression and the recent worldwide Great Recession, which isn't even over completely.  Lately the world's economy has been subject to these "bubbles."  Many of you can remember the tech bubble of the early 2000s, when money was being thrown around to any p

"Once there were three Yogis sitting by a nearby Lake. Two yogis were older and more experienced, but a third was younger and unsure of himself. The first older Yogi realized he forgot his meditation cushion. So he got up and walked across the lake to the Ashram across the shore, then walked backed, again upon the water, then sat back down and meditated. The second older Yogi realized that he forgot his mala beads, then did the same thing – walked on the water to the Ashram, then back, then sat down and resumed his meditation.

The third, younger yogi, then said “I am not going to just sit here watching you two show off. If you can walk on the water, so can I!
So, he jumped up and walked toward the lake, them promptly sank into the water, as the 2 older yogis watched. Undeterred, he then got a running start into the lake, but again promptly sank in the waves. After several more tries like this the first older yogi turned to the second one and said “Do you think we should tell him where t

Temporary Material Meat-pistol, OR ;

Eternal Spiritual Beauty

The temporary body made of meat only lasts so long, then the system degrades, we collapse and die, or rather the body does...! The self is a superior energy that does not degrade or decay... that is who WE really are!

The superior spiritual energy is complete and fully satisfying to spirits, while the material world is always disappointing at best, as death comes and all is apparently lost once again. Those who are wise are not bewildered by these facts, but act in such a way as to ensure a spiritual awakening to eternal satisfying life, once again.

Editor; So long as souls accept the temporary material body as the self, there will be greed and prejudice. When that greed goes too far, there will be severe repercussions, as it goes against the grain of God's intended goodness for all...

The self is inclined to search after happiness, it is natural to see. The Supreme Being is by nature Self-satisfied, and as His part and parcels, it is our Nature to be satisfied in this Supreme Nature, that is the real and eternal "me".

This is a time for examination of the roots of this Nature in it's season, within our heart, for Truth to reveal Itself, beyond mere logic or linear reason.

And now is our time to reflect. Brain-numbing authoritarianism we reject, yes-men get not our respect. But, Beauteous Truth, Heavenly Lovers, yes, we accept!

Krishna creates many deep and sublime scenes of great beauty and peace and even great joy. He wishes to share with us, and has created us to share our wonder, and perhaps even our love, with Him, Sri Krishna, the cowherd boy.

Krsna consciousness is the culmination of this soul-searching, and the intricacies and practical applications are elaborated by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krsna !

Srila Prabhupada: “Somebody was criticizing me that “Swamiji, you are introducing this Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. People are becoming coward. They simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa.” So I replied that “You will see the power of Hare Kṛṣṇa movement in due course of time.” He required… Because there were two battles in India: the battle between Rāvaṇa and Rāma, Rāma-Rāvaṇa, the battle of Rāmāyaṇa; and another battle was Battle of Kurukṣetra. And in these two battles the hero was Vaiṣṇava and Viṣṇu. In the Rāma-Rāvaṇa battle Lord Rāmacandra was there and His devotee Hanumān, Vajrāṅgajī. Similarly, in the Battlefield of Kurukṣetra, Kṛṣṇa was there and His devotee Arjuna was there. So Vaiṣṇavas, they do not simply chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. If there is need, they can fight under the guidance of Viṣṇu and become victorious. A Vaiṣṇava’s one qualification is… Out of the twenty-six qualifications, one qualification is dakṣa,expert. If there is need of fighting, they can fight like very expert. That is also needed

Since the new year, eight more cities and regions in Canada, Australia and The United States have no to fluoridating water supplies. Most developed nations, including the vast majority of western Europe, do not fluoridate their drinking water. Since health authorities in North America have refused to let go of the fluoridation paradigm, local communities are doing the work for them. Since 2010, over 70 communities have rejected the practice and the world is finally becoming aware of the dangers of poisoning drinking water with this toxic chemical.
