THE VEDAS STATE EARTH is Spheroid
Indra Lal ▪ Aitareya Brahmana (3.44)
The Sun does never set nor rise. When people think the Sun is setting it is not so. For after having arrived at the end of the day it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making night to what is below and day to what is on the other side having reached the end of the night, it makes itself produce two opposite effects, making day to what is below and night to what is on the other side. In fact, the Sun never sets.

▪ Shape of Earth is like an Oblate Spheroid. (Rig Veda XXX. IV.V).

▪ Earth is flattened at the poles (Markandeya Purana 54.12).

▪ Bhagavatam 5.21.8-9 : People living in countries at points diametrically opposite to where the sun is first seen rising,will see sun setting and if a straight line were drawn from the point where the sun is at midway,then people in countries at the opposite end ofthe line would be experiencing midnight and vice versa.

Taking Responsibility
Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhardev Goswami Maharaja

Who is responsible if you look to see injustice? You are held responsible. What is bad, that is your share. You are to take the whole responsibility of misdeed in your hand. If you cannot feel this then you are insincere, and this is true for everyone. Your free will is responsible for all misdeeds and misguided circumstances in the environment. This is the first principle of spiritual life.

REAL INDEPENDENCE IS TO BE REINSTATED IN THE SERVICE OF THE LORD. ANYONE WHO GOES TO THE VAIKUNTHA PLANETS OR GOLOKA VRINDAVAN PLANET IS FREELY OFFERING HIS SERVICE TO THE LORD. THAT IS COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE. JUST CONTRARY TO THIS IS MATERIAL OVERLORDSHIP, WHICH WE WRONGLY TAKE TO BE INDEPENDENCE. MANY GREAT POLITICAL LEADERS HAVE TRIED TO ESTABLISH INDEPENDENCE, BUT DUE TO SUCH SO-CALLED INDEPENDENCE, THE PEOPLE’S DEPENDENCE HAS ONLY INCREASED. THE LIVING ENTITY CANNOT BE HAPPY TRYING TO BE INDEPENDENT IN THE MATERIAL WORLD. ONE HAS TO SURRENDER, THEREFORE, UNTO THE LOTUS FEET OF THE LORD AND ENGAGE IN HIS ORIGINAL, ETERNAL SERVICE. *(SRIMAD BHAGAVATAM 4.9.35 PURPORT)*

GOD HAS GIVEN INDEPENDENCE TO EVERYONE; THEREFORE, IF A PERSON DESIRES TO HAVE MATERIAL ENJOYMENT AND WANTS VERY SINCERELY TO HAVE SUCH FACILITIES FROM THE MATERIAL DEMIGODS, THE SUPREME LORD, AS SUPERSOUL IN EVERYONE’S HEART, UNDERSTANDS AND GIVES FACILITIES TO SUCH PERSONS. AS THE SUPREME FATHER OF ALL LIVING ENTITIE

Basudeba Mishra said; " Bha is not Bhava. It means radiation. Ra is not Raga. It means motion. Ta is not Tala. It means cessation. There is no text that supports the definition given in this video. But we know the definition of Bharata as Bha Rata - since the days of Gita (येन त्वया भारत तैलपूर्ण प्रज्वलित ज्ञानमय प्रदीपः) - the land of continuous illumination that teaches the world. Some self-proclaimed Shadguru can distort our scriptures only."

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.24.12 Translation:
Lord Brahmā said: My dear son Kardama, since you have completely accepted my instructions without duplicity, showing them proper respect, you have worshiped me properly. Whatever instructions you took from me you have carried out, and thereby you have honored me.
Purport:
Lord Brahmā, as the first living entity within the universe, is supposed to be the spiritual master of everyone, and he is also the father, the creator, of all beings. Kardama Muni is one of the Prajāpatis, or creators of the living entities, and he is also a son of Brahmā. Brahmā praises Kardama because he carried out the orders of the spiritual master in toto and without cheating. A conditioned soul in the material world has the disqualification of cheating. He has four disqualifications: he is sure to commit mistakes, he is sure to be illusioned, he is prone to cheat others, and his senses are imperfect. But if one carries out the order of the spiritual master by disciplic suc

Preparing the new samadhi site in the Smrti-mandira

There will be 24 hours kirtan and fire yajña prior to commencing digging. The samadhi will be covered during transfer to the Smṛti-mandira, so that no one will see anything.
