Welcome Rangoli

Previous centuries have robbed India of the unparalleled spiritual, moral and material wealth it was once known all over world for. Today She is synonymous with unemployment, hunger, dust, corruption and outsourcing. One of the main reasons for this has been neglect of spiritual principles, that were adorned by its saints, and saintly Kings in past.

Best Definition of God according to Vedas

Source In the Vedas, it is said, parasya saktir vividhaiva sruyate : “The varieties of energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are differently known." So let’s look at some of those varieties. First off, God is the personal aspect of The Absolute Truth which encompasses the Supreme controller, the living entities, the spiritual and material universes, time and activity. He is the original cause of all causes, an undifferentiated entity as there is no distinction between potency and the possessor thereof. He is the absolute substantive principle being the ultimate entity in the form of the support of all existence both natural and supernatural.

The Essence of the Srimad Bhagavatam

Source The essence of Srimad Bhagavatam is the essence of everything. It is the essence of all the Vedas, all philosophy, all knowledge, all theology, all religion, and all activity. This is not hyperbole it can be demonstrated. Let us accept that the Vedas contain all the relevant knowledge for mankind. But it is not well-known how little of the Vedas remain today.

How can we render service to Lord Krishna? With example.

Source The only service Krishna is interested in is service that is done with love and devotion. He is not in need of anything, but being a perfect ‘gentleman’ He appreciates anything done for Him with love. So step one is to develop our relationship with Krishna. Everything is based on this point of relationship.

Is Lord Krishna the answer to all questions?

Source Krishna is the Absolute Truth, The First Cause, The origin and maintainer of all that is manifest. As a result, all questions end with Krishna. Obviously there are many questions to which the answer is not directly ‘Lord Krishna’ but every line of questioning, if pursued to its end, will terminate with Lord Krishna simply because He is the Absolute Truth. Sometimes people are confused over how a person can be ‘The Truth’. They think ‘truth’ is an evaluation of a statement. “Are you telling the truth?” But, ‘The Truth’ means more than this, it means what is real as opposed to illusory, what is factual as opposed to false, what is substantial as opposed to imaginary. The Absolute Truth is real/factual/substantial at all times, in all places, under all circumstances. Any things that are temporary or imaginary are dependent on the Absolute Truth, because that is what is always real or true. Without something being absolutely real nothing can exist, so Krishna is that so...

Who is Shri Krishna? His Personality, Colour, the Absolute

Source Sri Krishna is the son of Mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja and the younger brother of Balarama. He is the boyfriend of Radharani and many other beautiful young girls who live in and around Vrindavan.

What is Bhakti Yoga?

Source: Krsna app Bhakti yoga is obviously a yoga process, so just a few words on what a yoga process is. Between us and the absolute truth is the material manifestation. It’s born of the modes of nature and contains the dualities of material life based on attachment and aversion with which we identify at every second. More importantly, it obscures the supreme reality from us. A yoga process is a way to neutralize the effects of the material manifestation so that we are connected or joined with the absolute truth again. The absolute truth, as it turns out, is full of ananda - bliss, and when we are connected or joined with it and the effects of the material manifestation are neutralized, we can share in that bliss, and give up the less interesting happiness and distress of material life. All the yoga processes contain a well-delineated series of actions that can be done with the mind and body, and rely on the individual’s proficiency in applying their process. Except for Bhak...
