How Can Kali Destroy ISKCON
We have heard it all about how Kali entered ISKCON. Here is a detailed, crystal-clear analysis from my good friend. Remember, where there is a disease, there is a cure, which Srila Prabhupada prescribed : “Your love for me will be shown by how you cooperate with one another.” and all its auxiliaries. And don't say that because it's AI, it is not valid. Then stay ignorant. Note this. AI gives solid, substantial research of available sources and spits out realized instructions

The Driver Who Was Not Afraid to Die
Recently, I was assigned an elderly driver, nearly eighty years old. Right away, he started saying that he never uses a seat belt. Not in the city. Not on the freeway. Not ever. I asked him why. He said calmly, “I haven’t worn one for forty years. I can’t get used to it.” So I asked what seemed obvious: “Aren’t you afraid of a crash?” He looked at me seriously and replied, “I would rather die than live mutilated for the rest of my life.” Then he added, almost matter-of-factly

Prasādam vs. Mahā-prasādam A Gradation For Fools
What Neophytes Get Excited About In ISKCON and the broader Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava world, devotees often hear two terms used almost interchangeably: prasādam and mahā-prasādam . At times, the distinction is overstressed; at other times, it is dismissed as irrelevant. To understand this properly, we must look at what Śrīla A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura actually taught—rather than what later habits, sentimentalism, or cultural accreti

Devotees, Diet, and the Great Onion And Schnapps Drama
Let’s talk about the underground devotee debate of eating garlic, onions, fish, eggs, and having caffeine and alcohol drinks. Or as it’s sometimes framed: “Can you even spell bhakti if you drink coffee?” Relax. Breathe. Put the pitchfork down. This article is not here to police plates or sniff lunchboxes. It’s here to explain the why, poke gentle fun at our collective seriousness, and—most importantly—bring the focus back to bhakti , where it belongs. Why These Foods Get a

Fallacy of Promis “Meeting Kṛṣṇa” Through Chanting
Alongside premature discussions of Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa’s intimate līlās, another increasingly common tendency is the casual invitation to “meet Kṛṣṇa,” "feel Kṛṣṇa," “see Kṛṣṇa,” or “experience Kṛṣṇa directly” through chanting the Mahāmantra—often addressed to beginners or mixed public audiences. Rather than chanting, it becomes cheating. At first glance, this sounds inspiring. After all, the Holy Name is non-different from Kṛṣṇa. But when this truth is presented without qualificatio
