I have my own deities of Radha-Krishna. I don't feel them as 'home deities' or like that word implies, but rather they are mine and I am theirs, with a kind of energy connection between me and them. It is not something I need to meditate in any special way about, it is there all the time. Sometimes ...

This is Radha-Madhava 20140616.131413.IMG_2289.JPG They have a story. Once when I walked on the streets of Sweden I saw money lying on the ground, and for some reason I said - this is Radha-Krishna paying for themselves, to come to Sweden. I immediately thought it silly, but still wondered why that ...

For a child, the parents is totally in power, can do anything they want with the child. But what do parents do with that absolute power of the life of the child? They tell the child to go and play in its own way, and then, if they are good parents, stay back and only watch to see that the play does ...

I wrote anything, since anyone is easily taken as someone else. I can only identify as myself, but who am I? There is an ongoing debate about that. One version is that we don't know, our permanent identity has not yet evolved, so life is an opportunity to try different identities to see how we like ...

This question touches exactly the same thing as taught by the followers of Caitanya. You define yourself by your conscious energy, and after death your identity is what you have defined yourself as during life. If you don't identify yourself as anything specific, your next body will give you an iden...

I have no controversy with anyone on this, so just please leave me out of it.

I see things differently than probably most others. I see things in a more kind of unity and global way. Many expect Prabhupada to be a kind of superman, a super-god, that could put everything in place. I rather see it like - what is his service to Krishna? And when that is figured out, the question...

Maybe I should not mix in to a discussion between you like this, but I just have to make a comment. When previous indian "vaisnavas" speak about the hare krishna mantra, they speak about the "mystic" realisation of the mantra. What is that? It is something different than I ever e...

Modern understanding of computer science should shed some light on what goes on in the brain. Today we have the common wide understanding of "computer program". What is a computer program? Somehow we acknowledge its existence, although we cannot touch it, we cannot see it, it does not have...

I just read this now, and it made me laugh. Why? When I read your description, Hari, I find that the fruit does not fall far from the tree. Although I am not a follower of you today, and you say that you don't even want followers, and I have a different philosophy, still I find that what you write i...

They see their heaven as a place where God is in love with Him/Her self and everyone else is there to serve that love affair. People might see like that, but the thought falls on its own absurdity. It would mean that we would be greater than God, since we can love someone else, but that God can onl...

Down through the years as other copies were repeatedly made, certain conventional modifications of the script would have taken place making some scholars think their origin was more recent. But in the case of the Bhagavat Puranas, the Sanskrit text still contained the archaic form of writing, verif...

The Vedic age is gone, and no one can bring it back. We also don't know very much about it. There is evidence that everything was not so wonderful as we would like to see it. There is a kind of romantisizing of it going on. Time is progressing and circumstances are changing. Still, we can benefit fr...

I would like to ask - what is "sin". It is a thing many speak about, but what is it actually? Does God write lawbooks of what we are allowed to do, and not to do, but then never show it, and then punish us for breaking laws, and reward us if we follow? A blessing of us attached to a materi...
