On Saturday 30 July 2016 my wife, Vishnupriya devi dasi (affectionately know as Gurumata by my students) organized a visit to ISKCON Dallas (Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji Dhama) for the large group of my disciples who are presently our guests at ISKCON Austin. It was the most wonderful heart melting experience for me because almost 40 years ago I was living as a brahmacari monk in the service of the deity of Dallas, Sri Sri Radha Kalachandji. To stand before this amazingly beautiful deity of Krishna beholding His magnificent splendor literally brought tears to my eyes. Here is the amazing story of how this deity was discovered: At the outset of 1972 Srila Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of ISKCON, instructed two of his lady disciples, Kausalya devi dasi and Srimati devi dasi to travel to Jaipur, India to secure marble deities for his Denver, Detroit, Montreal and Dallas temples. Kausalya had been living in India for the last two years and Srimati, having just arrived in India, saw her as a per...

Oftentimes people are baffled in their attempt to understand which path they should follow. But the answer is very simple. In which scriptures has God most fully revealed Himself? In the Bible Jesus says that there is more knowledge that he has not revealed yet. But in the Bhagavad-gita 7.2 Krishna says, " jñānaṁ te 'haṁ sa-vijñānam idaṁ vakṣyāmy aśeṣataḥ yaj jñātvā neha bhūyo 'nyaj jñātavyam avaśiṣyate "I shall now declare unto you in full this knowledge, both phenomenal and numinous. This being known, nothing further shall remain for you to know." There are no scriptures in the world in which God is more fully revealed than in the Vedic wisdom. From the Vedas we learn about His names, His qualities, His pastimes, His abode, His associates, etc. No other scriptures give us such complete information. So considering this, it doesn't take half a brain to understand that one should obviously follow the path of the Vedas, which culminate in understanding the Su...
