Remembrance the service to the Guru that the devotees of the present family did and do. Bhakti makes people rejuvenate, everyone dances! Srila Gurudeva thanks Damodara Dasa Prabhu for the wonderful seva kirtanya he does. Bhagavan is where there is Harikatha, where devotees live and chant the Holy Names. Do not eat any animal, not even garlic and onion. The human body is very rare to be attained. The Bible says that God created man as His image and likeness. Tulasi Dasa says, “If someone says...

01 Apr 2025 Temples destroyed. Communities shattered (Hindi)
Temples destroyed. Communities shattered. Dharma is under attack. What’s happening to Hindus in Bangladesh is not just painful—it’s terrifying. The brutal atrocities there are a stark reminder: when Hindus abandon their Dharma, outsiders erase it. This isn’t just ancient history—it’s happening right now.
