  • 06:1306:13, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,886‎ N Character Transformation of One Who Becomes Kṛṣṇa Conscious ‎ Created page with "The process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not merely a ritualistic practice but a total alchemical change of the human character. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that when a person becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious, they undergo a profound transformation—from fearful to fearless, from envious to broad-minded, and from materially anxious to spiritually poised. This article explores the specific symptoms of this change, illustrating how the awakening of spiritual consciousnes..."
  • 06:0706:07, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,978‎ N Process and Perfection of Becoming Kṛṣṇa Conscious ‎ Created page with "The human form of life is a unique intersection where the soul has the capacity to inquire into the Absolute Truth. While animals are bound by the instincts of survival, human beings are gifted with the intelligence to solve the ultimate problems of existence. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious is the specific function of this rare birth. It is the only scientific method to attain permanent happiness and escape the inevitable miseries of mat..."
  • 06:0006:00, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,253‎ N Becoming Jubilant in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness ‎ Created page with "In the material world, happiness is often temporary and mixed with distress, but the spiritual nature is characterized by unadulterated jubilation. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the living entity is constitutionally full of bliss, yet this nature is covered by material identification. When the soul reconnects with its source through Kṛṣṇa consciousness, this dormant jubilation is revived. Whether through the quiet relief of self-realization or the ecstatic danci..."
  • 05:5505:55, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,515‎ N Becoming Joyful through Self-Realization ‎ Created page with "Every living entity is constitutionally full of bliss, yet in the material world, this natural joy is covered by the struggle for existence. We constantly endeavor to be happy, but true happiness remains elusive as long as we are identified with the temporary body. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that authentic joy is not a product of external circumstances but the immediate symptom of self-realization. When the soul wakes up to its eternal nature, it enters a state of freed..."
  • 05:4905:49, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,207‎ N Consequences of Society Becoming Irreligious ‎ Created page with "Religion is the defining characteristic that separates human society from the animal kingdom. When a civilization abandons the laws of God in the name of secularism or modern advancement, it does not become free; it becomes chaotic. Śrīla Prabhupāda warns that a society without God consciousness descends into animalism, creating an unbearable burden on the earth that inevitably invites the severe punishment of material nature. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div> ==..."
  • 05:4105:41, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,761‎ N How the Soul Becomes Involved in the Laws of Nature ‎ Created page with "Every action performed in the material world generates a reaction, binding the performer to a complex web of consequences. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the living entity, although originally free, becomes involved in the stringent laws of nature through whimsical action and the misuse of independence. Driven by the modes of passion and ignorance, the soul attempts to exploit material resources for personal enjoyment, only to find themselves increasingly entangled in..."
  • 05:3105:31, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,568‎ N Becoming Interested in the Supreme Absolute Truth ‎ Created page with "This article defines the true objective of human life as the cultivation of interest in spiritual reality. Śrīla Prabhupāda contrasts the misguided interests of modern civilization—focused on temporary bodily comforts and political affairs—with the eternal necessity of self-realization. A sane human being must graduate from animalistic propensities and become interested in inquiring about the Absolute Truth, utilizing the rare human form to solve the ultimate prob..."
  • 05:2505:25, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,203‎ N How to Become Intelligent in Kṛṣṇa Consciousness ‎ Created page with "This article explores the distinction between material cunning and spiritual wisdom as presented by Śrīla Prabhupāda. While modern civilization equates intelligence with academic degrees and technological advancement, Vedic philosophy defines it as the awakening of spiritual inquiry. The text examines how true intelligence is manifested through the worship of Lord Kṛṣṇa and warns against the spiritual danger of becoming "over-intelligent" through mental speculat..."
  • 05:1705:17, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,282‎ N How Material Existence Becomes Insignificant through Devotion ‎ Created page with "This article explores the transformative power of devotional service, which renders the formidable obstacles of the material world negligible. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that by taking shelter of the Supreme Lord, the vast ocean of birth and death shrinks to the size of a calf's hoofprint. The text further illuminates how deep-rooted material desires, including the attraction to sex life and the pursuit of impersonal liberation, naturally fade into insignificance when..."
  • 05:0905:09, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,937‎ N Process and Qualifications for Becoming Initiated ‎ Created page with "This article examines the spiritual milestones and strict requirements necessary for becoming initiated into the line of disciplic succession. Śrīla Prabhupāda emphasizes that initiation is a serious vow that follows a natural progression of faith and association. The text details the mandatory purification process—known as ''tapasya''—and the ultimate acceptance of the spiritual master's shelter, which formally begins one's education in devotional service. <div..."
  • 05:0405:04, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,113‎ N Causes and Consequences of Becoming Implicated in Material Life ‎ Created page with "This article explores the spiritual dynamics of how a living entity becomes entangled in the material world. Śrīla Prabhupāda warns that through the misuse of independence and the pursuit of temporary sense gratification, the soul binds itself to the rigid laws of nature. The text examines specific actions that accelerate this implication, such as sinful habits and ignorance, and outlines the inevitable suffering that follows, ultimately pointing toward the path of li..."
  • 04:4304:43, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,760‎ N Aim of Human Life Is to Become Immortal ‎ Created page with "The drive for self-preservation is the strongest instinct in every living being. We do not want to die. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this desire exists because we are, in fact, eternal spirit souls. However, due to illusion, we try to fulfill this desire for immortality in the wrong place—the material world. Throughout history, demons, scientists, and ''yogis'' have tried to manufacture a way to keep the material body alive forever, but they have all failed. In th..."
  • 04:3604:36, 18 January 2026 diff hist +7,184‎ N The Conditioned Soul Is Sure to Become Illusioned ‎ Created page with "In the material world, we often pride ourselves on our knowledge, scientific advancement, and intellectual capacity. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda consistently points out a fundamental flaw in the human condition: we are conditioned souls, and therefore we are subject to four unchangeable defects. One of the most significant of these is the tendency to become Illusioned. Illusion means accepting something to be what it is not—like a thirsty animal mistaking a mirage for..."
  • 04:2204:22, 18 January 2026 diff hist +6,901‎ N We Must All Become Ideal in Our Character ‎ Created page with "The world is full of advice but devoid of practical examples. Politicians, philosophers, and social leaders speak eloquently about peace and morality, but their private lives are often filled with the same vices they condemn. Śrīla Prabhupāda identified this hypocrisy as the root cause of social degradation. He taught that for society to be happy, there must be a class of men who are truly Ideal—men of stainless character, self-control, and wisdom. In these quotes,..."
  • 04:1304:13, 18 January 2026 diff hist +8,047‎ N Why the World Is Becoming Hellish ‎ Created page with "We often look at the chaos in modern society—crime, corruption, violence, and anxiety—and wonder how things got this bad. Śrīla Prabhupāda offers a precise, scriptural diagnosis: the world is becoming hellish because of the unchecked increase of ''varṇa-saṅkara'', or unwanted population. In Vedic culture, the stability of society depends on the purity of the population. When children are begotten out of lust rather than duty, and when they are raised without s..."
