  • 16:1616:16, 11 December 2025 diff hist +7,574‎ N Spiritualizing the Body, Mind and Intelligence for Liberation ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> The Vedic wisdom imparted by Srila Prabhupada clarifies the fundamental distinction between the self and its coverings. The living entity is entrapped by two layers of material energy: the gross body made of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, and the subtle body composed of mind, intelligence, and false ego. While modern science focuses primarily on the gross anatomical structure, the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness reveals th..."

However, Srila Prabhupada presents the Vedic conclusion: the universe began with supreme intelligence. Lord Brahmā, the first created being, is not a product of gradual biological evolution but is the most intelligent personality within the universe, specifically empowered to engineer the cosmic manifestation. His..."
  • 16:1316:13, 11 December 2025 diff hist +5,735‎ N The Creative Potency of Brahma's Mind ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> In the material world, the mind is generally understood as a subtle instrument for thinking, feeling, and willing. However, for Lord Brahmā, the first created being, the mind serves as a powerful engine of creation itself. Srila Prabhupada reveals through Vedic evidence that Brahmā's mind is not merely a psychological workspace but a source of tangible manifestation. Yet, despite this immense potency, the texts also highlight that..."
  • 16:1016:10, 11 December 2025 diff hist +6,161‎ N Brainwashing or Brain-giving ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> During the rapid expansion of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement in the 1970s, Srila Prabhupada faced a barrage of criticism from parents, media, and "deprogrammers" who claimed he was "brainwashing" the youth of America. Rather than shrinking from the accusation, Prabhupada met it with characteristic wit and philosophical depth. He acknowledged the term but redefined it entirely, arguing that if the brain is filled with dirty things, it..."
  • 16:0916:09, 11 December 2025 diff hist +5,864‎ N The Dangers of Riding the Chariot of the Mind ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> In the material world, the living entity is often described as a passenger on a perilous journey. Srila Prabhupada frequently invokes the powerful Vedic metaphor of the mano-ratha, or the "chariot of the mind." Just as a passenger in a vehicle is at the mercy of the driver, the conditioned soul is often at the mercy of an uncontrolled mind. This article explores Srila Prabhupada's warnings about the dangers of riding this mental cha..."

  • 16:0816:08, 11 December 2025 diff hist +6,049‎ N Cleaning Dirty Things from the Mirror of the Mind ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> _TOC_ </div> The fundamental problem of material existence is a case of mistaken identity, caused by a contaminated mind. Srila Prabhupada frequently employs the metaphor of a mirror covered in dust. Just as one cannot see their reflection in a dirty mirror, the living entity cannot see their true spiritual nature when the mind is covered by the dust of material desires. This article explores the Vedic science of "mind cleaning"—how to remove th..."
  • 16:0716:07, 11 December 2025 diff hist +6,015‎ N Cleansing the Mirror of the Mind ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> The human mind is the central hub of our experience, yet for most, it is a source of confusion and anxiety. Srila Prabhupada offers a powerful metaphor to explain this predicament: the mind is like a mirror. When a mirror is covered with thick layers of dust, it provides no reflection. Similarly, when the mind is covered by material contamination, the living entity cannot see his true self. The process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness i..."
  • 16:0616:06, 11 December 2025 diff hist +6,558‎ N Spiritual Truth and Common Sense ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> Srila Prabhupada had a unique ability to present profound spiritual truths not as mystical dogmas, but as matters of simple, undeniable logic. He frequently appealed to "common sense" to cut through the skepticism of the modern mind. By drawing parallels between everyday experiences—like driving a car or observing a garden—and cosmic realities, he demonstrated that the existence of God, the soul, and the laws of karma are not ju..."
  • 16:0516:05, 11 December 2025 diff hist +5,920‎ N The Art of Concentrating the Mind on God ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> The human mind is naturally restless, constantly flickering between different thoughts and desires. Srila Prabhupada explains that the perfection of human life—and the goal of all spiritual practices—is to stabilize this flickering mind by fixing it upon the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Whether through the mechanical processes of ancient yoga or the devotional practices of the modern age, the essential principle remains the s..."
  • 16:0316:03, 11 December 2025 diff hist +6,137‎ N Krsna Attracts the Mind of All ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> The mind is constantly searching for pleasure, beauty, and love. In the material world, this search is directed toward temporary objects, but the satisfaction remains fleeting. Srila Prabhupada explains that the ultimate object of the mind's search is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. His name literally means "All-Attractive." Kṛṣṇa possesses such unlimited beauty and sweetness that He captures the minds of ever..."
  • 11:1511:15, 11 December 2025 diff hist +5,213‎ N One Who Has Life - The Preaching Revolution of Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati ‎ Created page with "<div class="toc-right"> __TOC__ </div> On the disappearance day of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, we honor him not only as a pure devotee but as a revolutionary strategist in the Lord’s army. Before his appearance, the common conception of a "saint" was someone who retired to a holy place to meditate in solitude. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta shattered this mold. He taught that real devotion means going into the fire of the material world to save others...."

However, in this intimate collection of letters, Śrīla Prabhupāda reveals a profound reciprocity. As his physical health declined, he discovered a new source of energy—not from medicine, but from the sincerity of his "spiritual children." === "That Is My Strength" === Śrīla Prabhupāda made a start..."

For some, this voice is a source of inspiration and guidance. For others, it is a source of anxiety, lust, and confusion. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that the mind is the central figure in the drama of our life. It has the power to take us to the spiritual world, or to drag us down to hell. The difference lies entirely in how we train it. === The Duality of the Mind ==..."

In the Vedic scriptures, the mind is described as the driving instrument of the body. If it is uncontrolled, it leads the soul into the darkest regions of material existence. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that we cannot remain passive; we must actively take charge of the mind, or it will take charge of us. === Harder Than the Wind === Śrīla Prabhupāda often cites th..."
