  • 12:3412:34, 4 January 2026 diff hist +6,627‎ N Modern Education Has No Information of the Spiritual World ‎ Created page with "The advancement of human civilization is often measured by material comfort and scientific achievement. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda identifies a fundamental flaw in this progress: a complete lack of knowledge regarding the eternal destination of the soul. Because '''modern education has no information of the spiritual world''', humanity remains trapped in the bodily concept of life, unaware that a peaceful, eternal existence awaits beyond the material covering. <div c..." current

  • 12:2212:22, 4 January 2026 diff hist +7,430‎ N A Devotee Is Also Called A Muni ‎ Created page with "In Vedic terminology, a ''muni'' is typically understood as a thoughtful sage or a philosopher who engages in mental speculation. The scriptures state, ''nāsau munir yasya mataṁ na bhinnam'': one is not considered a ''muni'' unless he puts forward a theory that differs from others. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda elevates this concept, explaining that a pure devotee is the actual ''muni''. While a materialist is thoughtful about improving material conditions, a devotee i..."
  • 12:1212:12, 4 January 2026 diff hist +5,605‎ N I Know My Spiritual Master As A Plenary Manifestation of the Lord ‎ Created page with "The relationship between the disciple and the spiritual master is the foundation of Vedic culture. It is not merely a social contract but a divine connection. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord Himself (''sākṣād-dharitvena''). This is not because the guru claims to be God, but because he is the confidential servitor of God who delivers the Lord's mercy. As Śrīla Prabhupāda states, "Although I know tha..."
  • 12:0712:07, 4 January 2026 diff hist +5,276‎ N Qualifications of A Bona Fide Monk ‎ Created page with "The term "monk" implies a life of dedication, austerity, and spiritual focus. In the Vedic tradition, this corresponds to the ''sannyāsa'' order of life. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that a genuine monk is not merely one who wears the dress, but one who strictly follows the Vedic principles and dedicates his life to preaching the message of God. Conversely, those who adopt the dress of a monk while maintaining material attachments and sinful habits are criticized as bog..." current
  • 12:0012:00, 4 January 2026 diff hist +7,293‎ N The Lord Is the Master of All Metaphysical Philosophy ‎ Created page with "Metaphysics is generally understood as the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space. In the context of Vedic knowledge, Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that while the Vedas cover all physical and metaphysical subjects, the ultimate goal of this inquiry is not dry speculation but the realization of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kṛṣṇa, being..." current
  • 11:5011:50, 4 January 2026 diff hist +7,706‎ N Knowledge Means to Know Matter, Spirit and the Controller of Both ‎ Created page with "In the darkness of ignorance, the conditioned soul identifies the self with the material body. This misconception is the root of all suffering. Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that true knowledge begins with the analytical study of the difference between the inert material energy and the conscious spiritual force. However, this knowledge finds its perfection only when one understands the source and controller of both energies—the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa..." current

  • 11:4211:42, 4 January 2026 diff hist +7,656‎ N Everything Material or Spiritual Is an Expansion of Kṛṣṇa's Energy ‎ Created page with "The cosmic manifestation is a complex interplay of energies, but the source of these energies is one: the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa. Śrīla Prabhupāda clarifies that the duality we perceive—between matter and spirit—exists primarily due to our forgetfulness of the Lord. In reality, everything is His energy. Whether in the material world or the spiritual world, Kṛṣṇa is the central enjoyer and the ultimate proprietor. A devotee who realizes t..."
  • 11:3411:34, 4 January 2026 diff hist +6,807‎ N Manu Is One of the Twelve Authorities on Vedic Knowledge ‎ Created page with "In the Vedic tradition, the path of spiritual perfection is not a matter of research or independent discovery. It is a path of following authority. Śrīla Prabhupāda frequently cites the ''dvādaśa-mahājana''—the twelve great authorities—as the standard-bearers of religious principles. Among these exalted personalities, Manu holds a significant position as the father of mankind and a primary teacher of ''dharma''. To understand the Absolute Truth and the proper c..." current
  • 11:1611:16, 4 January 2026 diff hist +6,216‎ N Making Spiritual Progress within Family Life ‎ Created page with "It is a common misconception that one must renounce the world and retire to the forest to achieve self-realization. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda teaches that the home itself can be a powerful center for making spiritual progress if managed according to Vedic principles. The institution of ''gṛhastha'' (householder) life is scientifically designed to allow men and women to cooperate peacefully, utilizing their natural propensities to help one another advance toward the..." current
  • 11:1011:10, 4 January 2026 diff hist +6,977‎ N Whatever Spiritual Progress One Makes Is Tested at Death ‎ Created page with "We may make a show of religion or claim to be advanced, but the reality of our spiritual standing is revealed at the end of life. Śrīla Prabhupāda reminds us that "whatever spiritual progress one makes in life will be tested at the time of death." To prepare for this final exam, the human form of life must be utilized for consistent, disciplined cultivation of Kṛṣṇa consciousness under the guidance of a bona fide authority. <div class="toc-right">__TOC__</div>..." current
  • 11:0211:02, 4 January 2026 diff hist +8,144‎ N By the Mercy of the Spiritual Master One Can Make Spiritual Advancement ‎ Created page with "The path of spiritual realization is often compared to a razor's edge—difficult to traverse without proper guidance. Śrīla Prabhupāda repeatedly stresses that independent study or mental speculation is insufficient for understanding the Absolute Truth. The essential key to making spiritual advancement is the mercy of the spiritual master. By pleasing the representative of God through submission and service, the disciple automatically pleases the Supreme Lord and cle..." current
  • 10:5410:54, 4 January 2026 diff hist +7,897‎ N Essential Principles for Making Advancement in Spiritual Life ‎ Created page with "Advancement in spiritual life is the goal of the human form of existence, but it requires a deliberate shift from material consciousness to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this shift is achieved through a combination of internal discipline and external practice. By controlling the senses, following the orders of the spiritual master, and engaging in the nine processes of devotional service, one can rapidly cross the ocean of nescience. <div..." current
