Krishna Consciousness and Hinduism: To Preach or Not To Preach?

Sometimes, however, we hear the strange idea that this culture is not meant to be shared with others. I have heard more than one Western professor of Indian religion say, “The idea of ...Read More

Plea for Peace

At this strange time in history, although the world totters on the brink of colossal destruction and chaos, the vast majority of people go on as if the social structure and way of life they know will continue forever.
