Finding out About Our Past Lives?
How does one find out what one was in their past life? I have been very curious about this. I sometimes have powerful feelings towards Napoleon.

A Society Based On Literature Distribution
I was recently invited to visit the Australian headquarters of the Jehovah's Witnesses. It's a large complex in Sydney with about 270 people living on the site.

Why Doesn't God Just Appear so we Can See Him?
Why is it that God does not just manifest Himself? Wouldn't that end all the disbelief in the Lord? Wouldn't that end atheism completely? I am trying to comprehend this matter Wouldn't it be a billion times easier for everyone from devotee to doubter if the Lord just manifested himself today before us all? I am very confused on this matter. I am a believer from faith but am still confused. Your friend, Tom (Letter from Madhudvisa dasa)

LOVE--Perverted And Pure
In a water tank you throw one stone. It becomes a circle. And the circle expands, expands, expands unless the circle comes to the shore. Similarly our loving affair begins from personal self to family, from family to society, community, nation, international. But still, it is imperfect unless the circle reaches to the lotus feet of God. Then it is satisfied. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

It was 1984 and after distributing books at the State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida. We had parked in a Days Inn parking lot for the night.

The Order of Caitanya Mahaprabhu- You Must Propagate Krishna Consciousness!

Is Modern Civilization An Example Of Virtue?
"In the office of [Columbia President] Kirk some students...broke into his stock of liquor and cigars..." But are they really to blame for imitating their seniors? If the foremost person of such a great university is engaged in smoking and drinking, it is hardly to be wondered at that his students tend toward licentiousness and disrespect. A teacher ought to be a paragon of the virtues he extolls, or at least ardent in his efforts. (And, what's more, he ought to be extolling virtue... (Article by Back to Godhead Magazine)

Questions & Answers With Srila Prabhupada
Dear Swami Bhaktivedanta,
I've read that your Krishna Consciousness is a non-sectarian science of the soul. How is it, then, that you follow some particular concept of God- Krishna rather than a more universal concept, such as the One, or the All-Pervading Light? (Letter from Srila Prabhupada)

Prabhupada Speaks At Harvard University
So this Krsna consciousness movement is not any sectarian movement. It is practically postgraduate movement of all religion. Any religion, they have got some idea of God.

Not By Chance- There Is A Plan
Just like in the airport, as soon as I step on the door it becomes opened. It is not chance. A child will see it is a chance: "Oh, how it is? I wanted to go and the door is already open." He takes it a chance. That is poor fund of knowledge. There is arrangement, nice arrangement, electrical arrangement. So to a poor fund of knowledge it becomes a chance, and to the sober mind it is not chance; it is arranged by higher authority. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)

Faith- You Can Find It In Everyday Life
I cited the other day, just like we go to a barber shop, and we spread our neck, and the barber has got a sharp razor in his hand. If he likes, he can at once cut my throat. He has got the weapon ready. But because I have got faith he'll not do it- he'll simply shave my beard or mustaches... So this faith is required in every activity. Without faith we cannot step forward even in our daily life. (Article by Srila Prabhupada)
