Dallas Morning News,
Each week we will post a question to a panel of about two dozen clergy, laity and theologians, all of whom are based in Texas or are from Texas. They will chime in with their responses to the question of the week. And you, readers, will be able to respond to their answers through the comment box.
For three days, members of a Senate committee pressed Sonia Sotomayor on her view of the law and how individual experience affects judicial decisions. And for three days,...
On our journey toward Krishna it would be so very helpful if, while we live, study, work and interact with others, we bring more of who we really are spiritually into our human life. It is possible if we practice and really believe this is who we truly are. I will share some simple practices which I have found helpful.
Although from one perspective we are only tiny, insignificant beings in relationship to our unlimited Source, Shri Krishna. From another understanding we are so much more...
My dear Śrīla Prabhupāda, Please accept my most fallen dandavats at your feet. For twelve extraordinary years you crossed and re-crossed the world, sowing the seeds of love of Krishna. Who can actually know the extent of your work? Wherever … Continue reading →

Just ask those of us in the newspaper world, where we wonder if enough young people will turn to papers or some other version of what we produce....
Last year I wrote this blog, New looks, lots of books and a new haircut
about distributing the new BBT books at the Warped Tour. Here are some photos from this years distribution.
This one is Bhaktin Angela with some band from the tour. They told us that they got some books at a previous show as well.
These girls said, "I course we know yoga stuff, we're Asian!"
You can see the great Anandavidya Prabhu on the left side distributing a book to someone as well.
And here some more...
The rains, flowers, seasons,
our physical lives and dreams
come and go like the waves—
devotees are blessed to see
everything in perspective
the knowledge of all Truths
the real spiritual Mauna
of service to Krishna.....

A dry day and a half
ground cracking, thirsty
a forecast of rain
then clouds joyfully come.
Forest trees
and animals celebrate
the first smell of rain

How did this happen? Two weeks in Montgomery, Texas, alleged “birthplace of the Texas flag!” In June! How did I end up here! Yet not untypical, somehow, of the crowd of unexpected events that render the adventure of spiritual life … Continue reading →

Subtle and Super Subtle
The Subtle and Super Subtle corporeal energies are very fascinating, sometimes awe inspiring.
I think the first one gives a good example of the extent of our innate programming. I read many years ago of these two researchers doing work on human metabolic chemical synthesis in order to understand...
I gleaned a deeper understanding from a feeling I sometimes think about: “I hate the material world”. I said this as I observed a trail of ants coming into the kitchen, knowing that I would have to spray and kill them to avoid being infested with a huge army of their hungry brethren. I really don’t like killing anything—not even gardening because I have to pull weeds and fight off the bugs to prevent them from eating the flowers and veggies.
