Bhagavad-gita As It Is, one of the most respected holy scriptures of the world today, is under the threat of being banned in Russia. The court proceedings will resume in Siberian city Tomsk, Russia, on Monday 19th. The persecutors in Tomsk suggest that the widely distributed book translated and commented upon by A. C.

In 2002, I got an opportunity to visit Manipur along with Radhanath Swami.
A three-day conference on Science and Religion was held there, at the end of which the Governor invited all delegates for a get-together. As Radhanath Swami and I walked in the beautiful lawns outside the venue,

As I was sweating over to enter into post graduate school, little did I know what was awaiting me there. My post graduation in Orthopedics turned into a nightmare, as I failed to clear my exams, year after year. That nightmare seemed to me endless until some angels began to tread in out of the blue. Some medico friends, my pals on the bhakti path, whom I had known for years, suddenly started to take on extreme inconveniences just to help me with my studies. Finally, with their help I cleared.
Years later, I discovered the conspiracy behind the sudden turn of events that lead to my unforgettable escape out of Post Graduate School. Radhanath Swami, seeing me high-strung, had called for a meeting of all my medico friends. The agenda was to rough out an escape route for me, to help me clear my exams.
We live in a world where most people plot harm from behind and put up a friendly façade in the front. Some do a little good, but balloon that up. But here I lived in a rare family atmosphere where a lot of good was plotted from behind the backs.

Stories from Radhagopinath Community of Love
What’s really impressive about the Radha Gopinath Temple is its non-fanatic spiritual community. I am a follower of a spiritual path with spiritual practices different from those followed by the community. Yet, in the past twelve years, though I pay daily visits to the temple, never have I come across anyone there with a condescending attitude towards me. They respect me for what I am.
And Radhanath Swami, their leader, goes a step ahead: he loves me for what I am. In his own words, “Rajeev, even if you ever leave me, I will never leave you.”
Srila Prabhupada
