Lord Vishnu


"Lord Vishnu is just like a great tree, and all others, including the demigods, men, Siddhas, Caranas, Vidyadharas and other living entities, are like branches, twigs and leaves of that tree. By pouring water on the root of the tree, all the parts of the tree are automatically nourished. Only those branches and leaves which are detached cannot be so satisfied. Detached branches and leaves dry up gradually despite all watering attempts. Similarly, human society, when it is detached from the Personality of Godhead like detached branches and leaves, is not capable of being watered, and one attempting to do so is simply wasting his energy and resources."


"For self-realization, the people in Satya-yuga, living a lifetime of a hundred thousand years, were able to perform prolonged meditation.

And in Treta-yuga, when the duration of life was ten thousand years, self-realization was attained by performance of great sacrifice.

And in the Dvapara-yuga, when the duration of life was one thousand years, self-realization was attained by worship of the Lord.

But in the Kali-yuga, the maximum duration of life being one hundred years only and that combined with various difficulties, the recommended process of self-realization is that of hearing and chanting of the holy name, fame, and pastimes of the Lord."


Everyone tries to make a permanent plan for happiness, but everyone is baffled by the laws of material nature

Therefore the materialistic world is called the darkest region of God's creation.

The whole world is full of questions and answers
