  1. Equal rights for women is maya

    Just like a male and female. That movement is very strong now in America. The female wants to become male, or equal rights. This is maya. How woman can become in equal with man? Of course, we are not going to study the social welfare activities or something like that, but purusa and prakrti, they […]
  2. Bhakti, like a mango, is always good

    Mango is so nice, either ripened or unripened, it is always good. And that goodness may be tasted by different types of men. But mango is always good.
