May19 program . The Bhagavad Gita As It Is version explains the formula for world peace in its chapter 5 verse 29 by the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krishna. Listening Peace Formula bhoktaram yajna-tapasam sarva-loka-mahesvaram suhrdam sarva-bhutanam jnatva mam santim rcchati: Translation: The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries. Every step in the material mode of nature leads to danger but the action in Krishna Consciousness leads one to inner and outer peace.

This is an incident in which Lord Krishna's foto prevented from attack.   By: PrabhaVisnu Dasa.

After some struggle I found the shop, which was indeed quite remote.

When I left the shop I walked jauntily down to my car, in blissful gratitude to the Lord for th...
