TRANSCENDENTAL NEWS

MONTHLY / NOVEMBER / 2024

Our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada once said, "There is so much information and news about the spiritual world and the transcendental activities that go on there, that even if something could be written about it every moment, still one would not be able to find the end, unlike the newspaper that is limited and simply repeating the same kind of information."

 

We have put together a website, http://RealBhakti-Realyoga.com, where you can have access to the main literatures written by Srila Prabhupada: Bhagavad-gita As It Is, Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Caitanya Caritamrta, Sri Isopanisad, and the Nectar of Devotion. We invite you to probe and see for yourself the transcendental messages within, and be taken on a spiritual journey of the soul, back to its original destination in the Vaikuntha or spiritual world where there is no anxiety. Om Tat Sat.
