Wednesday, July 15th through Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada: Now, now the principal religions of the world -- Hindu religion, Muslim religion, Christian religion, and Buddha religion -- most of them believes some supreme authority or personality coming down from the kingdom of God. Just like in your Christian religion Lord Jesus Christ, he claimed to be the son of God and coming from the kingdom of God to reclaim you. So this claim of Lord Jesus Christ, we admit. We, the followers of Bhagavad-gita, we admit this claim. So there is no difference of opinion between the followers of Hindu religion and Christian religion. In details there may be, according to country, climate and people, in details there may be difference, but that does not make any material difference. -- "Why The Lord And His Representative Descend," July 20th, 1966, New York, Bhagavad-gita 4.6-8 | | | | | | UPCOMING Janmastami 2009: Thursday, August 13th Mark your calendars for the biggest festival of the year, Sri Krishna Janmastami, the Appearance of Lord Sri Krishna.
