| Wednesday, October 7th through Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 | | | | | | | | | From Srila Prabhupada:
Just like if you want to be a mathematician, so you may pass from any university, Calcutta University or Delhi University or London University -- any university. Mathematics two plus two equal to four everywhere. It is not that in Calcutta University two plus two equal to five, and in London University two plus equal to three. No. Everywhere two plus two equal to five, four. Similarly, dharma means obedience to the laws of God. That is dharma. Either you become Christian or Hindu or Muslim, whether you accept God as the supreme authority and whether you abide by the laws of God, then you are dharmic. Otherwise, it is cheating. -- "The Religion Above All Cheating," Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.2.5, October 9, 1976, Aligarh | | | | | | Visiting Dallas This Week His Holiness Giriraja Swami will be visiting Dallas from Saturday, October 3rd until Friday, October 16th.
