Kitchen Religion

June 1st, 2009 | by Harmonist staff

Often we see Srila Prabhupada surrounded by the external opulence of ornate vyasasanas, elaborate garlands, and throngs of devotees. Such images attract us, but in a different way than the comparatively sweet scene of the founder-acarya holding a slotted spoon

May 31st, 2009 | by Harmonist staff

I doubt it was his intention, but in 100 years time Richard Dawkins could be hailed as a prime architect of 21st-century religion

What’s a Girl To Do?

May 6th, 2009 | by Harmonist staff

Spiritual interest, according to Plato, has to be as intense as the infatuation of an adolescent boy for a young girl. But it is not only with the intensity of Plato’s adolescent infatuation that one must seek, but with all the humility at one’s command

April 26th, 2009 | by Harmonist staff

While Abrahamic faiths have been forced to abandon ancient codes and beliefs in order to accommodate gays in modernity, Vaishnavas need only abandon imported misconceptions and refer back to their ancient past
