Nagaraja Dasa - Back To Godhead

This issue contains several articles having to do with the lives of Hare Krishna devotees. To write her Ph.D. thesis, Padma Devi Dasi, from Australia, turned to the Bhagavad-gita. She examined Australian environmental scientists in the light of Krishna’s teachings on the three modes of material nature. Her article “Global Environmental Management and the Vedic Triguna” reveals what she discovered.

Satyaraja Dasa has written about another Australian devotee in “Do or Die with Jaya Vijaya” that’s Jaya Vijaya Dasa. He runs a martial arts school where he mixes in basic lessons on Krishna consciousness.

In “A Vision from the Heart,” Murari Gupta Dasa, from Back to Godhead’s India office, reports on a blind devotee whose attraction to chanting Krishna’s names is a source of inspiration for all those around him.

In “Krishna’s Perfect Timing: Revealing a Covered Devotee,” Karnamrta Dasa writes that his early life gave no hint that he would become a Krishna devotee. But his transition makes sense, he says, when one considers Lord Krishna’s teaching that even death cannot destroy one’s spiritual progress.

Along with Srila Prabhupada’s lecture and two Vedic Observer pieces, articles by Ravindra Svarupa Dasa, Urmila Devi Dasi, and Caitanya Carana Dasa round out the issue.
