QUINTESSENCE: TOUCHSTONE FOR THE INQUISITIVE

********************************************

 

In this issue, Srila Prabhupada explains how we are beyond this

material body,

and how we utilize this body decides our desitnation. A short yet

beautiful

article on 'Happy holidays' encourages us to yearn for the eternal

holiday

season. Archaelogical records suggest that human beings have lived

for times

longer than what we read in textbooks - read 'Puranic time and

Archaeological

record' to understand how a linear time conception of the western

world has

constrained our interpretation of the fossil record. In 'Holy places

of India',

we are taken on a fascinating journey to Jagannath Puri, the abode

of Jagannath

(or Krishna), the Lord of the Universe - be amazed reading the many

glories of

this Transcendental abode and Lord Jagannath. In our 'great sages'

section,

become inspired reading the life and activities of Sage Narada, a

pure devotee

of Krishna. And, there is more...enjoy the 'veggie corner', learn

from the

Gita's teachings, and scan the latest news from Universities across

North

America.

 

in your service,

 

Aravind,

on behalf of Quintessence team.
