Subal das got this wrong : Subalaji what Srimad Bhagavatam are you reading > Text 5: When Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva saw the small boy Prahlāda Mahārāja prostrated at the soles of His lotus feet, He became most ecstatic in affection toward His devotee.

Prabhupada said : I never said it

Yesterday I had a nice talk with Guru Prasada Swami and much about it ,,about fasting on Visnu Tattva days ,I gave him a copy of my book Sri Narasimha also .

should we fast on Dvadasi

should we fast on Dvadasi ?

Is there really a prophecy about Jesus in the Vedas?

A recent flurry of articles and website postings have been made to indicate that the fable of Jesus is mentioned in the Vedas [Bhavisya Purana].
