Try to Find the Absolute Truth

Vyasadeva dictates to Ganesh
Back in the 1970's many people were searching for truth. These days it seems not as many are searching. Also more part of the equation today is a concept of fake spirituality that has no connection with God. We accept that the Vedas teach the truth. According to the Vedas there is one eternal Supreme God (Absolute Truth; Bhagavan; the Supreme Personality of Godhead; the Supreme Soul; Krishna; etc.) There are an infinite number of living entities (spirit souls; jivas) who are also eternal. The one Supreme soul is eternally maintaining all other souls. He eternally maintains their spiritual existence; eternally maintains their personal spiritual identities; and eternally satisfies their desires. This is so for the living entities living in the eternal Kingdom of God (spiritual world; Vaikuntha; etc.) as well as the conditioned souls living in this material world. The material world is like a prison (Durga) for the living entities and by the cultivation of Krishna Consciousness the living entities can attain the spiritual world.
