Learning from Vedas - Backup

Is this story true? I am reading a fictional book which narrates like this. Never heard of whereabouts of Radha also. Please can someone enlighten?

Today is the blessed day - Sri Rama Navami. We are pleased to share a brief part of a discourse on Lord Rama by our own Sri Maha Periva, who was the Rama-avatara in our times and blessed us all with a true vision of how Rama lived all through his life in the most noble, truthful and Dhaarmic way. Let us get the nectar of His speech now: "Raama Taaraka Naama The derivation of words from their root syllables each of which is the root of a verb signifying an action, is, in the Sanskrit language a very instructive excercise. Hindu religious literature is replete with such derivations for almost every word that it uses. Each of the names of God like Rama, Krishna, Siva , Narayana, etc. -- in fact, each one of the names of God in the various lists of thousand names of God (= sahasra-naamas) has been assigned several derivations from their root syllables. 'The one in whose memory yogis revel in the bliss of brahman' -- is the meaning of the word Rama. ramante yogino-nante brahmaa...

Originally shared by The Science Of Self Realization CHAPTER 4:  UNDERSTANDING KRISHNA AND CHRIST Part 3:  “Thou Shalt Not Kill” or “Thou Shalt Not Murder”? At a monastic retreat near Paris, in July of 1973, Śrīla Prabhupāda talked with Cardinal Jean Danielou: “... the Bible does not simply say, ‘Do not kill the human being.’ It says broadly, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’... why do you interpret this to suit your own convenience?” Śrīla Prabhupāda: Jesus Christ said, “Thou shalt not kill.” So why is it that the Christian people are engaged in animal killing? Cardinal Danielou: Certainly in Christianity it is forbidden to kill, but we believe that there is a difference between the life of a human being and the life of the beasts. The life of a human being is sacred because man is made in the image of God; therefore, to kill a human being is forbidden. Śrīla Prabhupāda: But the Bible does not simply say, “Do not kill the human being.” It says broadly, “Thou shalt not kill.” Cardinal Danielou: W...

We all have heard the story of Lord Shiva in anger cutting the head of his son Lord Ganesha. I know this is just a story, but was eagerly searching for the source (in puranas). Can anyone shed light on this subject please?

sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ http://prabhupadabooks.com/bg/18/66 We are still fighting over religions, what Krishna calls for through Bhagavad Gita is to abandon all religions (as it is rituals and faith that build a religion) to reach him.  This passage has got all relevance this day, when humanity is fighting over languages, religions, countries, and all sort of things we can imagine of.

Originally shared by Hindu Awakening Guru’s mission is to show a disciple his own real form – Spiritual story A female tiger attacked a herd of lambs. She was pregnant. While jumping (on the herd) she delivered and after sometime she died. Her cub started growing up with the herd of lambs. Like lambs even this cub started eating grass. The cub bleated like lambs do. Slowly the cub grew up to be a young tiger. One day a tiger, from the jungle attacked the herd. This tiger was very surprised to see a grass-eating tiger amidst lambs. He caught hold of the tiger.
