‘Society Consciousness vs. Kṛṣṇa Consciousness’ was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha on October 16th 2006. This article was in response to an Iskcon guru/GBC stating that there was no room for Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura in Iskcon.
'Self-Manifested Deities' was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha on October 16th 2006. At the time of writing this essay, a phenomena of milk-drinking deities of Gaṇeśa was occurring in India. Narasingha Maharaja addresses this briefly, then gives a history of self-manifest Deities, and finally discusses the Deities established by Prabhupāda in Māyāpura and how they have been eclipsed.
'Why We Fight’ by Swami B.G. Narasingha was first published on October 9th 2006. In this article, Swami Narasingha explains why it is the duty of Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas, in particular tridaṇḍi-sannyāsīs, fight against māyā and misconception.
‘Meditation Techniques and the Holy Name’ was written by Swami Narasingha in October 2006. Narasingha Maharaja discusses the age-old problem of distraction during japa, and gives advice based upon Sanātana Gosvāmī and Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura on how to combat this.
“More on Christianity: Only Kṛṣṇa Consciousness Can Enhance Kṛṣṇa Consciousness” is an article written in September 2006 by Swami Narasingha, which was a follow-up to a previous article by Mahārāja called, ‘Real Religion is Not Man-Made.” Narasingha Maharaja answers various questions that he received from devotees in relation to Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavism and Christianity.

In 'Fools Rush In Where Angels Fear to Tread' Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja cautions that if one is negligent to protect one’s self against the imitation tendency, one will regrettably be given the inspiration to live in a ‘fool’s paradise,’ thinking that he has now achieved the higher standard of devotion.
In 'Jesus in the Vedas' Swami B.V. Giri looks at the prediction of Jesus in India found in the Bhaviṣya Purāṇa and shows how this section seems to have been interpolated by the British.
In ‘The Adbhūta Mandira and Bhaktivinoda's Vision’ written in 2005, Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja gives a detailed narration of how Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura discovered the Yogapīṭha, the birthplace of Śrī Caitanya. He gives compelling arguments as to why the Yogapīṭha Temple is the actual Adbhūta Mandira predicted by Nityānanda Prabhu, as opposed to the new temple being built by ISKCON.
‘Gītā Govinda of Jayadeva Gosvāmī' was written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in September 2005. This article addresses a particular group of devotees who published an English translation of Gītā Govinda, who begged the question that is was necessary to distribute this high literature to one and all.
