May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge   Vishnujana Swami Made Me a Devotee When I prayed to God to guide me how to become His perfect servant, He heard my prayer and reciprocated by sending His Holiness Vishnujana Swami to Austin, Texas in the spring of 1971 to teach me by his example and by his words how to become His devotee. He was the great personality who recommended to Srila Prabhupada for initiation and who performed my initiation ceremony. I cannot even begin to imagine how much I am indebted to him. How I met him and how he made me Krishna's devotee is described in detail in memoir, The Divine Love Memoir, which can be ordered by clicking right here.

May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge Theories Are Not Scientific When I attended a gathering in which a scientist was presenting his theory before a public assembly I asked him, "How do we know that your theory will not be replaced by another theory?" He answered, "I hope it is because then we will be making progress." Thus the obvious conclusion of this is that theories are not facts. They are simply speculations. Yet they are dishonestly put forward as facts and are accepted as facts by the fools and rascals. Darwin's theory that we came from the apes is an example of this. In this connection there is word "oxymoron." This refers to a statement that contradicts itself such as "cruel kindness." Just as "cruel kindness" is self-contradictory "scientific theory" is also self-contradictory because theories are speculative. They are not factual. Science means to know things as they a

May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge 1% Will Change the World The world population is 8 billion. On 2 May 1972 while in Tokyo Srila Prabhupada wrote in a letter to his disciple Karandhara das, "If only 1% become devotees, that will change the world." This means that we need to focus only on making 80 million people Krishna conscious. That will be sufficient for transforming world history. But Is this doable? In this connection on 27 March 1972 while in Sydney, Australia Srila Prabhupada wrote to his disciple Jagadish, "If we simply repeat this philosophy exactly as it is, without any misrepresentation or adulteration, then this movement will never be checked, and we will conquer the world." So the real formula for conquering the world is purity, determination, and patience. If Jeff Bezos could launch the worldwide marketing giant Amazon in the garage of a rented home just think what we can accomplish for making the whole worl

May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge Can an Unrealized Person understand the Rasa Dance? One time, while Prabhupāda was eating jackfruit, he joked about the taste of jackfruit. A man in a foreign land tried to describe jackfruit to a friend, but he confessed that there was no way to describe it unless you tasted it. When the friend insisted on some verbal description, the man replied that if you were to drink sugarcane juice through a Muslim’s beard, then you might understand the taste of the jackfruit. Prabhupāda said that attempts to understand the rāsa dance of Kṛṣṇa by unrealized persons are like that. So instead of speculating on the rasa dance we should learn about it from Srila Prabhupada.

Are you a worrier or a warrior?--3 August 2024 (C.E.538) May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge Are You a Worrier or a Warrior? We have a choice. We can be worriers, the victims of history or we can be warriors, the makers of history. Which one are you? The worriers are those who succumb to the waves of the modern day materialistic civilization and are thus carried away by the waves of maya to remain entangled perpetually in the cycle of repeated birth and death. According to the law of karma sometimes they are humans. Sometimes they are animals. Sometimes they are fish. Sometimes they are demigods. Sometimes they are germs. etc, etc, On the other are the warriors, those who take advantage of the material energy seeing that it is ultimately the energy of Krishna. They ride of the waves of the material energy for the pushing forward a new era of spirituality on this planet. This is the sankirtan movement of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. You have a choic

 If not for Krishna where would we be?--2 August 2024 (C.E.538) May You Be Blessed with an Eternal Life Full of Bliss and Full of Knowledge If Not for Krishna Where Would We Be? We wouldn't exist at all if it were not for Krishna's emanating us from Himself for the purpose of enjoying loving relationships with us. Yet, it spite of this we deny His existence and take our unexplained existence for granted. Can you imagine how ungrateful we are? It's time to revive the universal attitude of gratitude that once in former ages existed all over the world. In this way the whole world will become peaceful, prosperous, and happy.
