Deeply Relishing the Full Nectar of Existence

In this world everyone is looking for enjoyment, the best enjoyment that they can possibly experience. But the fact is that no one is really satisfied. Everyone lives with a sense of frustration that they are not tasting the full nectar of existence.

We invite all such frustrated souls whoever they be and wherever they be throughout the vastness of this universe to seriously take up the chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra.

In this connection it is explained in the Kali Santarana Upanishad as follows:

"At the end of Dvapara Yuga, Narada, after traveling the world, approached Lord Brahma and asked him:

'How may I overcome the (evil effects of) the Kali Yuga?'

Brahma said: 'You have asked me an excellent question. I shall reveal to you the secret of all Vedas, by which you will cross over the (ocean of) samsara filled with the bad effects of the Kali Yuga. This secret must be preserved and protected. By merely uttering the names of the Primeval Purusha, who is Bhagavan Narayana, one is freed from the clutches of Kali.'

Narada asked again: 'What are those names of Narayana?'

Brahma said:
'Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

This collection of sixteen names (of Narayana) destroys the evils of the Kali Yuga. I don't see any other effective means (of liberation) in the Vedas.'"

So if you want to overcome all the inauspicious qualities of the dangerous ocean of the Age of Kali, kindly dedicate your life fully right now to purely chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra every day without fail. In this way you will deeply relish the full nectar of existence.

Questions and Answers

Wish Not Granted Is a Dilemma for Me...

I have a very serious topic to discuss. We always hear success stories about the wishes granted to us by the Almighty, which is followed by thanksgiving. I want to know that suppose you have pledged something very dear to you and the wish is not granted within a time frame and in a way you have 'missed the bus'. What do you do about your vow? It is a dilemma for me . Do advise me on this.

Seeking your blessings.

Make God's Wishes Your Wishes...

The mistake we make when we approach God, is that we approach him with our wish list of what we want. This is the wrong approach. The proper way is that we should approach the Lord to see what He wants of us. We must give up our self-centeredness and becoming fully and purely God-centered. In such a state of mind all our desires will be fulfilled and we will feel complete peace and satisfaction at every minute for all of eternity.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But
