Focus on Purity

Nowadays there is an ever-increasing interest in purity...pure water, pure air, a pure environment. But we should never forget that real purity begins in the mind. The mind is the subtle platform while water, air, and the environment are on the gross platform.

The gross platform is simply a manifestation of the subtle platform. If our minds are polluted, naturally the environment will be polluted. And if our minds are pure naturally the world around us will become pure.

The process for purifying the mind is simple and easy. All we have to do is regularly chant the holy names of the Lord with love and devotion:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

Dive into the ocean of nectar of today. Don't remain in the dense, dark Age of Kali for one minute longer.

Questions and Answer

Perfectly Distributed Love...

1. How do I practically give all my love to Krishna?

2. By doing so how will I purely love my family members? (if possible, please give a practical illustration.)

Your student,

Bhakta Pradeep

Here's How...

The practical method for giving all of your love to Krishna is to fully surrender yourself at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna's pure representative, the bona fide spiritual master, conducting all of your life's activities solely under the spiritual master's direction.

When you channel love purely in this way, it is then automatically distributing through Krishna to all living beings throughout the total existence. This of course includes your present family members.

In this state of Krishna consciousness you will see your family members as they actually are. You will see them as pure spirit-souls, part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You will see how they are lost in the cycle of birth and death. You will do everything possible to try to deliver them from their entanglement within Maya. In this way you will give them the purest love possible.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
