Reaching Out to You

I have been inconceivably blessed by Lord Krishna, by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, and by the followers of His Divine Grace. They have truly saved me from a hellish, extremely depressing existence and brought me into the realm of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. I am therefore eternally indebted unto them.

Srila Prabhupada has ordered me that just as I have been saved, it is now my duty to fully dedicate myself to saving others. Somehow or other, by Lord Sri Krishna's grace, I stumbled onto the idea of spreading Krishna consciousness on the internet and been experiencing amazing success far beyond what I could have imagined.

Tasting this most sublime nectar and seeing how much everyone in this world is entrapped in so many varieties of suffering conditions I am feeling very, very sorry for them. I am therefore very happy that I have been blessed with the means of reaching out to everyone and gifting them with the ultimate happiness, Krishna consciousness.

Therefore on his order I am now reaching out to share with you the inconceivable blessings that I have received from Srila Prabhupada. Kindly this accept this humble offering of love and make your life perfect in Krishna consciousness.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: How to Always Remember Krishna?...

You have pointed out how to have Krishna consciousness at every minute even while engaged in performing ordinary duties such as working a job or running errands.

Please give me practical tips so I can remember Krishna all the time. When I am free it is easy to remember, but in stress or under work pressure or totally engrossed in work I forget. At such times how can I remember the Lord.

You have said to surrender all things to Lord. Offering our food first to the Lord so that it becomes transformed into prasadam is one part. But how do we engage other activities in Krishna consciousness? Please give me the practical way to do this.

With Regards,

Answer: Offer the Result of Your Work to Krishna...

The most important thing is to rise early in the morning and chant 16 highly focused rounds of the Hare Krishna Mantra on japa beads. In this way your spiritual "battery" will be fully charged and you will easily be able to remember Krishna all day long.

To engage other activities in God's service is easily done. All you have to do is offer the fruits of those activities to the Lord. Do not claim anything as your own. Give everything to the Lord. For example, if you are earning money, that money should be utilized in Krishna's service, not for sense gratification. This means that you should spend your money in such a way that your Krishna consciousness and the Krishna consciousness of your family members is enhanced, not inhibited. Also a portion of those earnings should go for spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world.

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
