The Nectar of Devotion is an Ocean of Bliss

In today's world there is so much lying materialistic propaganda. This makes it all too easy to be carried away by illusion. Therefore it is recommended in the Srimad Bhagavatam that to get out of illusion and stay out of illusion we should study the Srimad Bhagavatam every day and serve that person whose life is completely dedicated to spreading transcendental knowledge all over the world.

"By regular attendance in classes on the Bhagavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact." Srimad Bhagavatam 1.2.18

This is my modus operandi, my method of operation. I hear or give a class on the Srimad Bhagavatam every morning, and I have fully dedicated my life to serve my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, by serving his mission. His mission is to completely re-spiritualize the planet earth by inundating it in a tidal wave of pure love of God.

In this way my heart is becoming purified of all contamination and loving service to Lord Sri Krishna is becoming solidly established in my heart. There is truly nothing sweeter or more exciting than this. It is the ultimate attainment. You can taste the same nectar that I am tasting, if you will also fully surrender yourself to the above instruction from the Srimad Bhagavatam. I invite you that if you have not already entered into this ultimate enlightened lifestyle that you kindly do so today. If you want to know how, I am prepared to personally give you all guidance, blessings, and inspiration.

The nectar of devotion is an ocean of bliss. Can you taste the nectar?

Questions and Answers

Can We Kill Animals for our Pets?...

Is it correct to feed animals, such as pet dogs, that eat meat? Isn't it that one HAS to kill animals for the pet to eat because the pet usually cannot do the killing himself?

Thank You,

Utilize Vegetarian Options or Let Them Procure Their Own Food...

If the animal kills and eats his own food there is no karma. But if you kill an animal or pay someone to kill an animal to feed your pet, for you there is karma.

This is not a major problem because nowadays there are many vegetarian options available for feeding pets. If you want to keep a pet, you may utilize one of the vegetarian options that are currently widely available.

However it should be noted in this connection that in the Vedic culture pets are kept outside where they can utilize their natural abilities to procure their own food.

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.
