A Thrilling Adventure 24 Hours a Day

By fully dedicating my life to spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world, there is no question of idle time or a dull moment. There is so much work to do to awaken the dormant Krishna consciousness within the hearts of all that 24 hours a day is just not enough time to get the work done. In Krishna consciousness life easily becomes transformed into an endless, ever-increasingly thrilling adventure.

Why only read about, hear about, or watch movies about the real and imaginary adventures of others? By taking up the life of propagating Krishna consciousness to everyone we meet, we can live inside our own exciting adventure movie at every second.

In this supreme lifestyle sleeping, although necessary to keep up the health, becomes a source of frustration as we see how much time is being wasted every day. Eating Krishna prasadam (vegetarian foodstuffs offered with love and devotion to Lord Sri Krishna), although a source of great spiritual enlivenment and energy, also becomes an impediment, if too much is consumed, because the digestive process sucks energy away from the brain diverting it to the stomach.

When we develop a taste for telling others about Krishna, we experience the highest ecstasy of spiritual life. Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita that there is no one more dear to Him than the one who tells others about Him.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Do We Make Love with God?...

If Krishna is the enjoyer of all senses, when we make love with someone do we make love with God?

Answer: Krishna Does Not Enjoy the Material Senses...

The senses are not actually enjoyable, although the conditioned souls under the influence of the illusory energy consider them to be enjoyable.

Krishna's enjoyment has nothing to do with the material senses. Nor can we factually enjoy the activities of the material senses. The only thing that is actually enjoyable is to engage our senses in the service of Krishna, the master of the senses.

Krishna is described as the master of the senses. It is not correct to understand Him as the enjoyer of the senses.

The animal propensities of eating, sleeping, mating, and defending are all being conducted within the realm of the Lord's external energy. Lord Krishna is situated far, far beyond the scope of the external energy. He is situated within His eternal, all blissful internal energy. So it is not that when a person is having sexual union, the so-called love making of this material world, that they are having sex with God.

Attachment for the so-called love making is a hard knot in the heart that keeps one entangled in the cycle of birth and death. Therefore we must detach ourselves from this sort of love-making business.

Of course, if we are married and we desire to raise some Krishna conscious children, we can, with the blessings of our spiritual master, attempt to plant the seed of a human being within the womb of our wife through the authorized system of spiritual sex life.

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.
