There is Nothing Sweeter than Krishna Katha

The perfection of the ears and the tongue is to engage them in the topics of the Lord, Krishna katha. There is truly nothing sweeter or more relishable than this. It is so sweet that one can continue in this way for hours and hours without feeling tired. That day when the world wakes up to the nectar of Krishna katha will be the beginning of a golden era of peace and prosperity for all.

The wonderful glories of Krishna katha are described by the Lord Himself in the Bhagavad-gita as follows:

mac-citta mad-gata-prana
bodhayantah parasparam
kathayantas ca mam nityam
tusyanti ca ramanti ca

"The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me." Bhagavad-gita 10.9

Do yourself a favor. Find someone who is willing to engage with you in Krishna katha and start churning that ocean of unlimited nectar today!

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Who is Krishna?...

Please tell me who is Krishna? I am new with understanding self realization. When I pray (chant) (meditate) I am speaking directly to God, also son Jesus and Holy Spirit. But in your chants you are calling on other names Please tell me who they represent, and why you call upon them.

Thank you

Answer: Increase the Quality and Quantity of Your Chanting...

Krishna is the most perfect and complete name for the Supreme Personality of Godhead, that Supreme Person Who is the origin of all that exists. He is known by different names according to different languages. In English He is called "God." In Sanskrit He is called "Krishna."

In English we call water "water." In Spanish it is known as "agua." Whether we refer to it as water or as agua, the substance is the same. Similarly whether we address the Supreme Person as God, Krishna, Allah, or Jehovah, etc. the person is the same. What matters is not the particular name we use. What matters is that we approach Him selflessly with pure love.

Each and every one of the unlimited names for God describe different of His various attractive qualities. The name "Krishna" is most perfect and most complete because it refers simultaneously to all of His attractive qualities and therefore contains all of the other names for God within the two syllables "krish" and "na."

We chant His name with love calling for Him to deliver us from the repetition of birth and death by accepting us as His eternal servants.

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
