On a Mission Round and Around the World

On our flight from Amsterdam to Doha a stewardess inquired from us about our travels. She was amazed to hear how Mataji and I are constantly traveling around the world, how we are currently flying on our second back to back around-the-world ticket, how on the very day that our first around-the-world ticket was used up, we started another one. She asked us how long we are going to live this like. When we told her that our plan is to do this for the rest of our lives she was even more amazed.

It has been predicted that the day will come when everyone throughout the entire world becomes Krishna consciousness. Our lives are fully dedicated at every second to bringing that about as soon as possible. I pray that I can live long enough to see it happen.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Proof of God's Existence?...

Hi, I stumbled on you website and been reading some of the thoughts.

Can you prove to me that God exists? I know I can't prove that He does not exist. But I would like to know whether you can prove the existence of God?

P.S. In your article on Nov 15, you argue that everything comes from something and that the original source is God. This is not logical since it also means that God too must have an origin. Then He/She is not an all powerful God, just somebody with more powers than us. This doesn't make them God.

I look forward to your reply.

Jeremy

Answer: Absolutely!...

If someone has already decided there is no God, we cannot prove anything to them. If however someone is truly open minded we can easily prove to them that God exists.

We can observe by practical experience that every machine requires an operator. No machine can start itself. There must be an operator. We also observe that this universe functions as a gigantic machine. Therefore we can guess that the universal machine must also have an operator.

God has an origin. That origin is Himself. He is self-manifested, and everything else that exists is God-manifested.

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
