Reconnecting With Our Source

Just as a child who is separated from his parents is in a great state of difficulty, anyone who is disconnected from his or her source is in a very problematic condition. The lost child may be pampered in so many ways, but unless he is reunited with his parents he will never be satisfied. In the same manner, no matter what material adjustments we may try to make to relieve our anxieties, they will all ultimately prove to be a complete failure. The only thing that will bring us real and lasting happiness is to be reunited with our eternal lord and master, Sri Krishna, the very source of our eternal existence.

Question: Can Bill Gates Become Krishna Conscious?...

Can Bill Gates and the likes of him ever become or aspire to become Krishna conscious? Is too much wealth an impediment?

I also want to know who really is an infidel? The Muslims call everybody else an infidel. Is that right?

Your kind response please,

Hare Krishna,

Jayraz

Answer: If He Reads Srila Prabhupada's Books...

Mr. Bill Gates and other wealthy businessmen can certainly become devotees if they will carefully read Srila Prabhupada's books. Too much wealth is an impediment, but if one seriously adopts the bhakti path, it is no longer an impediment. In fact if wealth is used in Krishna's service it becomes a great spiritual asset.

An infidel is anyone who is not fully surrendered to God. It has nothing to do with this sect or that sect. Just like the word infidelity, which refers to not being faithful to one's marriage partner, anyone who is not faithful to God by not being His fully surrendered servant is an infidel.

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
