Back to Europe

Now that we have honored and celebrated the most ecstatic appearance day of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, it is time to focus our energies on the upcoming 2 1/2 months of traveling throughout Europe for distributing the ultimate self-realization science. We will first go to Bulgaria, then to Germany, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, and finally to the Netherlands. Everywhere we go we see that people are hungry for this topmost knowledge and the practical system of how to fully realize it. Of course, at the present moment it is still a very, very small percentage of the human population who are interested in reviving their dormant Krishna consciousness. But I am sure that the numbers will grow and the world atmosphere will gradually change for the better. We simply must continue undaunted in purely presenting the ultimate theistic science for the benefit of all living beings throughout the universe.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Our Form in the Spiritual World?...

When you say we enjoy or experience the bliss in Krishna's Abode I want to know what will be our form or senses to experience that bliss as we will not have any physical body or senses that we use in this material world?

Thank you for your patience and answers.

Your Student,

Veena

Answer: Eternity, Knowledge, and Bliss...

You have asked me, "What will be our form or senses to experience that bliss as we will not have any physical body or senses that we use in this material world?"

You will have a particular form composed of eternity, knowledge, and bliss in the spiritual world, a form such as a cowherd boy or a cowherd girl. You will have fully spiritual senses in a fully spiritual body that never gets sick, never gets old, and never dies. You will enjoy life forever in the service of Krishna experiencing the most beautiful and wonderful things for all of eternity in unlimited varieties of loving pastimes with Lord Krishna and His unlimited devotees. You will see, hear, feel, smell, and taste just like you do here, but in a way that is completely free of the difficulties experienced in the material world such as birth, death, old age, and disease.

The Mayavadi philosophers cannot imagine a happy state with functioning senses. Therefore they say that after liberation one becomes senseless. This is a compared to a sick man in the hospital who is nauseated by the thought of eating. But once he recovers his health, he regains his appetite and is very happy to enjoy eating many varieties of foods. While very ill he could not consider eating, but once recovered he completely forgets the disgust he formerly felt for eating when he was very sick.

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
