Finding the Fountain of Youth

It's 9:55 a.m. on Wednesday 25 April 2007. This is our last day in Tartu on this preaching tour. It's always a wonderful treat to stay with the Krishna conscious college students at their center here (pictured below).

I joined this movement 36 years ago when I was their age, and I don't feel like I have aged a day since then. By the grace of my spiritual master I have the same idealism, enthusiasm, and optimism that I had when I was a 22 years old youth. The only difference is that now I am even more optimistic, idealistic, and enthusiastic than I was then.

Because Krishna is eternally young, His devotees also experience eternal youthfulness. The famous Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon, was searching for the fountain of youth, but he never found it. By the grace of my spiritual master I have discovered the true fountain of youth: Krishna consciousness.

Who wants to get old and die? Not me. I'd rather live in eternal youthfulness. Krishna consciousness is the way to do just that.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Why Waste Time Chanting Hare Krishna?...

Do you know that Kalki Bhagavan is now available in India? He says that He is the Kalki Avatar of Lord Krishna incarnated on this earth along with his wife. He is doing miracles and giving initiation to the aspirants and removes all the vasanas (desires) and enlightening them all over the world. When Lord Krishna is within the reach of every one here why chanting of Hare Krishna Mantra 16 rounds every day and wasting time? Why are you making a world tour for to spread Krishna consciousness when Krishna Himself is physically available here?

Answer: Don't Waste Time With Bogus Incarnations...

The incarnation of God is understood according to the revealed scriptures, not according to the bogus claims of unscrupulous pretenders. According to the authorized revealed Vedic scriptures, Kalki Avatar will not appear for another 427,000 years. His specific activities are clearly predicted in the Srimad Bhagavatam. He will wield a sword and ride on a horse named Devadatta. He will travel over the earth exhibiting eight mystic opulences. Displaying his unequalled effulgence and riding with great speed he will kill the demons by the millions. If your so-called Kalki was the actual Kalki this would be the topmost news story on the planet earth. That I have only heard about him from you and not from the news media clearly indicates that this is not the real Kalki Avatar.

Your so-called Kalki Avatar may be healing the sick, but doctors do that also. Does that mean that the doctors are God?

We are following the following the authorized system of the most recent incarnation of God on this planet, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, as confirmed in the revealed Vedic scriptures. That you would criticize us for wasting time by executing the Yuga dharma, the prescribed duty for this age (chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra), sadly indicates how much you have been misguided by this so-called Bhagavan (incarnation of God) and his followers.

I am sorry to have to speak such strong words to such a good and dear soul as yourself. But you have been very much misled and I hope that my words may help to get you back on the proper path. Please do not take that my words are spoken in anger. They are clearly not. I am speaking to you with sincere love in my heart for helping you to become free from the cycle of birth and death.
