Living in Paradise at Every Minute

It's 6:39 a.m. on Thursday 26 April 2007. I just had a wonderful realization while I was attending the morning program at our nectarean temple in Riga, Latvia. I realized that by the mercy of my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I am living in paradise at every minute, and this will continue getting ever-increasingly sweeter and sweeter for all of eternity. And this in spite of an aging body that is gradually deteriorating and will sooner or later drop dead! I had always hoped for such a life, but never knew how to attain it. It was only after taking shelter of the lotus feet of the bona fide spiritual master that it became a practical reality.

In this connection it is stated in the Srimad Bhagavatam as follows:

tasmad gurum prapadyeta
jijnasuh sreya uttamam
sabde pare ca nisnatam
brahmany upasamasrayam

"Any person who seriously desires real happiness must seek a bona fide spiritual master and take shelter of him by initiation. The qualification of the bona fide guru is that he has realized the conclusions of the scriptures by deliberation and is able to convince others of these conclusions. Such great personalities, who have taken shelter of the Supreme Godhead, leaving aside all material considerations, should be understood to be bona fide spiritual masters."
---Srimad Bhagavatam 11.3.21

I advise you, my dear readers, that if you want to taste the ultimate nectar at every minute, kindly take hint from the paradisial discovery that I have made and do the needful for reviving your lost divine consciousness. Do not postpone this. This should be your number one priority right now!

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.

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
