An Ocean of Bliss in Lithuania

Our brief overnight stop in Kaunas, Lithuania on our way to Russia was the sweetest nectar. The warm hospitality of the Lithuanian devotees is second to none in the entire world. The surest and quickest way to advance in Krishna consciousness is to engage in the six kinds of loving exchanges with the Lord's devotees. And there is no better place in the entire world to do this than in Kaunas, Lithuania. The six loving exchanges as listed by Srila Rupa Goswami as follows:

dadati pratigrhnati
guhyam akhyati prcchati
bhunkte bhojayate caiva
sad-vidham priti-laksanam

"Offering gifts in charity, accepting charitable gifts, revealing one's mind in confidence, inquiring confidentially, accepting prasada and offering prasada are the six symptoms of love shared by one devotee and another."
--Nectar of Instruction: 4

After several days of super sweet Krishna conscious association in Russia we will be coming back for an entire week of nectarean loving exchanges in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Stay tuned in for more reports from the ocean of bliss.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: What if Sankarshan Prabhu Gives Us Misinformation?...

I feel that Sankarshan Prabhu should spend more time in India and understand the basic Hindu teachings by listening to the various spiritual masters before he spreads the same all over the world. Although he is doing a great job, what if after doing all that he preaches wrong and sends the incorrect message of Bhagavad-gita?

Answer: I Only Speak the Pure Message of Krishna...

I appreciate very much that you feel I am doing a great job. I have also noted your concern that you fear that I may sometime speak something which is against the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. In this connection you may rest assured that I have fully surrendered myself at the lotus feet of the world's leading Bhagavad-gita authority, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He has carefully imparted unto me the the innermost understanding of the Bhagavad-gita as confirmed by the great acharyas who have guided India's Vedic civilization throughout the ages.

Thus I never give my own opinion regarding the message of the Bhagavad-gita. I have no other activity than to repeat the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita without adulteration exactly as spoken by Lord Sri Krishna to Sri Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetre 5,000 years ago because I have been carefully trained by my Guru Maharaja to never add anything or subtract anything from this topmost knowledge spoken by Lord Sri Krishna.

In this way what I teach to my students is perfectly in line with the Bhagavad-gita. Of course, in this connection I can take no credit whatsoever. I am simply the humble servant who is delivering the message of Lord Krishna as confirmed by the greatest spiritual masters of Indian history. I cannot take any credit for the purity of the message I am delivering because all credit goes to my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, who has enlightened me with the perfect knowledge of the Bhagavad-gita and ordered me to spread it all over the world. If I have any credit at all in this regard it is simply that I am always strictly following the instructions given to me by my spiritual master and repeating whatever he has told me without any deviation.

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
