Transcendental Knowledge for the Russians

Now we are in Kaliningrad, Russia for an ecstatic weekend of distributing transcendental knowledge. The local population is going about their activities in complete ignorance of the transcendental reality which is easily within their reach if they will simply open their ears to hear about it. Because of false pride, however, practically no one is interested. Sadly, this is the nature of this material world. Because of pride and ignorance, in spite of everyone's hankering for a life full of happiness, hardly anyone is actually finding it. So we have come to Russia hoping to be of service to those who are sincerely seeking spiritual awakening.

In the Bhagavad-gita Lord Sri Krishna very nicely explains the benefit of transcendental knowledge:

na hi jnanena sadrsam
pavitram iha vidyate
tat svayam yoga-samsiddhah
kalenatmani vindati

"In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has become accomplished in the practice of devotional service enjoys this knowledge within himself in due course of time."
---Bhagavad-gita 4.38

Kindly take advantage of the wisdom of the Bhagavad-gita. Your life will become unlimitedly sublime!

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: How to Chant 16 Rounds Daily?...

I keep on enrolling people to your course. I really want people to follow your sayings.

Please advise me how can I become fully Krishna conscious. I chant, but I can never finish 16 rounds. I am so tired with people and politics in my organization, I am so disturbed that I can not concentrate. How can I become little tough to handle these? I feel so tired that I keep sleeping till 7:00 AM. How will people like us, who are drained out in the office, find the time and inner quietude to be able to chant 16 rounds daily? Please help me.

Sincerely yours

Answer: Early to Bed, Early to Rise...

Thank you very much for introducing others to our course. This knowledge can save the entire world from all varieties of miseries. There is truly nothing more valuable than this knowledge.

The key for increasing the quality and quantity of your chanting is to go to bed as soon as possible as soon as you get home from the office in the evening. The earlier you go to bed, the earlier you can get up. When you rise early and chant before you begin your work day, your mind will not be cluttered with thoughts of the office politics. You will be in much better situation for fully concentrating your mind on the sweet sound of Lord Sri Krishna's names:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

In this way if you will chant 16 good quality rounds of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra before leaving for the office, your spiritual battery will be fully charged and you will never feel drained no matter how hectic your day at the office may become.

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
