Flying in the Sky of Unlimited Bliss

Every form of pleasure in this material world has its point of exhaustion. The pleasure seeker finally reaches a stage where he can enjoy no more and he has to go somewhere else looking for pleasure. Such a situation where we cannot find anything permanently enjoyable is not very satisfying. No matter how much we gloss over the suffering conditions of material existence trying to make them appear pleasant, still in the final analysis we must admit the suffering condition of this material existence.

Therefore what we need is a type of pleasure that never becomes worn out, a well that never runs dry, so to speak. That unlimited pleasure is available to each and every one of us. In fact, it is our natural birth right. Just as a bird is meant to fly in the sky, we are always meant to fly in the sky of unlimited bliss by reviving our now dormant Krishna consciousness.

Is there scientific proof?

Yes, there is!

The scientific proof is the transformation of consciousness personally experienced in due course of time by anybody who seriously adopts the pathway of Krishna consciousness as taught by its greatest exponent, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Communication with Other Religions

What is your opinion about the cooperation between religions? Isn't it better to work together for the salvation of mankind instead of arguing on religious topics? What should be the attitude of the devotees to the other religions and spiritual paths?

Hristo

Answer: For Real Cooperation...

The only way that real cooperation can happen is for everyone to recognize that there is no such thing as many religions, that religion is one, to become a pure lover of God. As long as we think "this religion and that religion" any co-operation that may be attempted will be superficial and will not last. Working together for salvation means that everyone must agree what is salvation. Until there is common understanding of what salvation is, we cannot work together for the salvation of mankind. Our attitude to religious people outside of Gaudiya Vaisnavism is that we sincerely appreciate whatever they are doing and teaching which is in accordance with the Bhagavad-gita, and we are very sad with what they are doing and teaching which is against the principles of the Bhagavad-gita, for example--cow killing.

Bhagavad-gita is not presenting a relative man-made religion. It is the words spoken directly by God Himself, Lord Sri Krishna. Therefore of all scriptures it is the most perfect and the most authoritative. Religion is not relative. It is absolute. It is a scientific principle. The word "religion" comes from the Latin word "religare" which means to reconnect. So religion means to reconnect with God. Any process that reconnects us with God is religion. And any process which does not connect us with God is irreligion.

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
