The More You Give Krishna, the More You Get Krishna

Sometimes people wonder how I could totally absorb myself 24 hours a day in constantly traveling all over the world to distribute Krishna consciousness. They ask me, "Don't you get tired?" The insider's secret in this connection is that the more you give Krishna, the more get Krishna. In other words, the more I do this, the more I get energy and enthusiasm. Spreading Krishna consciousness is not an energy depleting or draining activity. It is an activity that energizes you more and more the more you engage in it. It's something like having a special mystical kind of money which when spent becomes even more. Normally when we spend money our bank account shrinks. But Krishna consciousness is like a bank account that increases and increases the more you spend it.

So the point is that when it comes to Krishna consciousness you can never lose. You are always a winner who goes on gaining more and more and more ad infinitum.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: What Happens in Heart Transplant?

In the "Thought for the Day" on 10 October 2007, you gave in response to the immovable soul question a beautiful example of a car driver who is stationary in the car although the car could be moving at hundred miles per hour.

Someone once asked me what happens to the soul when the heart is transplanted to another body by modern science? I do not know the answer and thus submissively request you to highlight me on this please.

Your "Thought for the Day" is absolutely fantastic and is like the sun, which never loses its radiance!

An aspiring devotee

Answer: Soul Changes Seats

The soul is seated in the physical heart of the material body. When there is a successful heart transplant, the soul merely changes seats. That's all. The old broken seat is removed, and new healthier seat is brought in to take it's place. Just like if something goes wrong with the driver's seat in your car, you will have a new seat put in. You keep the car (the external body). You put in a new seat (a new heart). But you, the driver remain the same (the spirit-soul within the body).

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
