In Direct Communion With the Source of All Existence

Why live an ordinary, drab, hum drum existence when you can live a life which is absolutely ecstatic at every minute in direction communion with the source of all existence? The only reason that anybody would opt for the ordinary, drab, hum drum existence is that they don't know any better. My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, calls this a "poor fund of knowledge." In other words their knowledge bank account has insufficient funds.

For those of us who are in such an impoverished condition the good new is that the universal government has grants available in the form of unlimited "cash infusions" to stuff us so full with divya-jnana, transcendental knowledge, that all ignorance will be driven far, far away. Such "cash deliveries" are made by the devotees of the Lord, who constantly traverse the earth for blessing the impoverished. By serving and submissively hearing from these devotees, we are blessed with the knowledge by which we can easily and clearly understand what is the path to perfection and how to precisely follow that path for quickly achieving the supreme state of consciousness in direct communion with Sri Krishna, the source of all existence, at every nanosecond.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Untimely Death?

When a someone meets with an accident, why does the soul sometimes leave the body? As the soul is eternal, since it is an unnatural death, why does the soul leave the body in an untimely death?

Ashish

Answer: According to Karma

The soul will remain in the body as long as it is destined to, according to the laws of material nature. When time comes for the soul to leave it must leave.

Normally the soul does not leave the body until it becomes old. But sometimes according to one's karma, one must leave the body even when one is young. All of these things are going on according to the laws of karma, action and reaction.

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
