Thinking Outside of the Box

We are currently caught up in a suffering situation in the cycle of birth and death because we have been conditioned to always analyze things in a very rigid set pattern which is based on the false understanding of considering the body to be the self.

If we want actual relief from our suffering condition, we must learn how to think outside of the box, i.e. to think outside our normal patterns of thought. We have to see everything as the property of Krishna and always try to utilize everything a way that is most pleasing to Him.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Has Kalki Avatar Already Come?

The Vedas describe that the 10th Avatar of the Supreme Lord will be in the Kali-yuga and will be known as Kalki Avatar. Some people say that that Tirupati Balaji is the Kalki Avatar and some people say that the Kalki Avatar has yet to come. So my question is: Has the Kalki Avatar already come in the form of Tirupati Balaji or is He yet to appear?

Amit

Answer: He's Not Coming For Another 427,000 Years

According to the authoritative Vedic literatures Kalki Avatar will not come until the end of the Kali Yuga, which is 427,000 years from now. When He comes He will annihilate all the demons and thus usher in an age in which everyone is saintly. If Kalki had already appeared, we would not see around us a chaotic world so full of sinfulness.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
