How to Taste the Bliss

The more we can engage ourselves in talking about and hearing about Krishna, the more we will become ecstatic, the more we will taste the bliss of Krishna consciousness. Therefore those who are intelligent arrange their lives in such a way that they can 24 hours daily engaged in hearing and chanting the glories. They attend classes on Krishna consciousness as much as possible. After initiation they also try to give classes whenever possible. Even when having ordinary conversations they try to as much as possible introduce the topic of Krishna.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Get Free from Suffering?

How does one become free from the dualities of suffering of attachment? For example you see it is very common for people nowadays to jump in front of trains, commit suicide and random degrees of violence due to this, i.e. wife, girlfriend leaving them etc. How does one become free of something that appears to be so real?

Your Humble Servant,

Bhakta Michael

Answer: Through Krishna Consciousness

To get free from the dualities we have to realize the completely temporary nature of the entire material situation that each of us finds ourselves in. Whether I am a king or a pauper it is nothing to get excited about or depressed about because it is only a temporary situation that will very soon change according to the laws of nature.

The only position of permanent happiness is to realize that I am not this body, that I am the eternal servant of Krishna, and then to engage myself fully and completely in His service. As soon as we enter into this state of consciousness, known as Krishna consciousness, we will become relieved from the all the sufferings of material existence.

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
