You've Got to Be Free

You've got to be free to taste the bliss.
You've got to be free or nectar you'll miss.
You've got to be free to break through the sky
And enter that land where nobody dies.
You've got to be free. Yes, you've got to be free.

You've got to free, no longer enmeshed
In crazy identity with rotting flesh.
Throw away the madness
And embrace the gladness
It's time to be free. It's time to be free.

Revive your true nature as eternal spirit soul.
Make pure love of God your one and only goal.
Call in today and book your ticket
On the next flight to Goloka. Make sure not to miss it.
You've got to be free. You've got to free.
Yes, you've got to be free. You've got to be free.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Attain Peace of Mind?

I have never had peace of mind I have a feeling that I can never have till I die whether or not I pray to God. There is no change in my situation even after chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra morning and night. Can you advise something which will act like a miracle and give me peace of mind instantly. I am of a feeling that it is not too long for me to become atheist. I request you to advise me what to do. I am seeking your guidance as a last resort.

Regards,

Rao

Answer: Simply Try to Please Krishna

Instead of trying to find satisfaction for yourself, simply try to satisfy Krishna or God. As soon as you stop thinking about your own happiness and just try to make Krishna happy, you will feel how your heart becomes flooded with unlimited happiness.

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
