Question: Why It Is So?

Pranam Guruji, thank you very much for the great ways you teach us how to live and connect with Krishna. I am in a situation in life, where I am finding it very hard to concentrate on Krishna.

My brother-in-law who is visiting us from India for 6 weeks tries to intimidate me and makes me feel like a stranger in my own house. He takes my husband out to drink every single night, until the wee hours of the morning. They think because I am praying or meditating whenever I find time, that I come from a different culture and cannot understand why people eat meat or drink. They never pray. They drink and eat meat yet they have a life which is completely trouble free, and here I am trying to be good and do good at every chance I get, and there is no end to my miseries. Please help me understand why is it so. I appreciate your time and awaiting your reply.

Hare Krishna!

Answer: For the Ulimate Good

Don't be disturbed by the so-called enjoyment of the materialists. They are simply burning off the reactions of their previous pious activities. As soon as they have spent off their pious karma they will be plunged into the darkness region of the universe. By the u this suffering situation you are burning off the reactions to your past misdeeds. Simply remain pure and ever grateful to Lord Krishna for His unlimited kindness upon you even if it appears in the form of distress. If you will faithfully execute the bhakti yoga system without deviation, soon you will able to fully take shelter of the Lord's lotus feet and attain 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
