Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Krishna is the Supreme?

Dear Guru Maharaja,

Why is Lord Sri Krishna, considered to be the greatest of all gods? Why is He considered as the Supreme Personality of Godhead?

ISKCON says we can chant any God's name. Its not a compulsion to chant only the Hare Krishna Mantra. But then why do we pray only to Krishna when Lord Rama, Allah, Jesus are all equally great gods?

Please enlighten me,
Your Aspiring servant,

Shweta

Answer: Everything Emanates from Him

Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the greatest of all the gods because everything emanates from Him. He is the source of all the gods and everything else that exists.

God has many names. Whether we say Krishna, Rama, or Allah, we are speaking of the same Supreme Being. Chanting Hare Krishna is the best worship of the Supreme Lord who can be addressed as Krishna, Rama, or Allah.

Jesus Christ is the son of God. He never claims to be God, the Father. When we worship his father by chanting Hare Krishna, Jesus Christ is naturally pleased with us and bestows his blessings upon us.

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
