Distributing Krishna's Mercy

Having been blest with the sweetest, most inconceivable mercy of Krishna by my beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I have no other duty save and except to fully absorb my life in distributing this mercy as far as possible to every man, woman, and child on the face of this planet. The most productive and enlivening places for distributing this mercy are those places wherever people are the most open to receiving it. Therefore, I am regularly traveling the planet looking for the best opportunities to plant the seed the bhakti in the hearts of men.

Here in Lima I am experiencing the wonderful hearts of the Peruvian people, how receptive they are to the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna. Therefore, I am very happy to be here sharing this supreme mercy with them.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Krishna Consciousness at Work

With every passing day I get so deluded with this material world. But I am forced to go through all my daily actions. My office is full of stress and full of people with ignorance. I get longing to engage myself in hearing songs praising the Lord or describing His beauty and His playful activities, to think about His greatness, and try to remember what is said in the Bhagavad-gita and try to improve myself as a person.

The whole day I want to do activities only connected to Him, like worship or study or listening to songs or seeing photos or hearing about Him or chanting. I do not feel like going to office at all. In office, I get in contact with material people with material concerns and I get disturbed.

Please guide me how to carry out my usual life. I want an opportunity to serve God. But I do not know how to go about it.

I also have a doubt. What does the tilaka signify?

Your humble servant,

Jaisri

Answer: Charge Your Batteries and Wear Tilaka

The office atmosphere must necessarily be full of stress because it is not a Krishna centered atmosphere. The key for your happiness is that you must turn your home into a Krishna conscious ashram in which every morning and evening you dive deeply into the mellows of Krishna bhakti. In this way if you keep your bhakti batteries always fully charged, even if you have to spend some hours every day in a material atmosphere, you will be able to remain always diving deeply in the nectarean ocean of bhakti.

Tilaka marks your body as a temple of God. I recommend that you wear it every day to your office because it will help you to be more Krishna conscious. Many years ago when I was working a job to support our preaching center in Austin, Texas I made the decision one day to wear tilaka to work. My job was to sit in the office and sell long distance telephone service over the telephone. That day when I wore tilaka I had an exceptional number of sales. My manager was very pleased. He told, "I don't know what that is on your forehead, but you must wear it every day." So every day from then on I always wore tilaka to work.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
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.
