Krishna Always Protects His Devotees

If we take complete shelter of Krishna, we will not be in any anxiety regarding whatever upheavals may beset the world society. A devotee's security is the lotus feet of Krishna, not the material society. Krishna lovingly makes all arrangements for His devotees so that they can always be in the best situation for advancing themselves in His loving service. And His devotees put their complete faith and trust in Him because His shelter is always guaranteed in all times, places, and circumstances.

Sometimes the devotees face very calamitous situations that appear completely hopeless from the material point of view. In such situations all they can do is to call out feelingly for the Lord's protection. And then out of His loving kindness the Lord rescues His devotees from the danger. Once in Vrindavan all the inhabitants of Vrindavan including the cows and calves were surrounded by and about to be consumed by a devastating forest fire. But when they pleaded for Krishna's help the Lord personally swallowed the forest fire and saved everyone from certain death. This was not impossible for Krishna, because He is unlimited. He has unlimited power to do anything He desires. In this way if we always take shelter of Lord Sri Krishna we never have anything to fear in any circumstance.

Question: Potency of Srila Prabhupada's Transcendental Vibrations

Will listening to transcendental vibrations via electronic media really help? I have 'Srila Prabhupada's dhun' CD with me. Will listening to it be as effective as listening to it directly from Srila Prabhupada's lips?

Answer: This Depends on Your Faith

Whether you could be sitting directly at Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet bathing in the nectar of the transcendental sound vibrations emanating from his lotus mouth or whether you are hearing a recording of his voice, reading his printed words, or hearing his teachings from one of his fully dedicated disciples---the potency is the same. It is simply up to you, the hearer, to be fully receptive to drink deeply into your heart the unlimited nectar of his causeless mercy. So how much benefit you receive depends on how faithfully you connect with Srila Prabhupada through any one of the above means.

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
