Use Everything in Krishna's Service

Since everything is the property of the Lord, everything should be used in His service. This is real renunciation, not the so-called renunciation of considering everything to be material and therefore not using things at all. By using everything in the Lord's service everything regains its original spiritual nature. Since everything is coming from the Lord, everything is essentially spiritual. It only becomes material when we utilize it for our own selfish purposes. Therefore if an airplane is available, we can utilize it for traveling and preaching all over the world. And if it is not available, we can utilize an oxcart for the same purpose. Though our vehicle may be different, our message will always remain the same: Dive into and relish the unlimitedly deep nectarean ocean of Krishna bhakti by completely surrendering yourself at the Lord's lotus feet.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: You Cannot Fly By Cow and Bull

You do realize that the cow and the bull can't provide air travel for you to spread His Lordship's consciousness, right?

Answer: We Can Adopt Any Means of Travel

Why do you ask such a question? Do you think I am lacking in common sense to understand that I cannot utilize the cow and bull for flying all over the world? Although I will utilize airplanes as long as they are available, I am not dependent on them for my world preaching mission. If necessary, I can travel all over the world by oxcart and by sailing ship.

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

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.
