Curing the Terrorism Disease

Millions and billions of dollars are currently being wasted every year in an attempt to curb down the terrorism disease, which is more and more and menacing the human society. This horrendous waste of energy is going on because the government leaders have no understanding at all of what is the cause of terrorism.

When a human being does not try to awaken his dormant enlightened consciousness he is on the platform of an animal. This is the state of the modern day animalistic civilization. We live in a world that is 99.99% populated with animals. In a world of animals it is natural that some of them will be ferocious like the lions and tigers. If we want to put a stop the terrorism the only solution is to elevate the world society to the human platform by teaching them the ultimate self-realization science. As soon as this is done we will see that immediately that the terrorism disease will be cured.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Poison in the Beginning?

In the "Thought for the Day" of 13th July you have observed that "happiness in the mode of goodness is poison in the beginning and nectar at the end". Why should it at all be poison in the beginning? Kindly enlighten me on this.

Ramanuja Dasa

Answer: Contamination of Passion and Ignorance

In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna describes happiness in the mode of goodness as poison in the beginning and nectar in the end. Of course, in one sense it is not actually poison. It simply appears as such to one who is still contaminated by the modes of passion and ignorance.

For example, in the beginning of practicing Krishna consciousness rising early every morning by 4 am to attend mangala-arati may appear like poison, if the neophyte devotee is habituated to sleeping in every day until 7 am. But once he becomes accustomed to rising by 4 am he will experience it as the sweetest nectar and never want to give it up.

Editor's Note: Mangala-arati is the first worship service of the day as observed by devotees of Krishna either in the temple or in their home.

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
