Escaping Hurricane Samsara

Saturday Morning 13 September 2008: Here in Austin, Texas we are close to but just outside the periphery of Hurricane Ike, which is, as I am writing these words, slamming into Texas with high water surges and high velocity winds of great destructive power. In a day or two the weather will be back to normal, but the storm of this material existence, Hurricane Samsara, will continue raging on with no abatement. Just as one can escape the flood waters of a hurricane by moving to higher ground, onne can escape the hurricane of this material existence by the process of Krishna consciousness, which permanently situates the devotee on the higher ground of the spiritual platform where life is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Is Agni My School's Leader?

The leader of the so called spiritual school, in which I've been initiated as a healer, says that he is Agni, the god of fire. And he stated that every second word in the Vedas is about him. Is there something known about this, that Agni is really here on earth?

I thank you in advance for Your wisdom.

Answer: Ask Him to Transform into a Pigeon

Agni one time manifested himself in the form of a pigeon. So you may request the leader of your healing school to prove that he is Agni by demonstrating to you a transformation of himself into the form of pigeon. If he is not able to do so, you can understand that he is not actually Agni, that he is simply bluffing and cheating by claiming that he is Agni.

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?

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.
