Particle Expands a Spiritual Body

Whether in the spiritual sky or the material sky, the spirit-soul always remains an indestructible, indivisible, subatomic particle of eternal, full-of-knowledge, full-of-bliss anti-material energy. Just as in the material world that particle expands a material body, in the spiritual world that same particle expands a spiritual body. When we are in this material world we are like oil in a mixture of oil and water. But in the spiritual world we are like oil in oil. While the impersonalists want to remain as spiritual particles in the spiritual world, the devotees of the Lord want to develop spiritual bodies so that they will have full facility to serve their beloved Lord, Sri Krishna in many different types of relationships.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How Does Krishna Eat?

My questions are:

How does Krishna eat? How does He think? And how does He work?

Mahendra

Answer: With Great Delight

Krishna is always relishing with great delight the wonderful foodstuffs lovingly being offered to Him by His devotees. He especially appreciates the offerings presented to Him by Srimati Radharani. She is such an expert cook that she never makes the same preparation twice for her beloved Lord Krishna.

In regards to thinking, just as the Lord's devotees are constantly absorbed in loving thoughts of Him, He is always constantly absorbed in loving thoughts of His devotees. This is confirmed in the Srimad Bhagavatam as follows:

sādhavo hṛdayaṁ mahyaṁ
sādhūnāṁ hṛdayaṁ tv aham
mad-anyat te na jānanti
nāhaṁ tebhyo manāg api

"The pure devotee is always within the core of My heart, and I am always in the heart of the pure devotee. My devotees do not know anything else but Me, and I do not know anyone else but them."
--Srimad Bhagavatam 9.4.68

And in regards to working, Krishna doesn't have to work because He is richest man in all of existence. He owns everything. Even though he simply plays the flute, still everything is going on perfectly under His direction conducted by His various energies.

This is the meaning of God. Do you understand now what is God?

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.
