Upcoming World Tour

Now we are making the final preparations for our next Krishna consciousness world tour. In this material world many people make world tours, but they usually do them for some sort of sense gratificatory purpose. Our mood is different from that of an ordinary tourist or businessman. We have no material motive for our tour. We are making our tour in a mood of humble service to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada to assist him in his mission of inundating the entire world in a tidal wave of pure Krishna bhakti. This is the topmost necessity of the modern day human society. The whole world is suffering due to lack of Krishna consciousness. We want to help them to become happy. This is our mission.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: What is Perfection?

Namaste. What is perfection? How can it be achieved? I have so many friends who say, "I'm not perfect and never will be." What a sad and sorry fate. With this attitude, what is there to look forward to? Thank you for caring so much and for helping people change their lives for the better.

Love always,

Tommi

Answer: Being Restored to Our Original State of Consciousness

Just as rain water is pure but becomes muddied by mixing with the earth when it falls to the ground, similarly our original perfect state of consciousness becomes polluted by contact with the material atmosphere. And just as contaminants can be filtered out of polluted water to restore it to its original pure state, similarly our polluted consciousness can be restored to its original perfectly pure state by the filtering process known as the bhakti yoga system.

Those who have a defeatist attitude will indeed always remained defeated because they have relegated themselves by their attitude to the position of perpetually being defeated. And those who are willing to bravely throw off their conditioning of bodily consciousness and take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna, will be rewarded with liberation from all material miseries.

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.
