Giving Love in Lima

Everybody wants to be loved. The secret of how to be loved as much as possible is to always be giving love because the more we give love, the more we are the recipients of love. Of course sometimes when we are giving love we are actually do more harm that good. This is called giving love in the mode of ignorance. To give love properly we must understand what is actually beneficial for the living being and give him that.

That which is actually beneficial for the living being is to reawaken his eternal loving relationship with Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So if we want to purely and properly love someone, we must give them Krishna consciousness. The more we give Krishna consciousness to others, the more we will feel how we are being showered by the loving mercy of Lord Sri Krishna at every minute. This is why those who properly understood the science of Krishna consciousness absorb themselves as much as possible 24 hours a day in giving Krishna consciousness to others. In this way they are constantly doing the greatest good for others and the greatest good for themselves as well.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Get Free from Reaction to Meat Eating?

Thank you very much for your answers. I don't know English very well. If any mistake, I feel sorry.

Sir, now I live in Japan. In Japan no temple, nowhere to worship. Sir, in Japan I eat meat, maybe beef. I feel guilty. My soul says I done a great sin. In Japan I have lived in last 4 years. I eat meat every day, but now I want to become free from the reactions of this sin. How to do this?

Answer: Fully Surrender to Krishna

We do have ISKCON centers in Japan where you can go for pure vegetarian Krishna prasadam. Kindly let me know what city you live in, and I will direct you to our nearest ISKCON center.

By the eating the flesh of the cow, you have no doubt committed a great sin. You are an accomplice in the killing of the cow and must take the reactions for cow killing. In this connection it is stated in the Caitanya Caritamrita:

go-aṅge yata loma, tata sahasra vatsara
go-vadhī raurava-madhye pace nirantara

"Cow-killers are condemned to rot in hellish life for as many thousands of years as there are hairs on the body of the cow."--Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Adi 17.166

But if you will fully surrender yourself now to Lord Krishna becoming His completely dedicated devotee, He will very mercifully free you from the huge volume of sinful reactions that you have accrued.

He confirms this as follows in the Bhagavad-gita:

sarva-dharmān parityajya
mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja
ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo
mokṣayiṣyāmi mā śucaḥ

"Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." --Bhagavad-gita 18.66

So kindly now learn how to become a pure devotee of Lord Krishna by taking prasadam, studying Bhagavad-gita As It Is by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and attending classes and kirtans at your nearest ISKCON center.

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 ...
