Understanding the Supreme Person

Some people argue that there is no Supreme Person. But their argument is baseless and illogical. To understand how there must be a Supreme Person kindly consider these points:

Does everyone have the same amount of wealth? No. Everyone has a different amount of wealth. I may have $10. You may have $100. Someone may have $1,000,000. Somewhere within the vast expanse of existence there is a person who has more wealth than anyone else. Similarly everyone has different amounts of strength, beauty, knowledge, renunciation, and fame. When we can locate that person who exceeds all others in power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame we have found the Supreme Person.

To argue that there is no Supreme Person is to say that everyone has the same quantity of power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. Since this is obviously not true can logically, philosophically, scientifically understand that the Supreme Person MUST exist. The next step is to meet Him.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: What Makes You Different?

What makes you any different than any other intolerant religious group?

John

Answer: Why Different? We are All One Family.

I am not a group. I am an individual who has realized the Absolute Truth. I respect every living creature as my brother since we are all children of the same Supreme Father. Whether you call Him Krishna, Allah, or Jehovah is not an issue. One's spiritual progress is not measured by what group they associate with or by what name they choose to address the Supreme Person. Each individual's spiritual progress is understood by how much they have become a lover of God and by how much they are therefore naturally disinterested in material sense gratification.

There are other people who have had personal realizations similar to mine. I like to stay in touch with them because through their association I am able to deepen my personal realizations more and more. For the sake of ease of association we have banded together as a family known as the Hare Krishna Movement, formally known as ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Being a member of this amazing global family does not mean that one gives up his brain. Rather I have experienced that being connected with ISKCON has a brain enhancing effect. It's something like associating with guitar players to become a better guitar player. It's quite cool actually.

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
