Helping Others to Get Eternal Happiness

We are traveling all over the world simply for the purpose of helping others to become happy. By focusing our lives in this way, our own personal happiness is guaranteed. The entire world is suffering due to a lack of Krishna consciousness, and by the grace of the great saintly teachers of the past we have the formula by which anyone and everyone can become happy in any part of the world.

This material world is ultimately a place of misery no matter what position we may hold here. Actual happiness can only by realized by reviving our eternal identities as eternal spirit-soul servitors of the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna. Therefore we are traveling to so many places where I am giving so many lectures and am I meeting so many people simply to encourage them to revive their original spiritual identities and thus taste the sweet happiness of Krishna consciousness at every minute.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Does Krishna Likes Hardwork?

Is it true that Lord Krishna likes those persons who are hardworking?

Regards,

Sunil

Answer: Not If It's For Sense Gratification

Krishna is very pleased if we work hard in His service. Such hard working is a symptom of our love for Krishna. But He is not pleased when we work hard simply for sense gratification. When we work hard for Krishna we become free from the material miseries. But if we work hard only for material sense gratification our material sufferings will increase.

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
