Reentering the Realm of Timelessness

While at the present moment we are ensnared in the dimension of time and space undergoing countless millions of births and deaths and separated from the Lord and His abode by countless millions of light years, Lord Sri Krishna, as described in the Narada Pancaratna, is situated beyond time and space. Because of our being conditioned by time and space our conception of returning to His transcendental abode to regain His association is that we must travel through time and space to go there. But actually all we have to do is free ourselves from the lording-it-over mentality and become purely fixed in the mood of loving service to the Lord. Then we will awaken in that sweet timeless abode tasting unlimited bliss in the association of the Lord and His pure devotees. We will realize that we were always serving the Lord there and that our painful, frightening sojourn in this material existence was just a temporary, momentary dip into the ocean of ignorance.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: God is Impersonal?

Please accept my humble obeisances.

How to counteract the arguments of people who say that God is impersonal?

Regards,

Vishnu

Answer: Impersons Cannot Manifest Personality

Ask them if they have ever experienced something impersonal which has manifested personality, and if they have ever experienced a person who manifested impersonality. We all have experience of persons who sometimes manifest impersonal qualities. But we have never experienced impersons, such as rocks etc, manifesting personal qualities. Therefore since the original cause of existence has manifested so many thousands and millions of persons, we can rightfully conclude that it is not possible that the original source could be impersonal. Only persons can manifest personality. Therefore God must a be a person; He cannot be impersonal.

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
