Sublime Transcendental Existence

Anyone who seriously takes up the wondrous pathway of Krishna consciousness will immediately enter into an auspicious life free from anxieties and will be blessed with a sublime transcendental existence which minimizes the value of liberation from the cycle of birth and death. In other words, by awakening one's dormant Krishna consciousness one is already liberated even though still situated within a material body here in this material world.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Where to Find a Perfect Master?

Where do we find the perfect devotee or a perfect master? I understand that such people are rare and it is very difficult to approach them? Is it possible that one gets the knowledge on his own and advance on spiritual path? Are there any such sources of knowledge and how can we get access to them?

Please forgive my ignorance.

With Regards,

Santosh

Answer:A Perfect Follower/Teacher of the Bhagavad-Gita

Finding a perfect devotee spiritual master is not at all difficult. All you have to do is find someone who is purely following and presenting the Bhagavad-gita as it is. Such a person is naturally friendly to all and is thus very easy to approach.

Can one become a doctor or a lawyer on their own simply by studying the medical books or the law books? No. That is not possible. One must study under the qualified medical professor or law professor. Then one can become qualified to become a doctor or a lawyer. Similarly, one who is serious about spiritual realization must seek out a qualified professor of the spiritual science, that person who practices and teaches Bhagavad-gita as it is. Then by studying and practicing under such a bona fide spiritual master, the spiritual aspirant can become a fully realized successful transcendentalist.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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

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.
