What Could Be Sweeter?

What could be sweeter than taking the holy names into a downtown park on the pleasant summer afternoon and broadcasting an ecstatic kirtan to attract the hearts of the fallen, conditioned souls back to Lord Sri Krishna, their eternal lord and master? That's what we did last Wednesday on Sofia, Bulgaria. To behold the souls who have been merged in forgetfulness of God for thousands and millions of lifetimes becoming attracted and uplifted by Lord Sri Krishna in the the form of His holy names has got to be the greatest feeling that you could ever have! If you want to taste the sweetest nectar join your local Hare Krishna chanting party as soon as possible.Check out the kirtan now through the following link:

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Difficulty with Vedic History

Your Grace,

I am currently in the US military and a part time college student, with a major in world history. I am doing my best to continue growing into Krishna Consciousness, but I have been having difficulty. I have been reading about Vedic history and how the ages are divided up. I am having difficulty maintaining continuous devotion when I have a hard time accepting the Vedic timeline. While the Vedic timeline goes back billions of years, the fossil record dates humanity at only about 10,000 years old, and the Earth itself at only about 4.4billion years. I tried to ask devotees about this, but most were shocked that I even had this concern and were unable to provide a reason as to why this may occur (the fossil record being considerably younger than the Vedic timeline).

So, Your Grace, could you possibly clarify this issue? Thank you very much for your assistance,

Your servant

Josh

Answer: Difficulty With the Scientists

I understand your concern and appreciate very much that you have approached me for clarification. You have mentioned that the fossil records date the human race as being only 10,000 years old. But there are archeological findings that substantiate the existence of humans on this planet as far back as 33 million years ago. It uncanny that the modern day scientific community is so much locked into their theories about the history of the human race that they stubbornly refuse to acknowledge a wealth of documented archeological findings to the contrary. You can check this out yourself at:

The modern day scientists are so much locked into academic stereotypes that they refuse to accept any evidence which does not agree with their theories. In other words, even though they advertise themselves as scientists, they are not being at all scientific. A true scientist does not bend or ignore the facts to suit his theories. The true scientist formulates his theories after open-mindedly analyzing all of the data which is available to him. And he is always willing to revise his theories when new data becomes available. We are seeing now that the modern day scientists are so close minded in this regard that we wonder if they are worthy of still being designated as scientists. Someone suggested they should be called dogmatists instead of scientists. I do not think they would be happy with this new designation.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
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.
