Don't Be Cheated by Imposters

In this world we are besieged by many imposters, enemies who claim to be our friends. As soon as we put our trust in them we become cheated and exploited. Therefore for the sake of our own well-being we should only trust the Supreme Lord and those who purely represent Him. As soon as we put our faith in those others who are not qualified to lead us we fall into the syndrome known as "blind leading the blind."

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Win the Lotto?

I read your daily e-course and can understand your power. I play daily lotto over here but I don't win. I need your directives now, how do I win the lotto, because I want to win the lotto.

Thanks,
Chimereze

Answer: It is Better That You Go After the Ultimate Win.

You can only win the lottery or lotto if it is your karma to win. To achieve material opulence you require to perform many, many pious activities such as opening hospitals, taking care of the poor, and digging wells in villages. For the most part these things would need to have been done in previous lifetimes to make you materially opulent now. So if you do not have this past pious karma, you will probably not be able to win lotto or the lottery.

But why waste your time with this small time stuff? Even if you win ten billion dollars it is nothing more than a dirty penny that someone leaves lying on the street compared to the inconceivable opulence of Krishna consciousness. It is better that you inquire from the spiritual master how to awaken your dormant Krishna consciousness, not how to win in gambling.

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
