Suffering is Outdated and Old-Fashioned

Krishna consciousness is an ocean of unlimited nectar. There is no reason for anyone to suffer in material existence any more. All one has to do is to dive deeply into this ocean and eternally relish the sweetest happiness in the association of Lord Sri Krishna and His most beloved devotees. Suffering is outdated and old-fashioned. Those who are awakened relish the sweetest happiness of Krishna consciousness at every minute and fully dedicate themselves for saving those who are so totally lost in confusion, illusion, and delusion. This dedication they have to saving others makes them very, very dear to Lord who therefore bestows unlimited blessings upon them.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: What is the Secret of Your Energy?

Hare Krishna.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I offer you my humble obeisances.

Gurudeva, please forgive me to ask you this personal question.
Gurudeva, you are thrice my age and you are working three times as hard as I do.

Although you are working selflessly and you are working for Lord Krishna directly but you are still working with a human body which has its own limitations. Gurudeva, please tell me what is it that you do but I don't? Please show me Your mercy in telling me what is the secret of Your energy? How can I work for 18 hours?

An eternal servant of Lord Krishna,
Dhaval

Answer: Surrender to Krishna

Krishna is the source of my energy. If you want to work like me, you should devote yourself fully to Krishna as I have. Then you will be similarly energized. When becomes absorbed fully in working hard for Krishna it is no longer work. It becomes instead the most enlivening recreation like a little kid in a candy shop.

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?

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.
