Another Wonderful Year of Spreading the Mercy

Another wonderful year now lies ahead of spreading the mercy of Krishna as much as possible all over the world for the benefit of those who are suffering in material existence due to a lack of Krishna consciousness. I don't receive a salary for doing this. This is done as a voluntary act of love. The pay, however, is awesome, because the more that one shares Krishna with others, the more he gets Krishna for himself. In material life it is not like this. The more you give something away, the less you have of it. But in spiritual life it is just the opposite. The more you give Krishna, the more you get Krishna. And the more you get Krishna, the more you become happy and satisfied.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: How Can a Small Atomic Particle Have a Form?

It is stated in the Vedas that the size of soul is 1/10,000 the tip of a hair. And we also understand that the soul has an eternal relation with Krishna, which we've now forgotten. Since the soul is much more subtle than an atom, how does it have a body or a form? How can a spiritual spark, which is 1/10,000th the tip of the hair, have a form suitable to participate in Krishna's pastimes.

Answer: Just as a Small Seed Can Produce a Large Tree

The seed of the spiritual form is there within the atomic spiritual particle. And when that atomic particle spirit-soul becomes perfect and returns back to Godhead, he manifests his full blown spiritual form just as a small seed can produce a large tree. And that form becomes fully manifested when the spirit-soul returns back to Godhead.

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
