Bullet Proof Soul

You are a bullet-proof soul. It's not that you have a bullet-proof soul. You are a bullet-proof soul, who presently has a material body. You can never cut to pieces by any weapon, burned by fire, moistened by water or withered by the wind. You are an eternal, indivisible, indestructible particle of anti-material energy. And when you become fully reawakened to your original state of Krishna consciousness from that seedlike particle you will manifest your original eternal spiritual form as an associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His eternal pastimes in His indestructible abode, the wondrous spiritual sky.

Question: How to Give Krishna Consciousness to Non-Devotees?

Guru Maharaja, since discussing Krishna consciousness with non-devotees is a sin, how can we encourage/motivate/help people with no devotion to get onto the Krishna consciousness platform?

Anu

Answer: Intelligently with the Best Descriptive Language

It is not proper to understand that telling others about Krishna is a sin because in reality it is just the opposite. Since, Lord Caitanya has ordered us that we must tell everyone we meet about Krishna, the real sin is to not tell people about Krishna. The warnings about preaching to the non-devotees mean that we should not present Krishna consciousness in a way that will cause them to be critical or commit blasphemy against the Lord. In other words, we should the present the science of Krishna so intelligently with the best descriptive language so that everyone will be attracted.

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
