Non-Stop Blissful Celebration

All you really have to do to be completely happy is be yourself. But the problem is that in our modern day society practically nobody has even the slightest clue as to who they really are. Almost everyone misidentifies their body as being their self. But nothing could be further from the truth. Therefore they spend their entire lives serving a false conception of the self, never finding any genuine satisfaction. It's no wonder then that so many people commit suicide every day and that the mass population spend their lives pointlessly trying to kill their misery by absorbing themselves in this ism or that ism and by indulging in sense gratification.

One needs to simply understand his non-material eternal nature and connect with the Supreme Person, the source of all existence, through loving service. This will turn his life into a non-stop blissful celebration.

Question: Is the Mahabharata a Myth?

Many a time there is a question in my mind. I often wonder if the Bhagavad-gita is just a part of an fictional story written by Srila Vyasadeva called the Mahabharata. But people following it regard it as something which has happened in reality. Is Mahabharata just like a movie which is based on real location and real persons belonging to its contemporary time of creation, but at the end of it all is just another work of fiction, or is it something which really happened? If it is indeed real, then there must be some record or remains of the reality which has been discovered by archeologists or historians. I'm not talking about Vedic and/or other scriptures. I'm talking about reference other than the Vedas, Upanishads or Puranas, i.e. recent discoveries. Is there any evidence as such? Please clarify my doubt. And thanks a lot for answering all my questions till now and also for running this online course.

Answer: It Is the Most Accurate History

Thank you very much for your sincere appreciation of our humble attempt to enlighten the world with the profound Vedic knowledge, which very clearly distinguishes reality from illusion.

Regarding the Mahabharata, kindly understand that it is historical. It is not mythological. The persons described in it are real, and all the events described in it are also real. There may be so-called physical evidence or there may not be physical evidence. That is not an issue for us because the historical accuracy of the Mahabharata has been confirmed by all the great acharyas throughout history. These great acharyas are the perfect knowers of past, present, and future. They are not conditioned by imperfect senses. The Vedic literatures are not born from imperfect senses and mental speculation. They give perfect information of what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and what will transpire in the future. And you can personally confirm this by purifying your senses through the sublime self-realization process.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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
