Tune in to the Source of Existence

Tune in to the source of existence, the Supreme Person, who is the fountainhead of all energies. In this way you will pierce the veil of the material energy, attain the supreme nirvana, and experience what is there on the other side of reality. Believe me, it's much better than we get on this side. If you are skeptical, give it try anyway. You will be absolutely amazed by what you experience. What do you have to lose?

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: What is Your Disciplic Lineage?

I live in Quebec, Canada. I am 54. I am a believer in Krishna. I also believe in the Bhagavad-gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam and all other Vedic Scriptures.

I have not been initiated in any sampradaya (disciplic lineage) yet, but I strongly believe it will happen in a few years. Could you tell me who is your spiritual master and from which sampradaya he comes? I love studying the Bhagavad-gita, but I would like to know more about you before I enroll.

Thank you very much.

John

Answer: Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya-Sampradaya

I am very happy to hear of your faith in Krishna, the books which describe the science of how to become a pure devotee of Krishna, and the process of initiation. May Lord Krishna bless you that you can soon become fully qualified to accept initiation.

My spiritual master is His Divine Grace Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya Astottara-Sata Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Tridandi Goswami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.

There are four Vaisnava sampradayas, lines of disciplic succession for perfectly connecting with the Supreme Lord. One sampradaya comes from Lord Brahma, one from Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, one from the Kumaras, headed by Sanat-kumara, and one from Lord Siva. These four systems of disciplic succession are still going on. We are in the disciplic line descending from Lord Brahma, known as the Brahma sampradaya. The unique feature of this sampradaya is that only 500 years the Supreme Lord, Lord Sri Krishna, personally appeared within the Brahma sampradaya as Lord Caitanya. It also is a special feature of this sampradaya that the essence of Vedic wisdom, the Srimad-Bhagavatam, was originally imparted by Lord Sri Krishna to Lord Brahma.

My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, is the 32nd in the disciplic succession coming from Lord Brahma. And on his order those of his disciples who are strictly following him are 33rd in the line of succession. Because our line descends through Brahma, Madhvacarya, and Lord Caitanya, our disciplic branch is known as the Brahma-Madhva-Gaudiya sampradaya.

It is our ardent hope that you will agree to accept training from us because if you do so and strictly follow our instructions, we can assure that you will attain spiritual perfection in this life and will thus become qualified to go back to home, back to Godhead upon leaving your present body.

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
