Good Ultimately Triumphs Over Evil

Although in the short run evil sometimes defeats good, in the end good always triumphs over evil. This is so because pure goodness is the quality of the Lord's superior energy while evil is the product of the Lord's inferior energy.

When a small candle is lit in a pitch black room, the candlelight illuminates the entire room. But when a small can of darkness is opened in a lit room it is immediately destroyed by the darkness. We can see from this simple example that light is more powerful than darkness. Therefore in the end light or goodness will always defeat evil or darkness. So now if we will with great determination broadcast the light of Lord Sri Krishna's teachings as far and as wide as possible, the whole world will become illuminated and evil will be completely defeated.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why is a Materialist Punished?

Not a feather can move in this world without the consent of Krishna, i.e everything that is happening is the wish of Krishna. This means the demon Ravana did what the Lord wanted him to do. So then why was he punished? How can be a man conditioned by the wishes of the Lord be held responsible for his deeds? Please clear my doubt.

Answer: He Chose to Be A Materialist

The Lord has two energies: material energy and spiritual energy. We have the free will to choose which energy we would rather serve. If we choose to serve the material energy our lives unfold in one way according to the law of karma. And if we choose to serve the spiritual energy, we attain a life of full freedom beyond the law of karma. Even though the materialistic person is being conducted by the law of karma, still because he chose the material path he is subjected to all the reactions of his actions. If a person chooses to join a terrorist organization, he becomes obliged to follow the orders of his terrorist leader. Even though when he commits a terrorist act, it was not his own doing because he was simply following the instructions of his terrorist leader, still he is held personally responsible for whatever crimes he commits.

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.
