Oceanic Kindness

One of the twenty-six qualities of a devotee is that he is kind. His kindness is called oceanic because it is all encompassing, in other words his compassion reaches out to all living beings within this universe and indeed even in the other universes. That kindness is the sublime gift of Lord Nityananda, upon whose request Lord Caitanya spared the two offensive devotees named Jagai and Madai and accepted them as His devotees. We should always therefore pray to be the representatives of the unlimited mercy of Lord Nityananda for everyone that we meet.

Question: How to Have a Crime Free Society?

Answer: Make the World Krishna Conscious

Since the lawmakers are themselves criminals because they are breaking the laws of God, how can we expect their laws to put a stop to crime?

The only way to stop crime is introduce the entire human society to the process of Krishna consciousness. At the present moment everyone is trying to enjoy life by engaging in the criminal activity of breaking the laws of God. They are indulging in illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling We must teach them instead that they can only be happy by obeying the laws of God. This is the only solution for the crime problem, which is torturing the human society.

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 ...
