A Thrill at Every Moment Within

Any journey you take on this planet will leave you in the same place you started: stuck in the realm of birth, death, old age, and disease. Therefore those who are actually intelligent and philosophically inclined take the inner journey of self discovery instead. This inner journey of spiritual awakening is the most exciting travel experience you can ever have. At every moment newer and more enlivening realms of consciousness are discovered as you gradually progress to the perfectional stage of pure love of Godhead.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why is there Suffering in this Material World?

Dear Sir,

Humble Pranams! I am a devotee of Lord Sri Krishna. I want to know why is there so much suffering in this material world when God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna, loves all living beings unconditionally.

Most humble servant,

Kavita

Answer: We Inflicted this Suffering Upon Ourselves

Our suffering in the material world is self-inflicted. It is not that Krishna put us into a suffering situation. We came here out of our free choice to try to enjoy independently from God. Because Krishna loves all beings unconditionally, He has given each of us a residence of unlimited bliss in the spiritual world where everyone is engaged in sweet loving relationships with Krishna. If someone foolishly does not want to love Krishna, he makes the mistake of leaving Krishna and coming to this miserable place where love of God is conspicuous by its absence. Just see how foolish this is.

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 ...
