Connecting with Krishna in Russia

Krishna is everywhere. There is nowhere where Krishna is not present. Therefore we can connect equally with Krishna in Sri Vrindavan Dhama, in London, in Austin, in Riga, in Russia, or anywhere where we hear, chant, and remember the transcendental name, form, qualities, and pastimes of the Supreme all-beautiful, all-powerful, all-renounced, all-knowing, all-wealthy, and all-famous Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna. The insider's secret is that the more we share this connection with others, the more our connection becomes enhanced. Therefore those who are greedy for the strongest possible connection with Krishna dedicate their entire lives for reconnecting the entire universe with Krishna.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: How Am I Different from Krishna?

If everyone is within Krishna, how can we be separate from Krishna? If Krishna is like the ocean, I am like a drop. So am I different from the ocean?

S.N.

Answer: Just as Water Molecules are Distinct

Since Krishna is the complete whole and we are only tiny parts of the complete whole, Krishna can be compared to the ocean and we can be compared to the drops of water. The tiniest drop of water is a water molecule. The water molecule maintains its individually or it differentness even if it enters into a large body of water such as the ocean. It is still a tiny molecule composed of two parts of hydrogen and one part of oxygen. Similarly, the living being, even if he is fully Krishna conscious, maintains his individuality or differentness so he can eternally render loving devotional service to his beloved Lord. He does not want to annihilate his individuality because this would mean that he would no longer be able to serve his dearmost sweet Lord Sri Krishna. So try to understand that just as we can float a battleship on the ocean, but not on a drop of ocean water, there is always a distinction between a living entity and Krishna, even in the liberated stage.

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
