Absolutely Astounding Krishna Consciousness

Now as we depart from the Baltic region of northern Europe to spend a few weeks in the holy land of India, I am absolutely astounded at how blissful this lecture/kirtan tour was. No matter how blissful Krishna consciousness gets, it keeps on getting more and more blissful without any end. Where will this ever-increasing nectar take me? It is inconceivable! There is so much bliss in Krishna consciousness that it can completely overflood your heart and come pouring out with such profusion that the entire universe can be drowned in it. And to think that I can go on living like this for all of eternity without every having to die staggers my imagination.

Question: Strength for Realizing Ultimate Truth

Dear Gurudeva,
Namaste.

I would like to humbly ask the following question:

It is said that the ultimate truth is not for the weak in body, or the weak in mind, for if the body is weak, it has to be taken care of immediately, and if the mind is weak, the intellect loses its capacity to absorb spiritual knowledge. Is there any way to strengthen the body and mind to cultivate the required disciplines, moral values and virtues in every aspect of daily life?

Yours in yoga,

Janardan Mali

Answer: Follow this Simple Formula

If under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master one takes a diet of delicious, nutritious Krishna prasadam only, chants at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mahamantra on japa beads daily, and strictly avoids illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling, he will easily get sufficient power both in body and mind to fully realize the ultimate truth.

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 ...
