Compassionate Diet Will Eliminate Hunger

On Saturday 1 October I spoke on compassion at the first vegetarian fair ever held in Estonia. It was a momentous opportunity to demand that there should be compassion for all creatures and that those without compassion should not be in leadership positions anywhere in the world. Those who eat violence in the form of murdered animals are guilty of having participated in that animal's murder and are subject to being punished by the stringent laws of material nature. For each animal of whose flesh they have partaken they must take a birth in that particular species and be slaughtered and eaten. So, the blood-thirsty carnivores who insist on maintaining their compassionless diets will pay a heavy price indeed. I advocated for the entire world population a vegetarian diet of food that has been made sacred by being offered to God before being eaten. Such a diet will free up a quantity of food grains sufficient to sumptuously feed the entire human population and thus completely eliminate hunger all over the world. And the spiritual potency that such foods acquire by being offered to the Lord will sanctify the brain cells for higher spiritual understanding of anyone who has the great fortune to partake of such foods.

Question: Why Did God Create Us?

Why did the Lord create us? Why did He make karma? Life seems to be too cruel to be created by an all-merciful God.

Answer: For Enjoying Loving Relationships

God is manifesting us from Himself for the purpose of enjoying unique, personal, eternal, loving relationships with each and every one of us. Just as a child who foolishly runs away from the home of his loving parents creates all kinds of difficulties for himself, we become entangled in all kinds of karmic reactions when we foolishly run away from God's kingdom to become wandering vagabonds here in the cycle of birth and death. Just as it is not the fault of the loving parents when the foolish child runs away from home, it is also not the fault of the all-merciful God when his foolish children abandon His kingdom to try to enjoy separately from Him here in this material world.

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 ...
