Krishna's Most Amazing Mystical Presence

It's 23 November 2011 at 3:41am London time. We are currently on a British Airways flight from Mumbai to London. As I write these words I am listening through headphones to Srila Prabhupada singing with great devotion the prayers to six Goswamis of Vrindavan. I am reflecting on the most amazing month of chanting and hearing that I have just experienced in India. There are no words to fully describe how wonderful is Krishna or Krishna consciousness or how merciful is Srila Prabhupada for making Krishna and Krishna consciousness so easily available to us. But we must dutifully try our best to describe the indescribable. Such descriptions are a good starting point for awakening transcendental understanding. But the most amazing thing is that Krishna is fully mystically present in His descriptions which are strictly in accordance with the teachings of the six Goswamis. In other words you, the reader, are fully getting Krishna right now in these our humble words which are delivered to you in strict accordance with the six Goswamis. How much you will realize Krishna's divine presence in these words simply depends on how deeply you will take these words into your soul.

Answer: Fully Surrender to Your Guru's Order

Simply on the order of your spiritual master you must always remain enthusiastic to serve Krishna in all varieties of circumstances, pleasing or non-pleasing. In this way, if you will dutifully surrender to the order of your Guru Maharaja, you will be greatly blessed by Lord Sri Krishna and will thus experience at every moment the most relishable happiness.

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
