Auspicious Krishna Consciousness to Africa

After a super ecstatic week of teaching the wonderful liberating science of Krishna bhakti here in Mauritius we are heading out today for South Africa to engage in the same awesome, enlivening activity there. Krishna consciousness has unlimited amazing opulences. One of them is that it is fully transcendental to this material existence. It can be practiced and taught in any and all times, places, and circumstances. We are unlimitedly fortunate to have received this sublime science from our eternal spiritual master, His Divine Grace Om Vishnupada Paramahamsa Parivrajakacharya 108 A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Question: Help Me Conquer My Anxiety

Thank you for your wonderful answers.

At times I am in a lot of anxiety when I cannot complete my rounds on time or my japa is pending while other work is piling up. Also because of this anxiety a lot of arguments happen. At times even I don't realize why I manifest such behavior, but when I sit down calmly I understand that I did not get sufficient time for my daily sadhana (devotional practices). How to deal with such anxiety? Is such anxiety correct? My household chores are also allotted by Krishna. So why should there be such anxiety? I have been in the Krishna consciousness movement for quite a few years, but I still cannot control my anxiety. Please help me.

Your servant,
RV

Answer: Prioritize Krishna More than Eating

Somehow in spite of our busy schedules we always find time to eat, no matter how busy we are, because we give top priority to our eating. In the same way, if you will prioritize your 16 rounds as more important than your eating, they will be the first thing that you will accomplish every day, even if you have to postpone your eating. In this way, your sadhana will always be at the center of your life, and you will always be happy.

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below.
