Philosophical Monsters and Existential Nausea

The entire human society is afflicted with existential nausea. They have not a clue as to why they exist and how they exist. Even though there is a clearly defined, beautiful, ecstatic meaning for their existence, they don't know what it is. Nor do they know how to go about discovering it. This is why they are sitting ducks for such ridiculous philosophical monstrosities as Darwin's theory and many other concoctions brewed in the imperfect brains of word jugglers. If these poor souls will take advantage of the bona fide spiritual master, they will be saved from the darkness of delusion and a new, beautiful, enlightened era will manifest on this planet.

Lord Sri Krishna Invites You to Regain Your Original, Eternal Identity

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version

Question: What is the Devotee's Equanimity?

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet

In Bhagavad-gita 5.19, Lord Krishna says that equanimity is one of the characteristics of His devotees. Does this mean that a devotee neither like nor dislike anyone? I don't understand how a devotee can posses this quality. How can a devotee neither like nor dislike for example their parents, or children? Gurudeva, please help me to understand how a devotee can neither like nor dislike anyone.

Your servant,

Deodat

Answer: He Sees All as Krishna's Children

Equanimity means that a devotee is the best friend of everyone seeing all persons as Krishna's children.

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

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
