Tune Into Krishna Right Now

Just as a radio broadcast is all pervading within the local area and can be thus heard by anyone who tunes into it with a radio set, in a similar and even more powerful way Lord Sri Krishna is broadcasting Himself everywhere throughout all of existence by His unlimited divine potency. All you have to do to tune in and experience His divine presence and unfathomable mercy is call out to Him from the bottom of your heart with the Great Chanting for Deliverance:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

So do yourself the supreme favor. Tune into Krishna right now.

Question: Devotee Renounces the Fruits of Chanting?

My dear Srila Gurudeva,
Kindly accept my humble obeisances,

Does work in renunciation mean, in the case of chanting the Hare Krishna mantra with love on japa beads, that we should renounce all the fruits of such chanting?

Your humble servant,

Sanil Kumar

Answer: He Relishes Chanting's Fruits Unlimitedly

It's a fact that a devotee does not chant in the mood of a businessman to get something material from the Lord in exchange for his chanting. His only desire is to become ever-increasingly absorbed in surrendering Himself fully to the Lord without asking for anything in return from the Lord. This is why Lord Caitanya sets the perfect example when He prays to Krishna as follows:

"I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly in His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord unconditionally."

The only fruit the devotee desires from his chanting is to unlimitedly dive deeper and deeper into the sweet mellows of Krishna bhakti. This is the perfection of renunciation, or non-fruitiveness.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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.
