Absorbed in the Ecstatic Mellows of Devotional Service to Krishna

Krishna consciousness means to be absorbed in the ecstatic mellows of devotional service to Krishna. It is the original unadulterated form of existence. It is unlimitedly sweet, free from all defects, and eternal. Under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, that person who has become fully Krishna conscious, one can learn how to also enter into this state of super ecstatic consciousness and always remain solidly fixed in it for all of eternity. There is no greater attainment or success than this.

Question: How Can I Please You?

You put things in such a clear manner that even the most fallen soul will be able to understand very difficult topics. I was hoping to receive some instruction from you. I want to be engaged in Caitanya Mahaprabhu's service, and I believe that you are His eternal associate. Please tell me what is the best way to please you.

Your Aspiring Servant,
Bhakta David

Answer: Chant, Become Sinless, and Share the Nectar

It is a fact that we are all the eternal associates of the Lord. Simply we have forgotten our real identities and are now dreaming that we have some identity in this material world. When we wake up from this material dream we will see that we are all the eternal associates of the Lord. I am very pleased that you want to be engaged in Lord Caitanya's service. The best way to please me is that you please Lord Caitanya by chanting at least 16 rounds every day of the Hare Krishna mantra on japa mala beads along with strictly avoiding illicit sex, intoxication, meat eating, and gambling. Also you should as much as possible read Srila Prabhupada's books and share the topmost knowledge with everyone that you meet. In this way become fixed solidly in Krishna consciousness, and we will be very happy to accept you as our initiated disciple.

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
