The Perfection of the Theological Science

There is no one like Krishna. He is one without a second. He has no beginning and at the same time is the beginning of everything. His form is endless. He is not subject to decay. He is an undifferentiated entity as there is no distinction between His potency and the possessor thereof. This means that in His creation of millions of worlds His potency is completely inseparable. All the universes exist in Him, and He is present in His fullness in every one the atoms that are spread throughout the entire creation at one and the same time. There is truly nobody else in all of existence who possesses such potency. Therefore He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This understanding is the perfection of the theological science and is only comprehended by those who are Krishna's devotees.

Answer: We Have a Beef with your Beef.

I have personal experience of strongly preaching to Christians without hurting them. One time I was to invited to speak to an adult study group at a Christian church. Since Lord Jesus is a pure devotee and a saktyavesa avatar I glorified him like anything for a long time explaining to the Christians that we accept Jesus as our spiritual master. They were in complete bliss with big smiles on their faces. And then after sending them into ecstasy for a good while, I said, "But with you all we have a beef." (The word beef has a dual meaning. It means the flesh of a cow or bull. And it also means complaint.) I said, "With you all we have a beef. And that is the beef. You are eating meat even though the Bible orders us not to kill." Instead of being angry at me, their reaction was amazing. They were so mellowed out by hearing my long sincere glorification of Lord Jesus that they didn't mind when I poetically pointed out their fault at the tail end of my talk. In this way the lecture ended on a sweet note, and they were all happy in spite of being told that they were disobeying the Bible.

Kindly note that in this presentation I first won their admiration by my unabashed and enthusiastic glorification of Lord Jesus. Unless somebody likes you they will not agree to be corrected by you. But if they like you, you can tell them so many things, and they won't mind. They will take it. So in preaching one secret is to first win the admiration of your audience.

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
