Time is More Valuable than Money

Time is more valuable than money. Money can be lost and gained, but any time lost is gone forever. It can never be reclaimed. Therefore we should not waste even a single moment in unnecessary material pursuits. We should instead absorb ourselves as much as possible in constantly hearing, chanting, and remembering the transcendental name, fame, forms, qualities, and pastimes of the unlimitedly sublime Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is known primarily as Krishna and also by millions of other names.

Reply from Christian: Jesus is the Only Way

Hello Sir ,

Thank you very much for taking your time and replying me.

Regarding the explanation you have given below, I think you have to be informed that Jesus says in John 14.6 "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me".

Hinduism is all about idol worship and since millenniums they were into dowry, sati and so many rituals, which are strongly against the principles of Christianity and Islam. More over Islam is considered to be the most scientific religion and most of the principles of Christianity and Islam are the same. So in this context how do you feel that Hinduism fits in as it is completely against this?

Also if you worship the God/Holy Spirit, again their arises a conflict that who according to you is God because as per what you said that Hindu God must be the real God, but many millions of God exist in Hinduism . The count of Gods in Hinduism is something which none of the Hindus know exactly.

Answer: But Christians Don't Follow His Only Way

We agree that Jesus is the only way because he is the representative of God. Christ is teaching that if you want to approach God, you must approach Him through His representative. You cannot approach Him directly. Krishna teaches the same principle in the Adi Purana. But the difficulty is that the Christians are not following Christ. They are maintaining big, big slaughterhouses where every day they torture and murder millions of innocent animals in spite of the Biblical injunction against killing.

We agree that many followers of the Vedic tradition become sidetracked by so many rituals. This is why the Bhagavad-gita teaches that one should give up all of these rituals and fully surrender himself unto the Supreme Lord.

The millions of gods which are described in the Vedic scriptures are not the Supreme God. They are his subordinate servants to assist the Supreme Lord in His universal managerial affairs. The Bhagavad-gita strongly asserts that we should not worship these millions of gods, that we should instead simply worship the one Supreme God.

If one is truly religious, he will develop all saintly qualities. But we see that all over the world the so-called religious people are deeply engrossed in sinful activities. Therefore we are wondering when will that happy day come to this planet when those who profess religion will actually become religious.

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

Who is this Krishna?

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.
