The Krishna Consciousness Movement is Authorized

The Krishna Consciousness movement is not a sentimental concocted movement. It is fully authorized by Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to guide the entire human society in the principles of what is a proper life for going back home, back to Godhead. This authority has been carefully handed down through an unbroken chain of disciplic succession beginning with Krishna Himself. This authorized disciplic line is as follows:

1. Krishna
2. Brahma
3. Narada
4. Vyasa
5. Madhva
6. Padmanabha
7. Nrhari
8. Madhava
9. Aksobhya
10. Jaya Tirtha
11. Jnanasindhu
12. Dayanidhi
13. Vidyanidhi
14. Rajendra
15. Jayadharma
16. Purusottama
17. Brahmanya Tirtha
18. Vyasa Tirtha
19. Laksmipati
20. Madhavendra Puri
21. Isvara Puri, (Nityananda, Advaita)
22. Lord Caitanya
23. Rupa, (Svarupa, Sanatana)
24. Raghunatha, Jiva
25. Krishnadasa
26. Narottama
27. Visvanatha
28. (Baladeva) Jagannatha
29. Bhaktivinoda
30. Gaurakisora
31. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati
32. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
33. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's Disciples

When one surrenders to a current link in this disciplic succession he or she also becomes an authorized member of this disciplic succession, fully qualified to go back to Godhead and to train others how to go back to Godhead.

Krishna, the Supreme All-Attractive Personality

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Is It So Hard to Be Detached?

Please accept my humble obeisances

Why is it so difficult to get detached with someone who is very dear and close to us? Is it an offence if we want our dear ones to be always with us? We feel the pain in our heart in spite of knowing that everything is temporary.

Thank you,

Shewtahal

Answer: You are Misidentifying With Your Body

Detachment is very difficult as long as one clings to the false bodily conception of existence. One who sees through the eyes of the scriptures feels an affinity with every single living entity throughout the entire universe seeing the Supreme Lord situated within the hearts of all.

If one sees dear ones only in relationship to his body, he is in the darkness of ignorance. The Vaisnava sees all living beings as dear and therefore dedicates himself fully for delivering all living beings back to home, back to Godhead. This is called transcendental attachment and is a much better consciousness than so called detachment.

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
