Lord Caitanya's Spiritual Renaissance

At the same time of the so called Renaissance in Europe the real renaissance of Lord Caitanya was taking place in India. Lord Caitanya taught that simply by chanting the holy names of God, dancing in ecstasy, and feasting on sumptuous Krishna prasadam one can achieve the supreme perfection of going back to home, back to Godhead. He completely revolutionized the India sub-continent with the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra. His spiritual renaissance was then distributed all over the world by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada through the medium of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which is now the process of completely revolutionizing the entire human society.

Lord Caitanya's Revolutionary Sankirtana Movement

Lord Caitanya's Revolutionary Sankirtana Movement

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Do Innocent People Suffer?

I understand that Lord Krishna is all-powerful, and I have absolute faith in Him. Why does the Lord not stop all the torture and killings of innocent people in the world? Why do innocent people have to suffer even if they don't commit sins?

Thank you for your help.

Answer: No One is Innocent

Lord Krishna has come to stop the torture and killings. He has advented in this age of Kali as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to purify the wicked atmosphere of this age and make everyone happy. It is up to us to fully surrender ourselves to assisting the Lord in His mission laying aside all material considerations. Are you prepared to do that?

Kindly note that no one is innocent. Everyone is suffering and being rewarded for their previous impious and pious activities. The wonderful benediction of Lord Caitanya's movement is that simply by chanting Hare Krishna and surrendering to the bona fide spiritual master in disciplic succession from Lord Caitanya one becomes liberated from all of his karmic reactions and attains the ultimate perfection of self-realization, pure prema bhakti.

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.
