Keep Up With the Real News

In this material world everyone likes to keep up with the news. They want to know what is currently going on all over the world. For this purpose newspapers and the internet are very popular. What these people don't realize is that this planet is just a tiny little speck within a much greater, more significant reality. If they really want to know what's happening, they should give up their provincialism and keep up with the real news by looking beyond the curtain of the material energy to the vast, unlimitedly amazing spiritual reality of which our puny, insignificant little universe is simply a mere miniscule particle.

Question: Why is Krishna So Specific?

In Bhagavad-gita Chapter 7 Lord Krishna says that He is the heat in fire, taste of water, sunshine of the sun, etc. However Lord Krishna is actually the entire material energy. This means that He is not only the taste, but He is also the water. He is not only the heat, but He is also the fire. He is not only the sunshine, but also the sun because all this is His material energy. He could have just said that He is everything, but still He is giving more importance to specific things. What is the inner meaning of this?

Sincerely,
Mihir

Answer: He is Helping Us to Remember Him

Although in the form of His expanded energy Krishna is indeed everything, He names certain things within His expanded energy that are specifically Him. This is His kindness to help us to solidly fix ourselves in remembering Him. In other words, because He mentions that He is the taste of water, the light of the sun, etc. Krishna is especially manifested in the form of these items in order to give us a mental hook by which we can easily connect with Him.

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
