Today's Scientists are Mostly Dogmatists

If one presupposes without any open-minded questioning of the nature of existence that there is no God and that nothing that exists beyond gross matter, he is guilty of dogmatism. Unfortunately nowadays such thinkers proudly advertise themselves as scientists. Although they are nicely decorated with PHD degrees and Nobel prizes, they are dogmatists of the worst order. We welcome true scientists who open-mindedly investigate what is the nature of reality. But unfortunately such scientists are rare indeed in today's world.

Question: Is It Sinful to Have Two Abortions?

Is it sinful to have repeated abortions? I have had two abortions in three years of married life. How to overcome this sin? Please guide me, Gurudeva.

A.

Answer: One is Sinful; Two is Even More Sinful.

It is indeed very sinful to have even one abortion, what to speak of two, because abortion means to murder a human being who has taken shelter of your womb. Therefore abortion is the most heinous sinful act that one can commit. The karma for having an abortion is that you will be aborted in your next life. The only way that you can become relieved from the sinful reactions from these two abortions is to fully surrender yourself unto Lord Sri Krishna as His eternal servant. Krishna assures in the Bhagavad-gita that if we fully surrender unto Him, He will take away the reactions to all of our sinful activities.

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
