Stresslessness at Enterprise Mauritius

On 6 June 2013, I was invited to give a seminar on stresslessness to an agency of the Mauritian government known as Enterprise Mauritius. This is the governmental agency charged with the responsibility to promote a strong export industry for Mauritian goods. I explained to them that stresslessness is automatically achieved when we put God back in the center of our lives, back where He belongs. As long as we try to keep ourselves in the center, which is an artificial position, no matter how successful we may be, we will ultimately find ourselves in a distressful situation. it is only when we fully dovetail all of our thoughts, words, and deeds with the pleasure of the Lord that we can regain our original natural consciousness of pure unadulterated blissfulness.

Question: Can I Read While Chanting Japa?

Dear Gurudeva,

Accept my pranam to you. I have a question for you. Is it possible to chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra while reading spiritual or general books? if yes, how should I practice it, and if not, then why?

With Regards
Prasenjit S.

Answer: Chant First. Read Later.

Chanting the Hare Krishna mantra on japa beads is a time of intense meditation exclusively on the sound vibration of the mantra. It is not a time for reading books. If you read while you are chanting, you will not be able to give your full attention to the mantra. Thus your chanting will be inattentive and improper. Therefore you should read books only after you have completed your daily Hare Krishna mahamantra japa mala meditation.

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
