Whatever Srila Prabhupada Wants

I have fully surrendered my eternal existence to my most beloved spiritual master, His Divine A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. This means that I am prepared to do whatever he wants to do for all of eternity. If he wants me to come back to Krishnaloka, Lord Krishna's planet in the spiritual world, after I leave my present body, I am ready. And if he wants me to take birth after birth in this material world for giving Krishna consciousness to the suffering souls here who are painfully caught up in the cycle of birth and death, I am ready. This is my ecstatic eternal existence to go on forever serving my spiritual master's mission whether I am heaven or I am in hell. My only desire is that I may never forget that I am the eternal disciple/servant of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Answer: Serve His Spiritual Master's Order?

Lord Maha-Vishnu's position can be understood from Brahma-saṁhitā Text 5.48 as follows:

yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśeṣo
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

"Brahma and other lords of the mundane worlds, appearing from the pores of hair of Maha-Vishnu, remain alive as long as the duration of one exhalation of Maha-Vishnu. I adore the primeval Lord Govinda of whose subjective personality Maha-Vishnu is the portion of portion."

Compassion for all living entities is to give them Krishna consciousness.

The real duty of the devotee lifetime after lifetime is to do whatever his spiritual master instructs him to do.

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
