Absurd USA Plan to Attack Syria

At the present moment the USA government is planning to launch a missile attack against the Syrian government for its alleged killing of 1,429 of its own citizens by poison gas. When we take into consideration that the USA government is sanctioning the killing of more than 3,000 babies in the USA everyday by abortion, the idea of attacking Syria becomes absurd. This is the height of hypocrisy. If the USA government leaders feel it is wrong for a government to sanction the mass killing of its own innocent citizens, they should set the example of not sanctioning the killing of their own citizens. As devotees of Krishna we know that one must himself first be ideal before asking others to be ideal.

Question: Can You Help Me Find My Guru?

Holy sir, I appreciate your swift response to my previous question. I am searching for my guru. Would it be possible for your good self to help me out in my search? Although my family is attached to Islam, still I can be spiritual and get prepared to go back to God. By the way, I chant every day 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala.

I shall keep you posted for guidance and further progress.

Regards,

A.M.

Answer: See Who Can Guide You the Bhakti Path

Modern day followers of Islam usually object to the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra. So I am very happy to learn that despite your being from an Islamic family you are able to chant 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala every. Kindly note that the word "Islam" is derived from the Arabic root "Salema", which means peace, purity, submission and obedience. So in the religious sense Islam means submission to the will of God and obedience to His law. This is the very essence of Krishna consciousness. This means that when one surrenders to Krishna he is actually the perfect follower of Islam.

Regarding your very important question: The spiritual master is the person that Krishna says you should inquire from to learn the science of Krishna bhakti. So you have to see who is that fixed up devotee, advanced in Krishna consciousness, who is available to answer your questions and guide you on the path of Krishna bhakti. This is the person whom you should accept as your spiritual master.

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
