Two Step Defeat of Rascal Materialistic Civilization

The first step in defeating the rascal materialistic civilization is to no longer be its follower. You have to start thinking out the box. In other words don't remain a blind follower of a culture that negates your very identity. Instead identity yourself with a culture that reaffirms who you actually are and teaches how to be who you actually are. In this way be a perfect example, a man or woman of ideal character. The next step is to take every available opportunity you get to tell others about the profound teachings of Lord Sri Krishna and the ecstatic lifestyle that follows in their wake. Boldly and enthusiastically take these two steps and you will be spiritual revolutionary whose very presence on this planet will have a profound impact for defeating the rascal materialistic civilization.

Srila Prabhupada Deeply Absorbed in Scriptural Studies

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Shall I Try to Awaken Kundalini?

Thank you very much for clearing my doubts that I have emailed to you. Now may I kindly ask you to let me know if awakening kundalini consciousness is another name for awakening our dormant Krishna consciousness? I submit this question at your feet for your clarification. Also if awakening Krishna consciousness is different than awakening kundalini consciousness, shall I learn to awaken kundalini consciousness also while chanting the Krishna maha mantra?

Thanking you,
Ram

Answer: Chanting Hare Krishna Does Everything

Regarding kundalini consciousness Srila Prabhupada explains as follows in his purport to Srimad-Bhagavatam 4.23.14:

"The aim of this particular system of asana, known as the sitting posture for liberation, or muktasana, is to attain success in kundalini-cakra and gradually raise the life from the muladhara-cakra to the svadhisthana-cakra, then to the manipura-cakra, the anahata-cakra, the visuddha-cakra, and finally to the ajna-cakra. When the yogi reaches the ajna-cakra, between the two eyebrows, he is able to penetrate the brahma-randhra, or the hole in his skull, and go to any planet he desires, up to the spiritual kingdom of Vaikuntha, or Krishnaloka. The conclusion is that one has to come to the brahma-bhuta stage [SB 4.30.20] for going back to Godhead. However, those who are in Krishna consciousness, or who are practicing bhakti-yoga (sravanam kirtanam visnoh smaranam pada-sevanam [SB 7.5.23]), can return to Godhead without even practicing the muktasana process."

Therefore you should understand that kundalini consciousness is a lower level of consciousness for those who are following the muktasana process of self-realization. This system is very difficult and practically impossible to attain in this age of Kali. But if you will sincerely chant Hare Krishna, you will automatically attain kundalini consciousness and all higher stages of consciousness culminating in Krishna consciousness, the perfection of consciousness. So do not waste time trying separately to attain kundalini consciousness. Simply full absorb yourself in Krishna consciousness and attain the supreme perfection very quickly.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
