Eighty-Eight New Lectures Are Now Online

With the help of my disciples, Guru Das and Damodar Das (both from Riga, Latvia), eighty-eight lectures, which I gave between 23 July 2013 and 7 November 2013, are now enhanced and uploaded for your enlivenment and enlightenment. (Of course it is the message which is enlightening and enlivening, not the messenger.) To have had this opportunity to speak about the glories to Lord Krishna to so many wonderful audiences is Krishna's unlimited mercy upon this undeserving soul. This is His kindness upon me to keep me fully absorbed in His service and to give me a wonderful facility for giving Krishna consciousness to others. I am especially indebted to my wife and constant traveling companion, Her Grace Srimati Vishnupriya Devi Dasi, who helps me in many, many ways and to all the devotees who are assisting me in my humble endeavor to give Krishna consciousness to as many people as possible before I leave this world.

Ecstatic Bhagavad-Gita Lecture--Kaunas Lithuania--25 October 2013

Sankarshan Das Ecstatic Bhagavad-Gita Lecture

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Save the Cows?

Hare Krishna
Please accept my humble obeisance at your Lotus feet.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Just one day back I have seen a horrible video in which some people are killing innocent cows and other animals for getting meat. Seriously it was a horrible video and tears started coming out from my eyes. So my question is that why Krishna is not doing anything to save his cows and other animals from these people? For the sake to satisfy their tongue these rascals are brutally killing so many animals daily. Can't we take any initiative to save those animals from these heartless people?

Answer: Fully Dedicate Your Life to Krishna

Since Krishna does not want us to be robots, He gives us the choice to love Him or leave Him. Unfortunately some foolish souls such as ourselves leave Him, trying to enjoy independently from Him here in this material world. It is something like a fish who tries to be happy by enjoying on the land. It is not possible. Such souls who rebelled against the Lord can do any sinful thing for the purpose of gratifying their senses. And often they become so degraded as to kill cows and to kill human babies within the wombs of their mothers by abortion. Therefore Krishna makes every attempt to convince these rebellious souls to abandon their rascaldom and return to His service. He comes to this world again and again to try to save them and also sends His representatives here for the same purpose. So Krishna IS doing something to try to put a stop to the violence. He is now present in the form of ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, to bring the fallen, degraded souls back to His service. Now that He has done His part it is our duty to do our part as well. We must now completely give up our material sense gratification and fully dedicate our every thought, word, and deed for the rest of our lives for pushing forward this Krishna consciousness movement for the deliverance of the suffering world population from the clutches of birth and death. Are you prepared to fully dedicate your life for this purpose?

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
