Krishna Conscious and Lovin' It

Krishna consciousness is so wonderful that it empowers you to handle anything and everything that the material energy can throw at you. Even the heaviest trial of all, death, is a piece of cake for one who is fixed in Krishna consciousness. Every day is an exciting opportunity to dive deeper and deeper into the sublime mellows of Krishna bhakti. Once people wake up and realize what they are missing by not being Krishna conscious the whole world will take to this Krishna consciousness movement. Until then they will just keep suffering on, the poor souls!

Question: How to Be Krishna Conscious at Work?

I have a question. To do everything in loving service to God for His pleasure, what does this mean? How to implement it in daily lives? For example I'm an accountant, so how can I work in loving service to God? What should I think whole day?

Thanks a million for your kind guidance.

Answer: Just As Arjuna Fought the Battle of Kurukshetra

To fix yourself in the proper state of mind for offering your day to Krishna, you should begin your day by chanting at least 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala before you go to work. You should only eat Krishna prasadam (foods offered with love and devotion to Lord Sri Krishna). And you should strictly avoid illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. If possible, at your work place you should post a beautiful picture of Krishna at your desk and also keep a copy of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is at your desk so that during your break time you can read some words of wisdom from Lord Sri Krishna and His pure devotee, Srila Prabhupada. And then whatever money is earned from your job you should not think that it is your money. You should understand that it is Krishna's money and only spend it for His service, not for any kind of material sense gratification. In this way, just as Arjuna was able to remain fully immersed in Krishna consciousness even while fighting in the battle of Kurukshetra, you will also be able to remain fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness even while fighting your own personal daily battle of Kurukshetra at your accounting office.

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
