Everything is In Krishna

Everything is in Krishna. Nothing exists outside of Krishna. This was practically realized by Mother Yasoda when she looked into Krishna's mouth. It is confirmed by Lord Brahma when he states that Krishna's form is endless. Just consider the inconceivable potency of Krishna. He can be in one place engaged in a transcendental pastime while at the same time He is everywhere with everything existing within Him. This is God.

Question: The Deathless Soul Attains Deathlessness?

You recently wrote, "bestowing deathlessness upon two sincere souls by formally initiating them as my disciples." But the Bhagavad-gita says that the soul has neither death or birth. So how is it that one becomes deathless at the time of initiation even though he is already deathless?

Answer: Until Initiation His Deathlessness is Not Realized

It is a fact that the soul is already deathless before one takes initiation. So why then is it said by Srila Prabhupada that one's deathlessness begins from the day of one's initiation? The reason is that even though the soul is deathless, he is still identifying himself with his dead material body until he takes complete shelter of the bona fide spiritual master. In other words, before initiation his deathlessness, although there within him, is not realized. It is only after initiation that his true deathless nature becomes realized. Before initiation he still lives within the realm of mortality. And after initiation he lives in the realm of immortality. Before initiation he is like a fish trying to be happy artificially on the land, and after initiation he is like a fish who is re-established in his natural constitutional position as a creature of the water.

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

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.
