You Hold the Key to Unlimited Eternal Bliss

You hold the key to a life of unlimited eternal bliss in your hands. So you have a choice whether you want to use this key or not. You can unlock the door to eternal bliss or you can remain in the realm of eternal misery. By your very nature you are meant to experience the joy of eternal bliss. Therefore to remain in a suffering condition is an unnatural state. So do you want to be natural or do you want to remain in an unnatural condition? If you choose bliss, we will teach you how to use the key to unlock the door. If you are not interested, we will go to someone else. We will not waste our time and your time.

Question: How to Revive My Chanting?

Up until a month ago I was chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra two rounds every day without fail for four months continuously. Of late, I have been suffering from financial crisis very badly and am unable to concentrate on chanting. Please suggest me how to revive my chanting in this situation and how can I come out of this material difficulty.

Yours sincerely

G.R.

Answer: Dive Deeply Into the Nectar of the Name

While the quality of your chanting is most important, quantity is also very important because the more you chant, the more the purifying effect of the holy name will naturally improve the quality of your chanting. Because you were chanting only two rounds per day you were not able to get deep enough into the chanting to transcend the unavoidable dualities of material existence. Therefore when a disturbance came you were not able to handle it. The solution is that you must increase the quantity of your chanting, which will increase the quality of your chanting so that you can better cope with the dualities of the material nature. You should not allow yourself to be psychologically thrown off balance by these dualities, which naturally come and go like the changes of the seasons. It is natural that sometimes we are prosperous and sometimes we are impoverished. If you will dive deeply into the chanting, these dualities will no longer disturb your mind.

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
