Always Stay Connected with Lord Caitanya's Mercy

Mayapur is situated in the heart Navadvipa Dhama, the site of Lord Caitanya's transcendental pastimes. Navadvipa Dhama is described as follows by Bhaktivinode Thakur in his Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmya:

"The dhama is eternally perfect, fully spiritual, and unlimited. Those whose intelligence is tinged with dull matter cannot approach there. But, under the influence of the hladini-sakti the energy governing bliss, the living entities give up material paths and by the strength of perfect knowledge attain their eternal spiritual activity of devotional service. The whole of Navadvipa is a spiritual manifestation, for at this holy place Sri Gauranga performed His transcendental activities.

Today after two wonderful weeks of being unlimitedly blessed by residence in this most sacred place of munificence from where a tidal wave of love of God is emanating forth inundating the entire universe, we are heading out today back to Austin, Texas USA where we will be soon celebrating Gaura Purnima, the transcendental appearance day of Lord Caitanya. Being in Mayapur means being in direct contact with the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And acting as an emissary of Lord Caitanya to give his mercy to others also brings us into directly contact with His mercy wherever we may be within the three worlds. Therefore both by spending time in Mayapur and by spreading Lord Caitanya's mercy, which is billowing forth from Mayapur, we can always stay connected with the mercy of Lord Caitanya relishing and distributing the sweetest transcendental bliss. The insider's secret in this connection is that the more you distribute the bliss, the more you taste the bliss, and the more you taste the bliss, the more you become empowered to distribute the bliss.

Question: Is Krishna Selfish?

My dear Gurudeva,

Krishna offers us life completely without miseries only if we serve Him. But as soon as we leave His service He puts us in most abominable condition. Doesn't this prove His selfishness?

Vrutant S.

Answer: No. We Are Foolish

The fish is in a happy position as long as he stays in the water. But as soon as he leaves the water to try to enjoy artificially on the land, this proves that he is fool number one. Therefore instead of thinking that Krishna is selfish we should understand how foolish we are to have left His service.

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
