Relishing the Sublime Nectar of Sri Vrindavan Dhama

There is nothing in this world more sublime than being in the transcendental abode of Lord Sri Krishna, Sri Vrindavan Dhama. In this amazing transcendental place Krishna is eternally engaged in His transcendental pastimes, which means that they are going on here right now at this this very minute for those who have the eyes to see them. For those of us who are not so fortunate to be able to directly perceive the Lord here engaged in His amazing adventures, we are blessed with the good fortune that hankering to witness these pastimes is as good seeing them. Therefore when one comes to Vrindavan he should intensely desire to connect with Krishna in every possible way: through His name, through remembering His pastimes, through remembering and following His teaching, through obeying the orders received from one's spiritual master, and through serving the Vaisnavas (the devotees of the Lord.)

Question: Will the Material World Ever Be Permanently Destroyed?

My dear Gurudeva,

Will there be any time when all material universes and planets will be permanently destroyed and each and every living entity will go back to home?

Vrutant S.

Answer: There Will Always Be a Need for the Material World

Although the material world goes through repeated phases of manifestation and non-manifestation, it is never permanently destroyed. Just as the government must always maintain a prison for those who are criminally minded, the material world must be always available for those who want to try enjoying independently from the Lord. Although everyone here in this material world will eventually be rectified and go back to home, back to Godhead, since there will always be more jiva souls falling down from the spiritual world, the material world will never become deserted.

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
