Buried Alive in an Avalanche of Anxieties

What to do if you find yourself buried alive in an avalanche of anxieties? How to escape it to become completely free and happy? Is there a way out? Or do you just have to keep on suffering for an unknown period of time until your sinful karma is burned away and you can finally get a little relief? The answer is that you can immediately escape if you have unflinching faith in the words of the spiritual master and in the words of Krishna as spoken in the Bhagavad-gita. If out of pride you choose to not put your faith in the words of guru and Krishna, then you remain entangled in the miserable cycle of birth, death, old age, and disease for countless lifetimes. So don't be a fool. Do yourself a favor. Hear from the spiritual master submissively and inquire from him until all of your doubts are dissipated. This will liberate you.

Question: How is Jesus the Absolute Truth?

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and to you

On 30th May 2014, you wrote, "We have no problem accepting that Jesus and Allah are the Absolute Truth". In other time you told that Jesus is the son of God. Then how Jesus is the name of the Absolute Truth?

Saswata

Answer: Because He Purely Represents God

Because the bona fide spiritual master purely represents the Absolute Truth he is considered to be the personification of the Absolute Truth. In other words, the son of God is as good as God because he always purely represents his father. The one who purely teaches the message of God is as good as God because when you come into contact with him, through him you come directly in contact with God.

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 ...
