Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Do I Feel More and More Ignorant?

Kindly accept my heartfelt gratitude for enlightening us about our inbuilt ignorance. As I attend more spiritual gatherings, read religious books, and listen to lectures I feel more and more ignorant, feeling that I know nothing about Krishna consciousness and wanting to know more and more. Why it is like this?

Further I shall be very thankful if you can elaborate more on Srimad Bhagavad-gita verses 62 and 66 of Chapter 18.

With kind regards,

Answer: Because You Are Becoming Krishna Conscious

I am very happy to hear that you are feeling yourself to be more and more ignorant regarding the science of Krishna consciousness. The reason I say this is that the more you feel yourself to be ignorant, the more you are becoming realized in Krishna consciousness. In other words, the more you become proud thinking you know everything, the more you become a fool. And the more you feel yourself a fool who doesn't know anything, the more you become realized in Krishna consciousness. Even though Lord Caitanya is the prefect knowner of the Vedic wisdom He was chastised by His spiritual master for being a fool who cannot understand Vedanta philosophy. Therefore what is our position? We should always feel that we are fools who do not perfectly understand the Vedic wisdom and humbly submit ourselves before our spiritual master to enlighten us and save us.

The verses of the Bhagavad-gita have already been perfectly elaborated by His Divine A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in his Bhagavad-gita As It Is. Kindly pick up a copy of this most amazing book at your nearest ISKCON center and carefully study Srila Prabhupada's purports to these verses.

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
