Don't Be a Slave of Your Senses

Don't be a slave of your senses. They are very cruel masters indeed. The reward they give you for a lifetime of dedicated service is old age, disease, and death. Therefore it does not make any sense to give them any more gratification than they require to remain healthy. Especially this applies to the tongue because it is the more voracious of all the senses. One who cannot control his tongue is also not able to control his genitals. Such an uncontrolled person who overindulges his tongue and his genitals becomes very unhealthy, he becomes implicated in volumes of sinful reactions, and he shortens his life. In this next life he will go down to animal kingdom to get a better facility to enjoy his tongue and genitals because the human life is not meant for sense gratification. It is meant for self-realization. If one will exclusive take only Krishna prasadam, his naturally will naturally be controlled, and he will make steady spiritual progress.

Question: How Can Krishna Have Over 16,100 Wives?

Lord Krishna also had over 16000 wives. I can't understand this. Can you explain why this might be so? Thanks.

Somatee G.

Answer: As Easily as an Elephant Picks Lotus Flower

Krishna has unlimited opulence and power. Everything that exists is His expanded potency. Therefore for Him 16,008 wives is a piece of cake. He can easily pull this off with no strain at all to satisfy the desire of His devotees who want to serve Him in the mood of being His wife. He kindly manifests a separate expansion of Himself for each wife so that she never feels like she is sharing Him with 16,007 other wives. Each wife fully has Krishna all to herself. This is the inconceivable potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

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

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
