Ecstatic Excursion to Klaipeda

On 20 October 2014 we traveled 213 kilometers from Kaunas in the interior of Lithuania to the coastal city of Klaipeda situated on the west coast of Lithuania on the Baltic Sea. We go to Klaipeda twice a year, and it is always really ecstatic. We always have super enlivening kirtans and the devotees there are very enthusiastic to hear and to inquire about this amazing liberating science of Krishna consciousness. I can't imagine any life more glorious and blissful than a life of Krishna consciousness. I pray that the entire world can now be awakened in Krishna consciousness.

Transcendental Bliss in Klaipeda, Lithuania--20 October 2014Sankarshan Das Transcendental Bliss in Klaipeda, Lithuania

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: What Does a Soul Do After Moksha (Liberation)?

Dear Master,

Here are my few questions. Please provide some light to understand.

What does a soul do after moksha (liberation)?
Does the soul fall from God's Abode? If so, why does he fall?
Is the universe created for the fallen souls to find Moksha through different jivas or to fulfill their karma? If so, will there not be any more material world is all the souls attain moksha?
What does the soul do when he does not have a body?

With Love

Answer: He Serves Krishna Eternally in His Transcendental Abode

After moksha or liberation the soul engages in the loving service of Lord Krishna in His transcendental pastimes in the spiritual sky.

Fall down occurs when one becomes envious of the Lord's position as the Supreme.

The soul finds liberation when by the mercy of Lord Sri Krishna he comes in contact with a bona fide spiritual master who plants the seed of bhakti in his heart and inspires him to nurture that seed by hearing and chanting the glories of the Lord.

This material world is the merciful arrangement of the Lord to reform those who foolishly became envious of Him.

Karma is an endless trap, which goes on fulfilling itself ad infinitum. One has to get out of the karma trap by surrendering oneself to Lord Sri Krishna.

Just as the prisons are always full even though prisoners are being regularly released, even if all the souls in the universe attain deliverance from birth and death and go back to spiritual sky, a new set of fallen souls will take their place.

When the soul is liberated he manifests a spiritual form, which never gets sick, never gets old, and never dies.

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
