Anxiety is Your Best Friend

The greatest resource we have in this material world is anxiety, because when properly utilized it becomes the springboard for attaining unlimited, ever-increasing transcendental bliss. Therefore the most wonderful thing about this material world is that it is a virtual gold mine of unlimited anxieties. Those who properly understand the science of self-realization take full advantage of these anxieties, accepting them as their greatest asset for entering the realm of unlimited happiness.

The formula is very simple. Every time you are in anxiety chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra. The more anxiety, the more chanting. And the more chanting, the more transcendental bliss. Therefore anxieties are most welcome. But you have to actually chant, otherwise the formula does not work. If you simply take this as a mental conception, you will not experience the sublime result. You have to chant, chant, chant as much as possible. You will experience how anxiety is your best friend because it is nothing but transcendental bliss going in disguise. As soon as you start chanting you pull off the mask.

Question: Difference Between Krishna's Will and His Sanction

My dear Srila Gurudeva,

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

Gurudeva, what does it means by Supreme sanction within and without and how to understand this. And how do we understand that the activities done by the SANCTION of Krishna and the activities done by the WILL of Krishna . How do we understand these both terms Krishna's WILL and Krishna's SANCTION. Please enlighten this fallen soul.

Thank you,

Your unworthy servant
N.D.D.

Answer: What He Prefers and What He Allows

The difference between Krishna's will and His sanction is the difference between what He prefers and what He allows. Krishna will or preference is that we should fully surrender to Him right now. But as our loving father, out of His affection for us, He will sanction or allow us to be facilitated with all of our necessities of life even if we do not agree to surrender ourselves to Him.

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 ...
