It's All There in Krishna's Name

There is no sense looking here or looking there, going here or going there to try to find pleasure in this material world for there is none. It simply does not exist here. Only the illusion of pleasure exists in this condemned world. So if you want real pleasure and satisfaction you have no option except to turn to Krishna, who is the reservoir of unlimited pleasure and satisfaction. How to connect with Krishna is not difficult. In this age of Kali Krishna is most accessible in the form of His holy names. Therefore if you will chant the Hare Krishna mantra with focus and devotion, you will experience genuine spiritual happiness beyond all the suffering of material existence. You will finally understand and realize the real purpose of your existence.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Be Krishna Conscious in a Hectic Lifestyle?

It is extremely difficult for anyone who is having a lifestyle with hectic schedules to practice Krishna consciousness. What would you advise?

What is focus of mind and how to utilize it for God/Krishna?

Who is greater, circumstances or Krishna?


Regards,
P.R.

Answer: Do You Not Eat When Life Gets Hectic? Feed Your Soul.

Are you so busy that you do not find time to eat? No, you find time to eat because you have to eat in order to survive. But are you that body? No, you are not that body. Therefore even more important that feeding your body is feeding your actual self, the soul within. Consequently, if you are going to actually survive in the real, most potent form of the term, you absolutely must feed your soul. The conclusion is that just as you prioritize feeding your body, if you have real sanity, you will even more prioritize feeding your soul and you will find a way to squeeze in the practice of Krishna consciousness into your hectic schedule just as you always find a way to eat.

Focus of mind means to always remember Krishna and see everything that you experience in relation to Krishna.

Since Krishna is ultimate orchestrator of all circumstances, the orchestrator is obviously greater than the orchestrated. Otherwise, how could He orchestrate it?

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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.
