Everybody Needs Someone to Love

Everybody needs someone to love. This is the most basic psychological need of everyone. Nobody can be happy or satisfied without having someone to reciprocate love with. This is why if someone has no one else they will be keep a dog or a cat. We all crave love, and we all want perfect love with a person who will not cheat, neglect, or abuse us in any way. Because in this material world, we are all more or less self-centered, none of us are able to perfectly reciprocate love with others. Therefore to become satisfied in love we must offer our love to the Supreme Person who is the source of all existence. Many people call Him God, which denotes His position as the Supreme Controller. We are most fortunate to know His most intimate personal name. We know that He is Krishna. And that person who teaches how to overcome our selfish nature and love Him purely is the bona fide spiritual master.

Question: Are Spirituality and Religion Different?

First of all would like to thank you for enlightening us with your daily thoughts to keep our minds on the track of devotional service with faith. Whenever, there is a question mark in my mind about my existence, efforts to chant my rounds, and other problems in my life your mail answers it directly as if you know, I need it. Thank you very much for your guidance.

I don't understand much of the philosophy of devotional service because of my limitation in thought process. However, I would request you to please help me to understand the difference between spirituality and religion. Are they same or different and how ?

Answer: Genuine Religion and Spirituality Are the Same

Genuine religion and spirituality are one the same. But the pseudo-religion that masquerades nowadays as religion is in fact a covered form of materialism. The pseudo-religionists worship God, but they do it for a material purpose to advance their material sense gratification. Therefore they are not true religionists or spiritualists. They are instead pseudo-religious materialists.

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
