Embrace Unlimited Krishna Consciousness Bliss

Cast off all of your misery right now and embrace the unlimited bliss of Krishna consciousness. Why should you unnecessarily punish yourself for even a single moment longer? You are an eternal spiritual being qualitatively one with God. Therefore there is no need whatsoever for you to continue punishing yourself by misidentifying yourself with the rotting, aging bag of flesh, bones, stool, urine, and blood known as your material body. Throw away all of your unnecessary psychological baggage and celebrate your simply wonderful eternal, all-blissful identity as an intimate personal servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna.

Krishna Wants You. So Why Disappoint Him?


Krishna Wants You. So Why Disappoint Him?

Testimonial From Mrs. Sheela Uday

Guruji's "Thought for the Day" enables a man or a woman to liberate himself or herself from all limiting factors and reach a state of perfect balance, inner stability, mental peace, and freedom from fear and anxiety. Each "Thought for the Day" holds an invaluable new lesson and imparts a new understanding of oneself in a wonderful way. The secret of self-mastery and the way to peace amidst our daily activities and duties--all these and more can be found in this great treasure. Thank you, Gurudeva, for being a guiding light in our lives.

Om namo bhagavate vasudevaya.

Question: Is There Such a Thing as Spiritual Sense Gratification?

My Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble pranam.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Your lecture series on the Nectar of Devotion at the New Vedic Cultural Center in Pune, India on 17,19, and 19 April was very enchanting. The Hare Krishna kirtan you led on the 18th evening after the lectures was sublime. I felt like I was floating in the ocean of devotion. On the 19th night a tinge of sadness was felt at the thought of not able to hear you in person from 20th onwards. But the thought that I can always meet you daily through your e_ course was encouraging.

My question is: Just like material sense gratification exists, does spiritual sense gratification also exist? If so, how to recognize spiritual sense gratification and pure love of Krishna?

Your humble servant,
Makarand

Answer: Engaging the Senses in Krishna's Service

Material sense gratification means to gratify the material senses by giving them whatever they want, such as unrestricted pleasures of the tongue and genitals. Such gratification is the doorway to hell. The poor material sense gratifier is miserable in this lifetime and is destined to become an animal in his next birth. On the other hand, spiritual sense gratification is something altogether different. Spiritual sense gratification means to engage your senses in the service of the master of the senses, Hrisikesa, Lord Sri Krishna. When you satisfy Krishna in this way your senses automatically become satisfied and peaceful, free from all agitation. Therefore those who are intelligent and properly educated shun material sense gratification and intensely absorb themselves eternally in spiritual sense gratification for the pleasure of their beloved Lord Sri Krishna.

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity.
