Sri Vrindavana Dhama Farwell

Today we are leaving Krishna's most holy abode, Sri Vrindavana Dhama, for preaching in Pune (India), Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Austin (USA), Kansas City (USA), London, Mauritius, South Africa, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, Los Angeles (USA), Romania, Mumbai (India), and New Delhi (India) before returning to this holiest of all abodes on 26 October of this year. Actually we never leave Vrindavan because we always carry this sacred land of Krishna within our hearts. As usual it has been a most uplifting and purifying experience to be in this place where Lord Sri Krishna's most intimate transcendental pastimes are going on eternally. We eagerly await our return to this sacred land and to see again Sarasvati, the sweet peaceful cow, who lives just outside of our door.

Testimonials From Our Satisfied Subscribers

I am a student of Srila Gurudeva for the last five Years and I really feel very lucky and blessed. I have nothing to write about this course except that is just excellent and heart-touching and that Gurudeva's answers are just to the point. Frankly speaking, I just go mad if for some reason Thought for the Day is not uploaded because my day starts by reading Thought for the Day.

My obeisances (pranams) to this great soul.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: What Prompts Man to Sin?

My Beloved master,
Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Although the majority of the world's population are not aware of the results of sin, i.e. intense suffering in dreadful hells, the minority who do have a knowledge of the results of sin also commit sin. So what prompts or influences humans to sin?

Yours Devotedly,
Avinash G.

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
