The Purpose of My Life

The purpose of my life is to become a pure devotee of Krishna fully qualified to see Krishna face to face and in co-operation with the devotees of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to make the entire world Krishna conscious. I am prepared to take birth after birth in this material world to accomplish this mission, if this is what Krishna desires of me. This purpose of life gives me great happiness and satisfaction because this is what my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada desires of me.

Question: Your View on Advaita Philosophy?

What are your views on advaita Vedanta philosophy?

Shubham Ghanghas

Answer: The Vedic Conclusion, Not My View

It is not a matter of my views. It is a matter of what is the conclusion of the authoritative Vedic scriptures.

Advaita means non-dual. So advaita philosophy, is to see that everything is absolutely one. Advaita philosophy by itself in incomplete, because within the absolute oneness of everything duality or variety also simultaneously exists. For example, there is God and there is also the creation or energy of God. This is duality. It is not everything and everyone is God as the followers of Advaita philosophy propound. The correct understanding of the Absolute Truth is that it is simultaneously advaita (non-dual) and dvaita (dual). This is the sublime philosophy taught by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

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.

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
