You Are Super Special

You are a person that Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is expanding from Himself exclusively for the purpose of enjoying a loving relationship with Him. Therefore you are super special and very dear to this topmost of all personalities. This is why you are doing yourself the greatest disservice if you remain in this material world vainly trying to enjoy separately from Krishna. Why be an insignificant nobody suffering like anything in this material existence when you can instead be a highly significant somebody eternally enjoying an exclusive, sweet relationship with the all-beautiful, all-powerful, all-renounced, all-knowing, all-wealthy, and all-famous Krishna?

Krishna Awaits Your Return to the Spiritual World

Krishna Awaits Your Return to the Spiritual World

Testimonial from Jaga Jiva Jagannatha Das

I have been reading Thought for the Day for several yeas from now. From where I live, I get the post early in the morning. It is almost the first thing that I do before I start my work. The main post which is followed by the Question/Answer section gives me a lot siksha (knowledge, teaching), and this helps me to be in a Krishna conscious mood while at work. It also has a positive influence in how I deal with my office colleagues.

I thank you for your great work that is guiding people like us in understanding the need to take up to devotional service seriously be it preaching or sadhana (practice).

ya idaḿ paramaḿ guhyaḿ
mad-bhakteṣv abhidhāsyati
bhaktiḿ mayi parāḿ kṛtvā
mām evaiṣyaty asaḿśayaḥ

"For one who explains this supreme secret to the devotees, pure devotional service is guaranteed, and at the end he will come back to Me."--Bhagavad-gita 18.68

I am praying Krishna to continue to bless you and all your support staff so that you may help many more people.

Hare Krishna.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: How to Pray for Non-Devotees?

Is there any system of Praying to Lord for people who have not yet surrendered to Krishna so that they can do so?

Regards,

Motwani

Answer: Prayer Prahlada Maharaja's Prayer

Repeat this prayer of Prahlada Maharaja:

svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī

"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Śrī Krishna, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."
— Srimad Bhagavatam 5.18.9

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
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.
