Don't Throw Your Life Away

There is one goal and one goal only you should have for your life, that is to become a pure devotee of Krishna. In the grand scheme of things nothing else has any genuine significance. Even if you were by the execution of great penances and austerities to attain the post of Lord Brahma, the topmost demigod in this universe, this would be only temporary, and then you would be dragged down by laws of nature to become a worm in stool once again. Therefore don't waste your time foolishly playing around in misery. Get out of this material existence while you have a golden opportunity in this human form of life. Regain your original identity beyond all the sufferings of this material existence by fully surrendering yourself at the lotus feet of guru and Krishna.

 Testimonial from Navin Sharma 

Testimonial from Navin Sharma
Sriman Sankarshan Adhikari Prabhu's Ultimate Self Realization Course is an ultimate gift for all. Often materialists like me try to run away from the Lord's mercy by giving the most common excuse: I have no time.

Via this course Sankarshan Prabhu has extended his mercy to fallen souls, that now we can keep our connection with Krishna active (with the help of his Thought for the Day and his answers to questions).

It's very common for fallen souls like me or even neophyte devotees to get confused at any step in life. From the knowledge that I have, Sankarshan Prabhu has spent more than 40 years in serving Krishna and serving Prabhupada's mission in the association of devotees.

Getting answers from such a great devotee on the basis of sastras is of immense importance and thanks to him for making it available so easily. It is a matter of fortune for fallen souls like me to connect with Srila Prabhupada's direct disciple so easily.

I again and again thank him for giving his association through the course, and I request everyone to join this course.

The fallen servant,
Navin Sharma

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: What Foods Should I Eat?

Dear Sir,

In the Bhagavad-gita I read that only those who eat sattvic foods are eligible to go back to home, back to Godhead. But I do not know where such foods are available in my city. I also do not know the names of the sattvic foods. Please suggest.

Thanks,
Hariharan

Answer: Only Eat Krishna Prasadam

You should simply take fruits, grains, vegetables, and dairy products that have been offered to Lord Sri Krishna with love and devotee. You must strictly avoid meat, fish, eggs, onions, and garlic. By eating only foods which have been offered to Krishna you will become purified. You will be more healthy, more intelligent, more compassionate, and more happy. Such food is called Krishna prasadam, the mercy of Krishna, because when you offer such foods to Krishna they become transformed from matter into spirit. And when you eat them you consciousness will also be transformed from material into spiritual. So from now on for the rest of your life, don't put any food into your mouth unless it is Krishna prasadam.

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 ...
