Heart-Melting Loving Exchanges

In this material world everyone is starved for love because there is no real love here. So much bitterness is tasted in the attempt to experience love that people sometimes denounce love as something bad. If you want to know what is real love, you need to put Krishna in the center of all your relationships. If you do so, you will taste the sweetest nectar in your relationships, sometimes so sweet that you heart will melt and you will cry tears of joy.

Testimonial From Bhakta Shreyas

Testimonial From Bhakta Shreyas
This course is the tidal tsunami wave of Krishna Consciousness evident from the transformation it has brought in the life of so many fortunate souls and if one has yet greater fortune of being able to personally approach and serve the author, His Grace Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari, then one will be further purified by his mood of giving giving and giving. His intense desire to give Krishna consciousness, read in the daily Thought for the Day can be tuned into, especially after his divine personal association which practically exemplifies the teachings of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada at every step indeed, infusing the rest with inspiration.

Therefore, it is my humble request from the readers to take advantage of this mystical course, at least through scrutinizing reading of daily Thought for the Day, followed by personal email inquiries that arise after the meditative reading.

And then preferably take advantage of uploaded preaching schedule, live online lectures, recorded lectures, books, Google groups, etc. in order to be clarified of all questions in a very less span of time and become revolutionized, in service to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: How Do I Get the Desire to Be Initiated?

How do I get the sincere desire to be initiated by the spiritual master? I understand the necessity of being initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, but I don't have a sincere desire to be initiated. What is wrong with me?

Answer: Don't Think the Cure is Worse than the Disease

If someone is sick, he knows that he needs to take medicine. But because the medicine is bitter sometimes he foolishly thinks that the cure is worse than the disease and that it is thus better to stay sick rather than to take the medicine. This is of course is utter foolishness. It is better to undergo a little temporary bitterness and become completely recovered from the disease than to continue perpetually in a diseased condition. If the sick person remains in his foolishness, not using his intelligence, he will need to be scolded by a doctor or a friend to bring him to his senses so he can take the medicine and get well.

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 ...
