Pangs of Separation While Leaving Lithuania

Today we are departing from Lithuania. The loving exchanges we have with so many devotees here are so upliftingly wonderful that it is always with pangs of separation we head out from this country, which is so much blessed with so many wonderful devotees. This reminds me of a conversation between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Ramananda Raya which is recorded in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 8, Text 248 as follows:

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked, "Of all kinds of distress, what is the most painful?"
Sri Ramananda Raya replied, "Apart from separation from the devotee of Krishna, I know of no unbearable unhappiness."

This is one of the austerities of being a traveling preacher. There are too many mournful goodbyes. But the consolation is that on the spiritual platform we are packed up eternally together in the service of Lord Krishna, and we will all be together eternally in that wondrous spiritual sky.

Testimonial From Sachipriya Devi Dasi 

Testimonial From Sachipriya Devi Dasi
I was very much fond of the internet. But I did not knew how to use it for Krishna consciousness. One fine day when I was checking my Facebook account. Surprisingly I saw Srila Gurudeva's photo in teachers column.

Immediately I said to my husband here is "His Grace Harikatha prabhu's spiritual master."

My husband asked me, "How did you got it in your account? Did you do something?"

I replied "No."

Then how Srila Gurudeva appeared in the teacher's column as my teacher was the big question mark. After many months I understood how Srila Gurudeva mercifully appeared first in my Facebook account and then into my heart. Srila Gurudeva mercifully implanted pure Krishna bhakti seed in me on 7th September 2014. Though I don't have any qualification. It is only His Grace causeless mercy upon me the most fallen soul. Srila Gurudev mercifully kills all my doubts instantly through Thought For the Day even before I ask questions.

Every day I am eagerly waiting for the new Thought especially, "Answers by Citing the Vedic Version.' On Friday 21st November 2014, Thought For the Day " Krishna will Never let you Down" especially touched my heart. In that Gurudeva explained that Krishna is the one and only person you can trust and of you put your full faith in Krishna you will never ever be bewildered or unhappy in any situation.

I am very thankful to Srila Gurudeva for giving his association daily through "Thought For the Day" and enlightening us with pure Krishna bhakti and giving us true spiritual knowledge throughout the world.

I request all the people on the earth to subscribe this e-course and make your life successful as thousands are doing it.

Thank you,

Your unworthy servant

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Qualties of the Different Incarnations?

Respected master,
Thank you for your earlier reply. I have another few questions

1)I wish to know how many transcendental qualities does Lord Krishna, Rama, Vishnu, Shiva, Brahman and the human beings have?

2) Is Lord Krishna parabrahma? If yes, then like Lord Brahma how can it have a cycle of birth and death? As per my knowledge, Lord Brahma has a life of 100 brahma years and Para-Brahma also has a life ( age I'm not aware).Please guide me specifically on this question in detail

3)What is the order in which all the above mentioned incarnations are placed according to their powers (starting with Lord Krishna)?

Thanking you
Regards

Answer: Only Krishna Possessess All Qualities

There are sixty-four specific qualities mentioned in the scriptures that are possessed by Krishna. Lord Narayana has only sixty of these qualities. Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma have fifty-five of these qualities. And the living entities in general possess fifty of these qualities in small quantity. You can order the above mentioned persons by what percentage of Krishna's qualities they possess.

Krishna is parabrahma, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He lives etenally as as youth. He does not take birth and die like Lord Brahma.

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.
