Spiritual Revolutionary Lifestyle

26 May 2015--Today we are taking off on another around-the-world lecture tour. On this tour I will be speaking about Krishna and Krishna consciousness in London, Mauritius, South Africa, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, and Los Angeles. I am very thankful to Srila Prabhupada and Lord Sri Krishna for giving me this blissful, most meaningful spiritual revolutionary lifestyle in which it is natural to be fully absorbed 24 hours daily in Krishna consciousness. I can't imagine any greater boon than this. Indeed, I have been blessed with the ultimate boon. Now it is my duty to as far as possible share this ultimate boon with everyone I meet. They will be greatly benefitted, and I will also be greatly benefitted, because the more you give Krishna, the more you get Krishna.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Is Jesus Christ the Son of Allah?

Is Jesus Christ the son of Allah? And is Allah is the Supreme Person from whom the sun and everything emanates? I know that Krishna is the Supreme Lord. Then how is Allah related to Krishna? And how to explain it to others?

Your servant,

Answer: Name May Be Different, But Substance is Same

Allah is the Arabic word for God. There are many languages in the world. In each of the languages we find a word for God. For example in Spanish the word for God is "Dios." Because the Vedic culture is the most God conscious culture in history, in its Sanskrit language there are thousands and millions of names for God, of which Krishna is the chief name.

The name may be different, but the substance or that which is referred to is the same. For example I may say in English "water" when I refer to that liquid which we all drink. A Spanish speaking person will say "agua." Does this does mean that the substance is different? No. The name may be different, but the substance is the same. When it comes to the many names of God in the many different languages of the world the principle is the same. There is only one Supreme Person, one source for all of existence. He has many, many names but He always remains the same Supreme Person.

Some Muslims nowadays object if non-Muslims refer to God as Allah. This means that they are not well schooled in the science of God. They take God as something sectarian, which He clearly is not. They think that only they have access to God. But He is father of everyone: Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, atheists, etc. Instead of objecting when non-Muslims accept Allah as a name of God, they should be glad that their name for God is gaining universal acceptance.

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 ...
