Too Busy Freeing the World to Feel Miserable

Even though the devotee of Lord Krishna is living in this most miserable material world and is therefore also subject to the threefold miseries of material existence, because he is totally absorbed in his mission of freeing the people of this material world from their misery he does not have time to lament over his own personal miseries such as old age, disease and death. In other words because he is totally absorbed in his mission of making everyone happy he does not have even one second available to wallow in his own miseries. Therefore because of his high level of compassion all serving the best interest of all living beings the three types of material miseries cannot touch him. There is no other alternative for perfect happiness except to become such a pure devotee of the Lord.

Testimonial From Haladhar Das

Testimonial From Haladhar Das
I used to be a happy go lucky guy in my school days and used to think that life will be a smooth sail always. But sudden change in circumstances from high school onwards resulting in several physical and mental traumas made me a miserable depressed guy with suicidal tendencies. I just could not cope with the onslaughts of material nature and could not understand why I am being repeatedly kicked by circumstances.

A near death accident with injuries four years back further bewildered me. Searching for the answers, by Lord Krishna's mercy I came in touch with the “Ultimate Self Realization Course” and from then there is no looking back. This was the greatest blessing and most fortunate decision of my life.

Living a depressed life for so many years, I could hardly relate with society. What to say about social dealings, I used to feel nervous even to say hello on phone in office in front of other colleagues. But now within a short span of coming in contact with this enlivening and enlightening course of His Grace Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari ji who by his mercy is my spiritual master now, my depression has paved way to compassion for others and now I am giving Bhagavad-gita lectures in the local ISKCON temple and running a weekly Krishna consciousness program in my house. What I could not had even thought of doing even after 30 years, by mercy of Guru and Gauranga, I am doing in three years and devotees around me too are surprised, that too having a full time job, family and kids to look after.

It is rightly being said,

mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ
paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande
śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, the deliverer of the fallen souls. His mercy turns the dumb into eloquent speakers and enables the lame to cross mountains."

I would definitely recommend everyone to taste the daily nectar of “The Ultimate Self Realization Course”, and kindly tell others to subscribe too and lets make everyone's journey of life successful.

Hare Krishna!
Sincerely yours,

Haladhar Das

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Worship Krishna in One or Many Rasas?

I had a question about rasa. I heard that devotees could serve Lord Krishna in any of the five rasas- in neutrality, as a servant, as a friend, as a parent, or as a lover. Should a devotee worship the Lord in only one rasa or more than one rasa is ok?

Your eternal servant

Answer: Worship Your Spiritual Master

Worshipping Krishna in a particular rasa is only for liberated souls who have attained the perfectional stage of pure devotional to Krishna. Therefore at the present moment in your neophyte stage you have no access to such exalted sort of relationships with Krishna. Lord Caitanya taught us to consider ourselves simply the servant of the servant of the servant of Krishna. So at your stage your rasa is simply to be the completely sold out servant of your spiritual master. It is only by total, complete surrender to your spiritual master and only by his causeless mercy upon you that you will one day fully realize and be fully re-established in your original rasa or relationship with Krishna. And even when you realize your original eternal rasa or relationship with Krishna you will still remain the eternal servant of your spiritual master always worshipping him as your eternal link with Krishna. So focus your energies on you relationship with your spiritual master. In this way you will be able to someday realize what is your svarupa, your personal rasa or relationship with Krishna.

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.
