Tasting Unlimited Bliss Wherever You Are

Melbourne is one of the ultra-sweet spots on our around-the-world lecture tours. It never fails to deliver the nectar. Why? Because there are so many devotees here eager to hear about and chant Krishna's glories. Such an atmosphere is not in the material world. It is in the spiritual world.

You can create this same atmosphere wherever you are all over the world. All you have to do is to become very eager to hear and chant the glories of that most amazing person who has unlimited power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. That person who is within everything and at the same time has all of existence within Him. His name is Krishna because there is no one more attractive than Him. He defeats all other beautiful things by His absolutely unparalled beauty.

Question: Why Don't I Have Any Attraction For Krishna?

I was taking darshan of Sri Sri Radha Krishna in the darshan arati today. Why don't I have any attraction for Krishna? I also do not have any attraction for Krishna's holy names. I am just chanting because Your Grace has asked me to chant, having realized that I am not a devotee at all. I am simply a rascal.

Answer: You Have It, But It Is Deeply Buried

I am very happy that you have realized that you are a not at all a devotee. This is one of the most important realizations to have when one takes up the path of devotional service. Lord Caitanya concluded that He is not a devotee. So what is our position? This realization brings you to point of humility so that you can begin now to cultivate genuine love of God within your heart.

Actually you have attraction for Krishna, but it is simply covered at the present moment by so many layers of lust, anger, and greed that you have accumulated over thousands and millions of lifetimes in this material existence. Through the purificatory process of Krishna consciousness, if you will follow it faithfully and steadily with determination, patience, and enthusiasm under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, you will gradually unearth the sublime treasure of pure love of God, which is presently sleeping soundly within your heart. And you will wake up one day to joyfully discover that you are now unlimitedly attracted to Krishna relishing the sweetest mellows of pure love of God within your heart at every minute.

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 ...
