Are You Prepared for Death?

Death can come at any moment. Especially in this grossly sinful age of Kali, sudden unexpected death is quite common. If one is fixed in Krishna consciousness, he has nothing to fear from death. For him death is actually a blessing. He gets promoted to a better situation in which to serve the Lord. This can be compared to an employee of a company who gets promoted to a much better position by his employer. The trick is to always be prepared for death at every moment by always keeping yourself engaged 24 hours daily in the service of the Lord. This art is learned from the bona fide spiritual master and is successfully practiced in the association of devotees.

Question: Why So Difficult to Give Up Egocentrism?

Dear Master,

Please, accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Why is so hard to decrease our being in the center tendency?

Your eternal servant,
Gabriele

Answer: Deeply Ingrained Since Time Immemorial

Since we are habituated since time immemorial to place ourselves in the center instead of Krishna, it is not easy to all of a sudden give up this now deeply ingrained tendency. But since originally we are pure devotees of Krishna, if we adopt the proper remedial measures under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, it becomes easy to come back to our original, naturally pure nature.

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
