Super Connected With Krishna on Yamuna Bank

On 29 October 2015 here in Vrindavana Gurumata, my disciples, and I tasted the most unbelievably sweet transcendental bliss. We took two boats and crossed the River Yamuna to have kirtan and Srimad Bhagavatam class followed by a super ecstatic bath in this most sacred of all rivers. The kirtan soared to such a divine nectarean level that it became a like a magnet attracting everyone in the vicinity to join. Then we dove deeply into sublime mellows of Srimad Bhagavatam philosophy to understand the absolute necessity of always pleasing our spiritual master. The necessity of pleasing the spiritual master is elaborated upon by Srila Prabhupada in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 1.13.10 as follows:

"To go to some holy place of pilgrimage does not mean only to take a bath in the Ganges or Yamuna or to visit the temples situated in those places. One should also find representatives of Vidura who have no desire in life save and except to serve the Personality of Godhead. The Personality of Godhead is always with such pure devotees because of their unalloyed service, which is without any tinge of fruitive action or utopian speculation. They are in the actual service of the Lord, specifically by the process of hearing and chanting. The pure devotees hear from the authorities and chant, sing and write of the glories of the Lord."

Following the class we bathed in this most sacred of all rivers. We were all super connected with Krishna. Srila Prabhupada explains that the dust of Vrindavan is also Krishna. There we were seated in the dust of Vrindavana, on the bank of Yamuna diving super deep into Hare Krishna kirtan and Srimad Bhagavatam philosophy in the association our spiritual masters. What could be more sublime than this? This is the perfection of our existence.

Question: Humanists Say We Are Sectarian

Respected Gurudeva, how to respond to those who say they are humanists and Vaisnavas are sectarian?

Mohan

Answer: Humanists Are the Biggest Sectarianists

Ask these humanists why they are so sectarian that they give value only to one out of the millions and millions of species that populate the world, the human species. We Vaisnavas respect all of the species. These humanists are the most sectarian people in the whole world.

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
