Are Devotees Conservative or Liberal?

Some people say that the devotees of Krishna are very conservative because they abstain from illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. But they do not understand that the real meaning of being conservative is to follow rules and regulations blindly without any idea of why you are doing it. In this connection Srila Prabhupada says, "Conservative means unnecessarily you catch some rules and regulation without any meaning or without any utility. That is conservative. In Sanskrit it is called niyamāgraha." The devotees of the Lord are not at all conservative. They know exactly why they engage their senses in a certain way for attaining the highest level of spiritual perfection. They are instead the most liberal. They are not misers because they freely give the highest knowledge of Krishna consciousness to the whole world without asking for anything in return. This liberalness of the devotees is also called magnanimity.

Challenge: You Need to Accept Jesus

Dear Sriman Sankarshan Das Adhikari,

Your your fall occurred because God is calling your attention to give up to Christ, and accept Him as your Lord and Savior.

Only in Lord Jesus Christ do we have salvation, He said very clearly, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but by me."
Best of All,

Andrea

Answer: I Have, But When Will the Christians Accept Him?

I accepted Lord Jesus Christ forty-four years ago when I totally gave myself to God. I'm waiting for that day when the Christians will also accept Jesus. The Bible teaches us to not kill, but these so-called Christians have become very expert at murdering millions of innocent animals every day in the slaughterhouses.

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
