Question: If Someone Claims to Be God

Please accept my humble obeisances.
Deeply obliged to you.

Trying to stay in an ecstatic mood.

As you said that the subtle body remains here in this material world while we go back home back to Godhead. What is the situation in case of impersonalists? I meet many folks and they claim to be Gods during my course of Preaching and says that God is in us and so we are all Gods.

They also say that undoubtedly bhakti marga is supreme, but chanting mantras is not.

Please through some light as to how can I go about enlightening them, and also please tell me of some quotes that comes from Srimad Bhagavatam and Bhagavad-gita that will enable or encourage a devotee to make spiritual resolution for the new year.

Thanks & Regards !!!

Answer: Why Do They Have to Work a Job?

Impersonal realization takes thousands of millions years to achieve. And even after attaining it one falls back again into material existence because there is still some contamination of the subtle body present in one who has achieved impersonal liberation.

If these persons are actually God as they claim, why do they have to work a job to maintain themselves. God is the maintainer of all living beings. You can ask them that if they are truly the maintainer of all living beings, why do they have to work a job in order to maintain themselves. God does not have to report for work on Monday morning.

Their statement, "Bhakti is supreme, but chanting mantras is not," reveals their gross ignorance of the science of bhakti. The prime source of scriptural knowledge regarding the science of bhakti is the Bhagavad-gita in which is stated that those who practice bhakti are always engaged in chanting mantras glorifying the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna.

Everyone’s resolution for the new year should be full surrender to Krishna as the Lord orders us in Bhagavad-gita 18.66.

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Image
Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
