Krishna Sends Guru When You Are Ready

In a morning walk conversation between Dr. Patel and Srila Prabhupada in Mumbai, India on 20 December 1975 Srila Prabhupada gave us further insight into just how merciful is Krishna:

Dr. Patel: They say, sir, that if you are very sincere, then the sad-guru comes automatically to you.
Prabhupada: Yes.
Dr. Patel: As you have come to us.
Prabhupada: Yes. Because Krishna is there, if He sees somebody is actually serious to understand Him -- just like Dhruva Maharaja. Dhruva Maharaja, did not..., he did not make any guru, but with fervent desire he went, "Yes, I shall find out Krishna." Mother said "Krishna can be found in the forest," so he went to the forest, and he began according to his own way. Then Krishna sent Narada Muni, that "This boy is very serious. Go and give him real mantra."

Therefore the only thing we require to receive proper guidance on how to realize God is to be sincere. Krishna will then send us the bona fide spiritual master to guide us how to get out of this miserable material existence and gain our original identity in that supremely wondrous spiritual sky.

Question: Gurus Appear Whenever and Wherever Needed?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories unto your divine grace.

I was thinking that not all devotional activity is externally visible. So, there is a possibility that pure devotees descended into different parts of the world to deliver sincere and fortunate souls and then possibly the shifting sands of time covered this up so that we have never heard about these pastimes. Is this correct to understand in this way?

your servant,
Mahabhagavat Das

Answer: When Disciple is Ready Guru Appears

There are great personalities like Narada Muni who can appear at will in any part of the universe to instruct and guide those who are ready to surrender. Such appearances can be known or unknown in recorded history.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
