he World Needs Krishna

Now more than ever before the world society needs Krishna because without Krishna consciousness whatever is left of the human society is rapidly disintegrating more and more with each passing day. Krishna is indeed the center of all existence. Therefore when we are connected with Krishna we are connected with the ultimate existential powerhouse and everything runs very smoothly. And as soon as we disconnect from Krishna ever-increasing chaos ensues.

Question: Looking for a Spiritual Master

I am looking for a spiritual master to guide me because I would like to do more work with Krishna Consciousness. I thank you for any assistance you can give me and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Kathiresan

Answer: Follow These Guidelines

I am very happy that you are looking for a spiritual master to guide you how to increase your Krishna consciousness because this is precisely what Krishna orders us to do in the Bhagavad-gita 4.34:

tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ

"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth."

You first step is to regularly attend lectures, aratis, and kirtans at your nearest ISKCON temple and carefully study the writings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Along with this you should be chanting Hare Krishna mantra japa and avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, gambling. Kindly write me back and explain to me in detail about your spiritual practices so that I can guide you how you can make steady spiritual progress for attainting the ultimate goal of pure love of Godhead.

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.
