This Material World is a Bad Neighborhood

This material world is a bad neighborhood in which there is danger at every step. It is not at all a fit place for a gentleman's residence. Everywhere people are engaged in grossly sinful activities like killing cows and killing unborn babies in the womb. Saintly persons are insulted and abused and sinful life is very much glorified and promoted in the media. Therefore there is a great need for a spiritual revolution to completely transform the entire atmosphere.

Request: I Need a Bona Fide Spiritual Master

I am a retired railway employee. Almighty Paramatma has awarded me with every thing to dwell soothly. I have come into contact with so many so-called swamis and saints, but nowhere could I feel tranquility. Paramatma has given me musical art so that I can sing bhajans. He has provided me with the art of flute playing so that I can call him through it. I have gotten the experience of this futile physical world. Prabhu, I do not need the lecturers or any ritual preachers or prophets. What I need is the bona fide spiritual master (Sat Guru) who can enable me to experience Paramatma practically and to enter into the state of immortal joy, i.e. attain the perfectional stage of eternity, knowledge and bliss (sat-cit-ananda).

Please forgive my daring to request, as I am just like an infant child in this field.

At your lotus feet,

Answer: You've Come to Right Place

I am very happy that you have reached the highest conclusion of understanding that you need a bona fide spiritual master. Such a realization is rarely achieved in today's grossly materialistic human society. The good news is that you have come to the right place. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has revealed to us the highest truth, so that now we can reveal that very same highest truth to you and deliver you from all the miseries of material existence, situating you solidly and eternally in the realm of sat-cit-ananda, eternity knowledge, and bliss. When approaching the spiritual master you should inquire submissively and render service unto him. In this way he will reveal the Absolute Truth to you, and your life will become full of bliss. You will attain the Supreme Abode, Krishnaloka, upon leaving your present material body, never to take birth again in this miserable material 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

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.
