Ecstatic Arrival in Mauritius

15 June 2016--It was a most glorious arrival in Mauritius because as we came to the terminal exit we were greeted by a sankirtan party ecstatically chanting the holy names of God. Simply by this congregational chanting there will be vast spiritual revolution that will soon envelope the entire earth planet in an ocean of transcendental bliss. This Krishna consciousness movement is the only solution for all the problems of the world. How fortunate we are to have attracted to this movement by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Question: Is Kicking Out Doubts Blind Following?

You told me regarding my doubts to kick them out of my mind. Does it mean that I should ignore all my thoughts and practice Krishna Consciousness without any hesitation? But isn't this blind following?

Your servant,

Answer: Practice Unhesitatingly and Continue Inquiring

Practice Krishna consciousness unhesitatingly, and at the same time continue inquiring until all of your doubts are all cleared up. You should do this because there is no other philosophical system ever devised by any philosopher in history that more thoroughly and completely accounts for every aspect of the reality in which we live.

Of course, we are not blind followers. We are lovers of truth. So if someone can show us a more perfect philosophical system, we will give up Krishna consciousness and follow that instead. But so far after 45 years of my following the path of Krishna consciousness, no one has been able to do that. That’s why, not blindly, but on the basis of intelligent analysis, I accept as Absolute Truth Krishna’s statement that this knowledge which He has revealed in the Bhagavad-gita is the highest knowledge in all of existence. Judging by the results of those who have purely followed this pathway in the past, we can sure that by following the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita we will realize the highest truth and in due course of time be able to personally associate with Krishna or God, face to face, eye to eye.

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?

Image
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.
