Happy Even When You Are Sick

Krishna consciousness is so transcendental and so wonderful that you can even be happy when you are sick. The first thing is that you understand fully well that you are not your body. This is means that your happiness or lack thereof does not depend on the condition of your body. It simply depends on your consciousness, over which you have complete control and does not have to be influenced by any external situation. If you are thinking of Krishna and being fully dependent on Him, you will be genuinely happy. Otherwise you will not be happy, even if you are in the best of material circumstances. So take complete control of your happiness by always remembering your all-merciful, eternal well-wisher Lord Sri Krishna.

Comment: How Can Krishna Be the Origin of Himself?

Srila Gurudeva, all your instructions and teachings can be realized as truth upon practicing. Whatever doubt I had due to my faulty mind and little brain is getting cleared eventually by your merciful teachings.

Now I know that the facts you are saying which I was not able to realize is only because of my limitation and its not that what you are presenting based on Vedic knowledge you received through disciplic succession is wrong

Please dispel my doubt, in your teachings you mention that Krishna is source of everything including Himself. But if He has to be His source, He should already exist right? How am I to understand that Krishna is the source of Himself.

Please be merciful with this fallen soul.

Answer: Krishna is Not Under the Influence of Time

Yes, Krishna exists eternally, and He has no origin other than Himself. This is not difficult for Him because time is simply one of His energies. It is difficult for you to understand this because you are under the influence time, i.e. past, present, and future. But Krishna being the source of time is not under its influence. Therefore for Him to have always existed with no origin other than Himself is no more difficult for Him than it is difficult to exist while you are reading these words with which I am answering your question.

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
