Beware of Lust

Lust or sex desire is the most dangerous enemy of the living being. When one becomes lusty he completely forgets his spiritual identity and becomes locked 100% into bodily consciousness intensely desiring the stimulation of his genitals as his only business. Such lusty consciousness is the worst of all hells because it completely kills one's Krishna consciousness. Therefore with a cool head, a thoughtful intelligent mind, one should carefully and stringently detach himself from sex desire so that he can relish the only real pleasure in all of existence, to be fully and deeply absorbed in a loving, serving relationship with Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is the pathway of unlimited bliss completely beyond the pinches of the material nature.

Question: Difference Between Demons and Inimical Non-devotees?

Is there any difference between demons and non-devotees who are inimical towards Krishna Consciousness?

Vandana

Answer: Demon Means Inimical Towards Krishna

Demon means inimical towards Krishna. Anyone who is inimical towards Krishna consciousness possesses a demoniac mentality. Factually all living beings throughout all of existence are devotees. Simply they have forgotten it while they are temporarily covered by the material energy. When they are in the covered state of being hateful towards Krishna they are designated as demons. But by the association of the saintly devotees of the Lord, such demons will gradually regain their original natures and become devotees once again. This is our mission, to turn all of the demons into devotees.

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
