Know Who You Are and Be Who You Are

Our philosophy is very simple: Know who you are, and be who you are. This is the simple formula how to achieve unlimited peace and happiness within your heart and how to become fully empowered to render the highest service to all living beings by reconnecting them with their actual selves. I am therefore praying intensely to Lord Krishna that everyone in the world can now understand that they are the eternal servants of Krishna and become practically engaged in His pure devotional service.

Question: Krishna Consciousness in Thailand?

Hare Krishna, Srila Gurudeva,
Kindly accept my humble obeisance
Humble obeisance to Srimati Gurumataji also
And all glories to Srila Prabhupada,

Thank you for the daily Ultimate Self Realization broadcasts.

Right now I am at a trip to Thailand with my family, and I have a curiosity question. This place is a lot about Lord Buddha. So if I may inquire from Your Grace, what Krishna conscious percentage people in general are possible here?

Your humble student and servant,

Shivani

Answer: All Buddhists are Indirectly Krishna Conscious

Although Lord Buddha is actually Krishna Himself, He taught an atheistic philosophy in order to stop the people of India from slaughtering animals. He would have taught theism, but the people at that time were so degraded that they would not be able to accept God. So out of kindness upon the suffering animals He simply taught a philosophy of non-violence and induced the people to follow Him.

Since Lord Buddha is Krishna Himself the followers of Lord Buddha are already Krishna conscious, but in an indirect way. Simply now we have to educate them to understand that their beloved Lord Buddha is actually Krishna Himself. This will create an amazing spiritual revolution within the Buddhist 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
