Everyone is Looking for Eternal Existence

Everyone is looking for eternal existence. The difficulty is that they are all looking it in the wrong places. Many foolishly think that some day we will attain this by the advancement of science. They do not realize that this entire universe in which we are currently residing will be completely destroyed as soon as Mahavishnu inhales. If we tell them this, they simply laugh and say that this is only a myth. Just see the depth of their ignorance. It's like being on the Titanic and telling a fellow passenger that the ship is sinking, who then refuses to believe it and thus refuses to get in a lifeboat and thus drowns.

We are not so foolish. We realize the temporary nature of this material world and we realize the eternal nature of the self. Thus we head straight for the lifeboat of Krishna bhakti to escape the sinking ship of this material existence.

Question: Can Animals Sin?

Are animals, who live by instinct, capable of sin? For instance, does a dog who kills a small child by biting its neck have to suffer a reaction for that particular vicious act?

Sincerely,

Joe

Answer: No, They Cannot

Animals cannot sin. They suffer no sinful reactions for whatever they do. Their animal birth is a sinful reaction for sins committed when they were human beings in a previous birth. By suffering greatly in their animal body they gradually burn off more and more of their sinful reactions so that in the future they will again get the chance of a human birth.

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
