Prime Necessity of Human Life

The prime necessity of human life is to realize one's eternal relation with the Lord and thus surrender unto Him without delay. Any another course of action for the human being is suicidal. And there is not much more to be said in this connection. Therefore everyone should become serious about awakening their dormant Krishna consciousness as soon as possible. There is no alternative to this way for man.

Question: Did Jesus Teach to Speak Truthfully?

Do you agree that Jesus taught his followers to speak truthfully and that Jesus himself only taught the truth?

Do you agree that Jesus said the two greatest commandments were:
"Love God with all your heart mind soul and strength" and "Love your neighbor as yourself?"

Yours truly,

Answer: All Great Acharyas Teach This

It is a fact that Lord Jesus Christ and all the great acharyas (spiritual masters) speak truthfully and train their followers to also speak truthfully. This is absolutely essential for anyone who is serious about attaining genuine happiness in life. They also teach us the most important lesson of all, which is to love God. When one truly loves God, not just in name only, he also automatically loves all of God's children, not just his neighbors. Therefore these great spiritual masters teach us to be compassionate to all of our brothers and sisters, even those with four legs, wings, and fins. That's why we don't eat them.

In this connection in the Bhagavad-gita Lord Sri Krishna teaches us that the humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle priest, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater. Therefore love for all beings is one of the symptoms of those who are actually saintly.

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
