How to Live in Vrindavan at Every Minute

We are all originally from the spiritual world. Thus no matter how much we may feel attached to our present place of residence here in this material world, this place is not our home. It is not really a very suitable place of residence for us, because here by the stringent laws of the material nature we are forced to get sick, to get old, and die repeatedly birth after birth after through 8,400,000 different species of life. But the good news is that we can get back to our original home in the spiritual world even at the present moment within our hearts by the process of bhakti yoga. This is described in detail in a lecture that I gave in Melbourne, Australia of the evening of 28 December 2017. To hear this lecture click on the link below. You'll be glad you did.

Question: How to Best Serve My Father?

Respected Guru Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to your divine grace.

I beg to inquire from Your Divine Grace how I can do the best service to my father.

Begging your mercy,
Your insignificant servant,
Visvanatha das

Answer: Become Krishna's Pure Devotee

Because a son delivers his father from punishment in the hell called put, the son is called putra, which means the deliverer from hell. There is a sastric verse which clearly says, putro nayati naradeva yama-kṣayāt: "The son saves his father from the custody of Yamarāja."

Lord Nrsimhadeva assured Prahlada Maharaja that in the family of a pure devotee, not only is the devotee's father liberated but his forefathers for twenty-one generations are liberated. Thus when a Vaisnava takes birth in a family, by the grace of the Lord he purifies not only that family but also the families of his previous births.

Thus you should very seriously cultivate pure Krishna bhakti within your heart at every minute. By this method not only will you become delivered back to home, back to Godhead. You will also deliver your father and many generations of forefathers, even from your previous lifetimes, back to home, back to Godhead.

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
