Why Punish Yourself?

Why punish yourself by remaining a sense gratification addict and being forced by the laws of nature to become a animal like a dog, a pig, or a monkey in your next life? That is not very intelligent. You are meant for something much better than that. Human life is meant for higher intelligence, not dull headed animal-like consciousness. Kick the pernicious laziness, craziness, sense gratification habit by taking shelter of Krishna's holy names and you will enter into the domain of unlimited eternal bliss. If you don't believe me, just take a chance and try it. I can assure you that you will achieve something unlimited millions and billions of times greater than anything else you could ever achieve in this temporary material world, even if you were to attain the topmost position here of Lord Brahma, what to speak of any lesser level of so-called material success such as a billionaire or a famous, powerful person on this earth planet.

Question: Why Demons Are Very Strong?

Please accept my obeisances, Srila Gurudeva,

Why asuras are generally very strong although they do not comply with the laws of God?

Thanks,
Abhiram

Answer: They Soon Lose Their Strength

Whatever strength is possessed by the asuras, those who are demoniac, is simply due to their past pious activities. Because they are presently engaged in sinful activities they are depleting their strength and will soon be reduced to powerlessness. The devotees of the Lord, however, develop unlimited, ever-increasing spiritual strength because they always remain absorbed 24 hours daily in the service of the Lord. This is the why most powerful and influential people in the history are the moonlike devotees of Lord Sri Krishna, not the fools who flaunt the authority of the Lord and are compared to insignificant stars in the sky.

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 ...
