Bible Wisdom is Derived from the Vedic Wisdom

One of our readers from India just cancelled his subscription. The reason he gave for this was that the Bible says to meditate on the word of God. He was thinking that what we are teaching is not the word of God. Thus he revealed his gross ignorance as to what is actually the word of God. The original word of God in this world is the Vedic wisdom, which is what we are teaching. This was originally revealed trillions of years ago. The Bible that he follows came much, much later only a mere 2,000 years go after Jesus Christ spoke his teachings. This Jesus did after coming back to Israel from India, where he had learned the Vedic wisdom from the sages there. The same principle of full surrender to the will of God as stated in the Bhagavad-gita is also found in the Bible. Since the wisdom of the Bible is derived from the Vedic wisdom, it is also Vedic wisdom and is also true. The trouble comes when the meaning of the Bible is twisted to justify sinful activities like killing animals to eat them when the Bible clearly states that we must not kill.

Question: Meaning of Offering the Results of Our Work to Krishna?

Hare Krishna. Thanks for answering my query. What does "offering the results of our work to Krishna" mean." Sorry for my ignorance. Actually I know what it means literally, but I really do not know what it truly means. Hence thought of asking.

Much appreciated.
Hare Krishna.

Answer: For Example: Donate Your Earnings to ISKCON

This means, for example, to offer the results of my job, i.e., the money I earn, to Krishna, to not use even one paisa for material sense gratification. This means that as much as possible of my hard-earned money should be donated to the Krishna consciousness movement for the highest welfare activity of spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world. Of course, some money is required for personal maintenance. Therefore that money must also be used only in Krishna's service according to the instructions that He so mercifully gives in the Bhagavad-gita. For example, in the Gita Krishna teaches us that we should only eat vegetarian foods which have first been offered to Him love and devotion. This rule must be strictly followed. Otherwise we are eating lumps of sin. Any spending of money that is not done in Krishna’s service is paving our way to hell.

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
