How to Be Purely Good

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version

Question: Are Cows Superior to Human Beings?

As we transmigrate from one body to another, does a spirit soul get a cow's body ? If yes, wouldn't that be superior to the human form since the cow is considered in the Vedic wisdom as one of the seven mothers?

Regards,
Rishikant Sharma

Answer: Human Life is the Highest Form

Yes, the cow body is one of the forms that we take when we are transmigrating in the cycle of birth and death. The cow is one of our seven mothers because we drink her breast milk after we no longer suck our mother’s breast. This, however, does mean that the form of a cow is a higher form of life than that of human being. While the human being has sufficient intelligence to inquire about what is the ultimate purpose of existence, the cow has only sufficient intelligence to inquire where is there grass to eat. Therefore the human form of life is a more highly evolved life form. The human being can choose to rise above his animal instincts by surrendering to Krishna and thus become fully qualified to go to home, back to Godhead upon leaving his present material body. The cow does not have intelligence to do this and thus remains caught up in the cycle of birth and death.

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
