Removing Our Mental Block

On the path of self-realization our mind is the biggest obstacle to achieving spiritual perfection because we think we know everything. But if we can become a little humble admitting our limitations and frailties and hear submissively from the bona fide spiritual master, then we will coquer over this mental block, known as the false ego, and become in due course of time bully awakened in pure love of God.

Question: Moon Landings?

I have a question regarding moon landings. It is written in our spiritual books that no human can go to any other celestial body. But here we have had manned missions to moon successfully. So does this fact means that the information in our books is incorrect and/or does it not invalidate the books entirely as those books are claimed to be written with godly wisdom and knowledge ? Please guide me.

I apologize if I have caused any offence.

Answer: They Never Entered the Moon Civilization

Even if they went to the moon they were not able with their gross material senses to perceive or enter into the celestial kingdom which is present there. It is like landing in a country without being able to clear customs and then being sent back to where you have came from. The moon is a heavenly planet, much more opulent and beautiful than the earth planet. That they only found some dust and rocks proves that they were not able enter into the moon civilization.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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
