The Ultimate Paradigm Shift

Lord Caitanya's movement is the ultimate paradigm shift. By His grace what is impossible can easily be accomplished. Even in the midst of the most degraded age of Kali there can a complete, total respiritualization of the entire universe. Indeed, in due course it will become manifested as predicted in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 7, Text 26:

saj-jana, durjana, paṅgu, jaḍa, andha-gaṇa
prema-vanyāya ḍubāila jagatera jana

"The Krishna consciousness movement will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman, a rogue or even lame, invalid or blind."

Those who want to live the most glorious life possible fully dedicate themselves to bringing about this ultimate paradigm shift with their every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances.

Spiritualize the Universe

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version

Question: What is Spirituality?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Would it be accurate to say that spirituality, in general, entails realizing that we are in a state of darkness?

That is to say do other spiritual paths, whether yogic or Mayavada, accept that we are currently in a state of darkness and must now come to know our true nature? If not, how do yogis and Mayavadis view how and why humanity is struggling for existence?

Sincerely,

Joe

Answer: Spirituality and It's Perfection

Yes, true spirituality means to realize that we are in darkness and that we have to somehow or other come to the light.

Simply coming to the light is one level of spiritual realization. But going beyond the light to meet that person who is the source of the light is the perfection of spirituality. This is why those who have the highest knowledge of spirituality pray as follows, as cited in the Sri Isopanisad, Text 15:

hiraṇmayena pātreṇa
satyasyāpihitaṁ mukham
tat tvaṁ pūṣann apāvṛṇu
satya-dharmāya dṛṣṭaye

"O my Lord, sustainer of all that lives, Your real face is covered by Your dazzling effulgence. Kindly remove that covering and exhibit Yourself to Your pure devotee.”

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
