The Perfection of Religion

I've taken seriously to the essence of all spiritual paths (both Eastern and Western). Religion is actually one because there is only one source for all of existence. Therefore, the perfection of religion is to live in a state of perfect harmony with that one source of all existence. By careful analysis it can be concluded that the one source of existence must indeed be a person and must necessarily be the Supreme Person. So to come into a state of pure loving relationship with that Supreme Person is the perfection of religion. This is the science of religion and it applies equally to Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc.

Answer: Sixteen Rounds of Japa and Avoiding Sin

I am very happy that you want to become initiated. According to the great authoritative text on Krishna bhakti, the Nectar of Devotion, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhuapda, initiation is a prerequisite for one to be fully accepted by Krishna as His devotee and to thus become qualified to regain one’s original position in the spiritual world at the time of leaving his present material body.

The qualifications for being initiated are that one must be solidly fixed in chanting at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mahamantra every day on japa beads along with the strict avoidance of illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. I will initiate as my disciple anyone who meets these qualifications, and by so doing will accept the full responsibility for delivering that disciple back to home, back to Godhead by properly training them in the science of bhakti.

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
