The Perfection of Sense Gratification

Even though one may fully absorb himself in material sense gratification his senses will still never become fully satisfied. Krishna declares in the Bhagavad-gita that the senses are never satisfied and they burin like fire. However, if one will engage his senses in the service of the master of the senses Hrisikesha, Krishna, his senses will become fully satisfied. So why waste time engaging oneself in material sense gratification? It is better to engage the senses fully in Krishna's service and thus become fully peaceful and satisfied. This is real intelligence.

Question: How to Get Taste from Chanting Hare Krishna?

I wrote to you some time back regarding how to read Srila Prabhupada books, and you recommended me to read in a systematic manner and make a summary of chapter, and it was really helpful, at least I could get the main message.

Can you also please help me with the chanting, I find it really difficult to chant even 2 rounds, and experience nothing after chanting. So how to experience taste and reach a level of 16 rounds quickly.

Please help.

Answer: Follow Lord Caitanya's Instruction

One trick for getting to 16 rounds quickly is to not take prasadam every day until your rounds are finished.

Lord Caitanya has revealed the secret for getting taste from chanting in the following prayer:

"One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly."

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
