Beyond the Hellish Nightmare

Living in this material world is a hellish nightmare. Since we are all originally inhabitants of the all blissful paravyoma, the spiritual sky, we find such a totally miserable atmosphere to be completely intolerable and unacceptable. Since we cannot accept living in such a place we imagine this material world to be a happy place. Since it is such a horrible place this is the only way that we can tolerate living here. In other words we imagine that we are actually experiencing happiness here even thought factually we are not. But why should we have to compromise our actual happiness? Why should we accept imagined happiness when we can constantly sport in the waves of the ocean of unlimited happiness? We don't have to cheat ourselves like is. We can take shelter of Lord Sri Krishna and His representative, the bona fide spiritual master, and go back to our original all-blissful home in the spiritual sky. Let me tell you. That is real living!

How to become humble?

All my life I have been a person with much pride and without any humility, but since I came to Krishna consciousness, devotees have told me the importance of humility for the spiritual life, I try to be humble but in some occasions my ego wins. Please help me.

Answer: Consider Yourself Lower than Street Dirt

You should be a little embarrassed that you are so proud in spite of being a conditioned soul with imperfect senses and regularly making mistakes. If you want to capture Krishna, you will not be able to do so if you remain puffed up. But if you will become humble, always thinking yourself lower than the dirt in the street, you will capture Krishna. He will become your personal property.

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 ...
