Brutal Murder of Devotee Relatives in South Africa

We have just the received the shocking new that three relatives (two adults and a child) of some of our devotees in our Pretoria temple we were found bound, gagged, and burned to death in a grassy field near here. This is a stark reminder of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur's pronouncement that this material world is not fit place for a gentleman's living. How could someone be so demoniac to commit such ghastly violence against other human beings? It is unthinkable, but yet such things are happening every day on this planet with the permission of our grossly ignorant government leaders. We can understand that such atrocities are fully in the tune with the present day zeitgeist when we remember that we are living in global culture whose governments condone the murders of 66 thousand innocent babies every day in the abortion clinics and 156 million innocent animals every day in the slaughter houses.

So, it's time for a drastic change. We need to bring sanity back to the human civilization. Lord Krishna, please help us to bring everyone back to you.

Question: Can We Preach If We Are Not Perfect?

How can we go out to preach Krishna consciousness to the non-devotees if we ourselves are not perfect?

Question asked in a class in South Africa

Answer: The More You Give Krishna, the More You Get Krishna

The more you give Krishna, the more you get Krishna. So if you will as much as possible share whatever you have realized about Krishna with the illusioned suffering souls of this world, He will bless with more and more realizations about Him. Indeed, He will give Himself to you.

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 ...
