In this way in all situations the devotee continues increasing his transcendental Krishna consciousness bliss more and more and more.

Question: How Can the Super Conscious Exist?

Venerable Shri Sankarshan Das Adhikari,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

The heart pleads to answer these questions: What was present before me? What is there behind me? What was present before I came into existence?

It is an agony, because there is no way to be communicated. What was before me, neither speaks nor sees. I think what is behind me is the unconscious mind. I don't think I can voluntarily step back to peep into it. I think it is up to the unconscious mind to pull me and absorb me into itself.

In the same context I wish to ask you: How can there be anything beyond the unconscious, what has been termed as super conscious? It just doesn't make sense. Either I'm conscious, subconscious, or unconscious. What does super conscious imply? I ask this question, because I presume that the planet Goloka is a super conscious state, described as the Lord's eternal past-times.

In all readiness to believe whatever answer is given,

Krishna Chaitanya

Answer: The Superconsciousness is the Source of Everthing

From: En Route to Malaysia

My Dear Krishna Chaitanya,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

There is no such thing as “before your existence.” Krishna clearly states in the Bhagavad-gita that just as He is eternally existing, so all of us are eternally existing. In other words, we are eternally emanating from Him.

Krishna is the Superconsciousness since He is fully conscious of everything past, present, and future throughout all of existence.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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 ...
