The Greatest of All Gains

We should not hesitate to fully surrender ourselves to Lord Krishna mistakenly thinking that by doing so we will lose something, because the real fact is that by surrendering to Krishna we will gain everything. How is this so? When we fully give ourselves to Krishna, Krishna fully gives Himself to us. And since all of existence is contained within Krishna, by fully surrendering ourselves to Krishna He becomes our personal property and we become the virtual owners of everything. Therefore when we fully surrender ourselves to Krishna we can never be lacking in any way. We will experience Krishna's shelter as the greatest of all gains.

Question: What is the Life After Death?

Dear Prabhu,

I have always a question in my mind. That is, what is the life after death? What will be happen to my soul? Am I doing the right thing every day? Is my every action correct? If not, how I will come to know whether it is wrong or right? Please clarify.

Answer: Depends on Your Consciousness at the Time of Death

At the time of death the soul will pass into another material body according to his consciousness at the time of death. If he is absorbed in loving devotion to Krishna, he will enter into the spiritual world and remain there eternally as a blissful youth in a beautiful loving relationship with Krishna. If, on the other hand, he is absorbed in some material thoughts, he will take another material body to suffer again birth, death, old age, and disease here within this material world in any one the 8,400,000 different species. Therefore, since death can come at any time, even when we least expect it, we should be careful to always be in a mood of loving service to Krishna in all times, places, and circumstances to guarantee that we will return to His abode after departing from our present bodies.

The art of how to always be absorbed in the mood of loving Krishna or God is learned from the bona fide spiritual master. Therefore you should become the disciple of the bona fide spiritual master and mold your life according to his instructions. In this way at the time of death your entrance into the spiritual world is guaranteed. And you will never take birth again here in this material world.

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
