The World's Greatest Movie

On 29 June 2017 shortly after we landed in Los Angeles from a 20 hour flight from Australia, my disciple Bhaktavatsala Das drove my wife and I to a nearby movie theatre to watch a showing of "Hare Krishna, the Film." It was a truly a super exhilarating experience. Srila Prabhupada is truly present in that amazing film. One can feel a very strong connection with Srila Prabhupada when seeing that film. And the more we feel connected with Srila Prabhupada, the more we become Krishna conscious and qualified to go back to home, back to Godhead. What could be sweeter than this? Therefore we encourage everyone to see this movie when it comes available in your part of the world.

Why can't we be God?

Questions asked by a child in Melbourne, Australia

Answer: We Cannot Manifest All Existence from Ourselves

God is that person who is the source of all existence. He is the fully independent cause of all causes. We exist only because He is manifesting us from Himself. We cannot exist independently from His manifesting us. Since we are all fully dependent upon Him for our very existence it is not possible for us to be God, the source of all existence.

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 ...
