All Glories to Srila Prabhupada

Srila Prabhupada saved me. I was a super idealistic youth during the 60's and early 70's, America's counter-cultural era. My life was dedicated to bringing about a love and peace revolution on planet earth. But the problem was that due to my being entangled in material sense gratification I was lacking these things myself. How could I bring love and peace to the world when I do not have these myself? But due to the sweet kindness of His Holiness Vishnujana Swami I was able to appreciate the necessity of becoming a disciple of the bona fide spiritual master. Thus I was accepted by Srila Prabhupada as his disciple on 12 August 1971 and was given the name "Sankarshan Das." Years later I read in Srila Prabhupada's books that Sankarshan means one attracts everyone. I was delighted with this discovery because my goal in life is to attract the whole world to Krishna consciousness.

Appreciation: Thank You For Your Song Album

Dear Gurudeva!
Hare Krishna!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Happy Janmastami! Please accept my sincere obeisances and best wishes! May your method be successful, your path blessed and happiness ever-increasing!

Thank you for your song album! It sounds like coming from a little boys heart, seeking for approval and unconditional love, and looking for shelter in something bigger, in Krishna confidence. Please love this little boy in you! This small Krishna conscious child. I am grateful for being allowed to see him and to connect with him. I always was. The rest is just politics.

Thank you, Mr. Sankarshan! All good wishes to Mataji Vishnupriya.

Truly yours in my heart,
Ineta

Answer: You Have Rightly Understood My Youthful Identify

From: Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Ineta,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for your Janmastami well-wishes!

I am very happy that you have appreciated Our Sweet Lord.

You have rightly understood my actual identity. You have not been fooled by my 70 year body. I am actually an eternal youth, one of Krishna’s associates in the spiritual world. And you are too! If your will follow me, I will take you back to your eternal youthful identity. To hell with politics!

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
