Nothing to Lose Except for Your Anxiety

It is very rare for someone to take seriously to the process of Krishna conscious because the entire world population is completely caught in the maddened pursuit of material sense gratification at every minute. The foolish people think that they will lose out or miss something if they seriously take to the path of Krishna bhakti. They do not realize that the only thing they will lose by surrendering to Krishna is their anxiety. Krishna promises us that for those who surrender He will preserve what they have and provide whatever they lack. So there is absolutely nothing to lose by surrendering to Krishna except for our anxiety and absolutely everything to gain. Therefore who is that fool who will not surrender fully to Krishna?

Question: Could a Monkey Have Written the Bhagavad-gita?

Thank you, Gurudeva, for taking out the time out of your schedule and understanding me. I have another question

Suppose there are unlimited monkey and each monkey has a typewrite. So there are unlimited typewriters as well. Wouldn't at some point a monkey come up with the script of the Bhagavad-gita? My point I am trying to get at is: How do we know that the Vedic scriptures like Bhaga vad-gita is not just another book written by a pseudo spiritual person?

Answer: Stealing Bananas--Yes. Writing the Gita--No.

While monkeys are good at stealing bananas, a monkey would not be able to randomly produce the Bhagavad-gita. We know the Bhagavad-gita is bona fide because by following it we escape our enslavement in the cycle of birth and death and wake up in our original home in the spiritual 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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
