It's Time to Become Humble

Our tendency that we all have here in this material world is to always be extremely puffed up. We proudly consider ourselves to be very great and super intelligent when actually we are the greatest fools, having given up our place of residence in the spiritual world in a most idiotic and vain attempt to try to enjoy separately from Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, here in this hellish material world. Now it's high time we come to our senses; we should now become at least a little bit reasonable to recognize our foolishness and take advantage of the golden opportunity in this human form of life to humbly take shelter of Lord Sri Krishna and His devotees bowing down at their feet and begging for their mercy that we can now be restored to our original constitutional consciousness of being engaged 24 hours daily in pure loving service to our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna. Let's do it.

Question: Chanting Hare Krishna, But Still Eating Meat

Srila Gurudeva, what will happen to someone who is fixed up in chanting 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala daily but it still engaged in eating meat?

Please give me solution for this, Srila Gurudeva.

Answer: Birth Again in this Material World

Since there is no meat eating in the spiritual world, if one is chanting 16 rounds daily of Hare Krishna japa mala but is still eating meat, he will take birth again here in the material world to full his desire to relish the flavor of rotting blood and flesh.

However, if he keeps chanting Hare Krishna he will eventually lose his taste for eating meat and will completely give it up. In this way he will become fully qualified for going back to home, back to Godhead even at the end of his present life.

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
