Seeing Everything as Krishna's Mercy

The devotee sees how everything is acting and moving under the direction of Krishna. Therefore he is never disturbed in any situation because he experiences the loving mercy of Lord Sri Krishna at every minute. This is why Krishna's devotee is never disturbed and is always happy. While this is not always true for the neophyte devotee, it is very much true for the advanced devotee.

Answer: How to Use Anger for Krishna

One day when I was a young brahmacari (a celibate monk) I was carrying a basket full of Simply Wonderfuls (very tasty sweetballs) down University Avenue in Gainesville, Florida USA handing out one to everyone who came along the sidewalk. One smart aleck hippy approached me with big grin on his face and knocked the basket with hands throwing all of the Simply Wonderfuls out into the street. I became as angry as fire. I yelled very loudly at him pointing my finger right in his face. At the top of my lungs manifesting my full might of anger I ordered him, "You better get out there and pick up all of those sweets right now!" The amazing thing is that by Krishna's grace my anger purified him of his puffed up attitude, and he immediately ran out into the street and picked up all the sweets. This anger saved the foolish boy from the very heavy sinful reaction of committing a great offenses against Krishna prasadam.

Although normally a devotee does not get angry because he sees that everything which happens to him is all the special mercy of Krishna to help him come back to Krishna as soon as possible, anger is proper when it is used to chastise those who dare to commit blasphemy against Lord Sri Krishna and His devotees. This spiritual anger purifies them of their offense.

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
