Back to Vrindavan

I am writing this on 2 October at 5am. After a wonderful few days of preaching here in the New Delhi area we are this morning heading to Sri Vrindavan Dhama, the transcendental abode of Lord Sri Krishna here in this material world. What could be a greater blessing than this? We are therefore fervently praying that we can actually enter into Krishna's abode by being completely in the mood of pure devotion, not that we enter only a shadow of Krishna's abode by coming to Vrindavan in the mood of our tourist, a sightseer.

Question: Is this Fair?

We fell down from the spiritual world before billions of years ago and had millions of births, but we only got the guidance to surrender to Krishna just before 5,000 years ago. Moreover, only Srila Prabhupada clarified the meaning of the Bhagavad-gita just 50 years ago. Thus the message of Krishna remained dormant during such a long time for all of mankind. This naturally led to our compounded impurities and misers. Is this fair?

Thank You.

Answer: God is More than Fair

Throughout all of eternity Krishna has always been fully available for anyone who sincerely wants to find Him. For example, Lord Sri Krishna personally revealed His sublime teachings millions of years ago to the sun god, Vivasvan, and Lord Caitanya revealed these sublime teachings 500 years to thousands of devotees. Krishna is in the heart of every living being, and when that living being sincerely wants to find Him, that all-merciful Krishna gives him full facility to revive his lost loving relationship with his most beloved Lord. So the conclusion is that Krishna or God is more than fair. He is an ocean of unlimited compassion upon all living beings.

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
