Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by fully surrendering to Krishna right now. So why not do it? Why hesitate? It sometimes said, "He who hesitates is lost." And it is also said, "If something is auspicious, do it immediately. And if something is not auspicious, postpone it." Surrendering to Krishna is the most auspicious thing we could ever do in millions and billions of lifetimes. Therefore the only intelligent thing to do is to fully surrender ourselves unto Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personalty of Godhead right here and right now. There is absolutely no reason at all that we should hesitate or postpone this. But yet we do, again and again. This is our foolishness. It is time to give up our foolishness and become truly wise.

Answer: Devotees Do Not Waste Time

Devotees do not waste their time playing frivolous sports because such sporting does nothing at all to advance their Krishna consciousness. Rather it is a diversion from their Krishna consciousness. Life is short. Therefore we must engage every minute of our daily 24 hours fully absorbed in Krishna’s service.

Such sporting also does nothing at all to deliver the fallen souls of this world from their entanglement in the cycle of birth and death. Therefore the devotees of Krishna fully engage themselves 24 hours a day in the ultimate sport of awakening pure of love of God within their own hearts while simultaneously pushing forward a spiritual revolution for the respiritualization of the entire global society to save these poor souls of the present day misdirected civilization from being dragged down to the animal kingdom in their next lives. Instead of wasting their time in frivolous sports the devotees work diligently to defeat the present day demoniac world culture and replace it with Krishna conscious culture.

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 ...
