Answers According to Vedic Knowledge

Question: How Do You Know that Krishna is God?

Hare Krishna,

Sir, all holy books say that one who is called God has no name, no shape, and no address. So how are you so sure the Krishna is God?

Is Krishna a path or a destination?

Answer: He Reveals That He Is God

In the Bhagavad-gita, which is the essence of all scriptures, Krishna reveals Himself as the Supreme God. This is accepted by all great acharyas of India. When the scriptures say that God has no name, no form, and no address this means that He has no material name, no material form, and no material address. In other words, His name, form, and address are all fully spiritual with no tinge of material contamination. His name is Absolute. His form is Absolute. And His address is in the spiritual world, beyond this world of birth and death.

Krishna’s transcendental abode is the destination of all fully self-realized soul. Krishna bhakti or devotion to Lord Krishna, as He teaches us in the Bhagavad-gita, is the path to Krishna’s abode, where His devotees serve Him eternally in a state of unlimited happiness.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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
