Do Not Waste a Single Moment

Every moment of time is more valuable than millions and billions of dollars. A huge sum of money can be lost and regained. But a moment of lost time can never be recovered. Therefore we must perfectly manage our time so that not even a moment of our unlimitedly valuable time is wasted. We must scrutinizingly see that absolutely every nanosecond is perfectly utilized in the service of our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna. In this way we will reap unlimited benefit at every minute and quickly become fully qualified to regain our original identities in the transcendental pastimes of Krishna in that most wondrous spiritual sky.

Answers According to Vedic Knowledge

Question: How to Present Our Philosophy?​​​​​​​

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva,

I have been reading in your "Thought for the Day" "Answers According to Vedic Knowledge." I have noticed that you provide very appealing answers to even the most challenging questions posed by inquirer. On the other hand I have analyzed my situation that I tend to get into a loop of arguments whenever I tend to present it to a new person.

My dear master, I definitely lack necessary aptitude or knowledge to present philosophy of krsna to the people in general. I humbly offer my obeisance at your lotus feet and inquire from your grace, “How should I present this philosophy so that people in general will accept it wholeheartedly”

Your servant,
Sadhu Bhusana Das

Answer: With Conviction

If you will simply tell them with conviction that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, your preaching will be perfect, and Krishna from within will guide how to tell them this in such a way that they will be convinced. Just as you were convinced by someone that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krishna will empower you to convince others if you will simply do your duty of propagating this message.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
