Krishna's Devotee Begs to Be Saved

When my our most beloved ISKCON Founder-Acharya, His Divine A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who is my most beloved spiritual master, wrote a Vyas Puja homage to his spiritual master he prayed, "Save me a fallen, Your Divine Grace." In this way Srila Prabhupada, even though a fully liberated soul, is teaching us struggling, neophyte devotees what our mood should be. We should always as much as possible be praying to Lord Sri Krishna and to our spiritual master to save us from our fallen position of being caught up in the cycle of birth and death here in this material world due to our stubbornly holding onto our so many material desires. If we are always in this "save me a fallen" mood, we will always be solidly fixed on the transcendental platform in ecstatic Krishna consciousness.

Question: How Can I Help My Friend?

This question is behalf of my dear friend. She is in a great problem. She is an initiated married devotee who is not able to complete her chanting. Her mind is wandering in attachments with other males. Even after spiritual knowledge understanding still not able to cope up with these material entanglements. She feels ashamed of herself and needs regular prayers from Vaisnavas to overcome these situations. She wants to progress in her chanting and devotional activities. How can I help her? Please reply.

Thanking you.
Your humble servant

Answer: Mind Should Wander to the Supreme Male

The prayers for her deliverance are already there. What she requires is training. Instead of meditating on this male or that male she should instead allow her mind to wander to the Supreme Male, Lord Sri Krishna. This is her mind’s natural proclivity. Instead of remaining artificially in material consciousness she should to return to her original natural Krishna consciousness. If she will simply regularly call out to her spiritual master and Lord Sri Krishna begging them to save her from her fallen position, she will become 100% successful in regaining her natural spiritual life. In that purified state she will relish unlimited happiness at every minute. Instead of being attracted to blood and flesh she should again become attracted to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Who is the source of all existence. Only in this way will her mind become peaceful and satisfied.

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

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.
