Take Full Advantage of the Human Form of Life

There are 8,400,000 different forms of life in the categories of fish, plants, worms and reptiles, birds, beasts, and humans. Out of these 8,400,000 different forms this human form is a very rare opportunity to get out of the cycle of birth and death. Therefore those who are actually intelligent take full advantage of this rare opportunity and fully qualify themselves for going back to home, back to Godhead by taking shelter and initiation from the bona fide spiritual master and then being fully obedient to him. This is simple formula for achieving the highest perfection.

Krishna Removes All Obstacles

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Who is the Demon in the Kali Yuga?

Srila Gurudeva, according to the different yugas or ages there are demons. For example in the Satya yuga there is Hiranyakasipu, in the Treta yuga here is Ravana, and in the the Dvapara yuga there is Duryodhana. So my question is: Who is the demon in our present age, the Kali yuga?

Sincerely,
Your student, Hari

Answer: Practically Everyone

There were more demons that than in the previous yugas. Srila Prabhupada describes that there was Hiranyakasipu and Hiranyaksa in Satya-yuga, Ravana and Kumbhakarna in the Treta-yuga, and Sisupala and Dantavakra in the Dvapara-yuga. There were very few demons in the previous yugas. But now in the Kali yuga practically everyone is a demon. Thus it is a very difficult age indeed to be in. But it is also the best of all yugas or ages, because this is the easiest of all ages to attain spiritual perfection. In this age even without undergoing any difficult austerities if one will simply chant the holy names of the Lord, he can attain complete spiritual perfection and go back home, back to Godhead.

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
