When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going

Things are not always smooth and easy here in this material world. Sometimes we face very, very difficult situations. While such times are psychologically devastating for materialists they are the greatest window of opportunity for the spiritualists. This is so because the spiritualists see the loving hand of Krishna blessing them in all situations here in this material dimension, both when times are good and when times are bad. In this way for the spiritualist there is never any situation when things are truly bad. He simply fully utilizes each and every situation he finds himself to advance himself further and further on the path of spiritual realization so that every soon he can become fully awakened by attaining the perfectional stage of pure love of God. Isn't this what we should all be living for at every minute?

Rukmininath Krishna Das

Answer: By Obeying the Spiritual Master's Orders

Bhagavad-gita teaches the perfection of management and all other processes by showing us how to utilize them for the pleasure of Krishna, who is the root of all existence. The principle is that when we water the root of the tree all the leaves and branches are nourished. Similarly when we manage things for the pleasure of Krishna we act in a way that is beneficial for all living beings throughout all of existence. In short, acting according to the Bhagavad-gita by engaging everything in the service of Krishna is the gateway to all-auspiciousness.

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
