We Don't Have to Suffer

In our present day human society everybody is missing on the unlimited bliss that they could be tasting at every minute. They have foolishly resigned themselves to a life of unavoidable suffering. They even have a saying: You have to take the good with the bad. But an intelligent person does not want anything bad. He only wants good. This state of pure goodness is achieved when one comes the dimension known as Krishna consciousness. This is the state of mind that everyone is actually hankering for in the innermost cores of their beings.

Question: How to Become One of Krishna's Gopi Girlfriends

Why doesn’t Krishna take me back to Goloka Vrindavana, and why is Goloka Vrindavana so far away? And what do I need to do to be one of Krishna's gopi girlfriends? And how can I purify my sinful actions and be Krishna conscious all the time? Is there a way? Please help me.

Answer: Just Be Whatever Krishna Wants You to Be

We can go to Goloka Vrindavan immediately within our hearts, and it will be near (not far away), if we will purely adopt the mood of Goloka within our hearts, the mood of complete, total surrender to Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Pure devotion is to fully and joyfully accept however Krishna wants us to serve Him, not that we insist on a being gopi, one of the cowherd girl associates of Lord Krishna. The demanding mood will keep us caught up in the cycle of birth and death here in this material world. So instead of demanding something from Krishna, the proper mood is to be totally surrendered to whatever Krishna demands of us. This mood of total surrender to Krishna will make us very dear to Krishna. And, if we fully and purely adopt this mood, He will accept us as among His intimate personal associates, and we can serve Him in this way for all of eternity.

To become purified of all past sins and to be empowered to Krishna conscious all the time you need to take initiation from the bona fide spiritual master and be fully surrendered to always following his instructions.

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.
