What is the Difficulty?​​​​​​​

There is no actual difficulty in becoming Krishna conscious. The only difficulty is that due to our less intelligence we manufacture difficulties. In this connection Srila Prabhupada explains as follows:

"So everyone can practice bhakti-yoga under the guidance of a bona fide spiritual master, one who knows the science of Krishna. Don't lose this opportunity of human life. Practice bhakti-yoga, be Krishna conscious, and make your life successful. Our mission is to teach this science. It is not a business -- 'Give me some money, and I will teach you.' The knowledge is free. We are simply encouraging everyone, 'Chant the Hare Krishna mantra.' What is the difficulty? Simply chant Hare Krishna and dance. Why go to some club to dance? The whole family can chant and dance at home. You will be happy. Then you will understand your constitutional position as servants of Krishna."

If we will simply our faith in and apply these wonderful words of Srila Prabhupada, our lives will become unlimitedly sublime.

The Difficulty is We Think That There Are Difficulties

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why the People Seem So Lost?

Dear Gurudeva,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

Since coming to Krishna consciousness I see the material world in a different light. My question is: Why do the people seem so lost?

Your insignificant servant,
Scott

Answer: Because They Are Lost

The entire human population seems lost because factually they are lost. Because of their sinful activities most of them are going to take birth in the animal kingdom in their next lives. Therefore out of compassion for these hopeless fellows we must take compassion upon them and try to save them by bringing them to Krishna consciousness.

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 ...
