Gratify Your Real Self​​​​​​​​​​​​

Material sense gratification is death because it destroys your spiritual consciousness. Serving Krishna, on the other hand, is gratification of your self because when Krishna is satisfied you become unlimitedly satisfied. So who is that fool who would not give up material sense and become a pure devotee of Krishna?

Question: How to Attain Pure Attachment?

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Your Divine Grace and Srimati Gurumataji.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to all wonderful devotees.

Dear Srila Gurudeva, I was reading Caitanya Caritamrita Adi Lila, Chapter 4, Texts 164-180, and I was thinking, "What is this love of the Gopis which is called firm attachment?". Even my thoughts have no access to understand it. It means that at every moment one's thoughts, words, and deeds are simply for the pleasure of Krishna's senses. That is what I hear in Your Divine Grace's lectures. But I can't understand it, it's like a great treasure which is inaccessible. How to access this attachment?
Thank you.

Your insignificant servant,
Lila Manjari Devi dasi

Answer: Intensely Beg For It

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama

My Dear Lila Manjari,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Firm attachment means to only think of the pleasure of one’s beloved without even the slightest tinge of a desire for one’s own personal pleasure.

To access this unlimited treasure is not difficult. You simply have to beg for it with great intensity again and again and again until you finally get it. Even if you have to go on begging for millions of lifetimes, you will never stop begging. This is the price you must pay to gain the ultimate perfection of firm attachment.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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 ...
