Krishna Consciousness is Better Than Sex​​​​​​​​​​​​

In material life sex is the number one attraction. Indeed it is sometimes said that whole world spins on sex desire. That's how prominent it is. So how is it that a Krishna conscious person can completely give up sex without being agitated by a suppressed desire for it?

The answer is quite simple. Krishna consciousness is better than sex, and there is not much more to be said in this connection. One simply has to be trained how to be properly situated in Krishna consciousness. Then he will able to relish at every moment a pleasure much greater than the so-called pleasure of sex. Thus sex pleasure will no longer appeal to him because he will see it as something than lowers his consciousness rather than elevating it.

Question: Why Can't We Offer Meat to Krishna?

Dear Srila Gurudeva, 🙌
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet. 🙏

I was preaching to one of my material friends about Krishna consciousness and how wrong and devastating it is to eat non-vegetarian food. His reply was that plants also have life. And I said that when offer the plants to Krishna He forgives us of all sin. His reply was that if Krishna can take away the sin of killing the plants, which have life, then we can also offer the flesh of animals (which also have life) to Krishna and can He forgive us of that sin also! I couldn't reply to his point. I need your guidance in this regard!

Always seek your blessings and guidance!🙏

Your servant!
Your spiritual daughter!

Answer: Krishna Decides What He Will Accept

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama
My Dear Anamika,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Krishna is the supreme authority. He has agreed to take away the sins of killing the plants if they are offered to Him with love and devotion. But He has not agreed to do the same if we kill animals. This is up to Krishna to decide what He will do and not to. It is not up to your friend what Krishna will do and not do.

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 ...
