Do Not Cheat Yourself

Why cheat yourself? Your actual position is that you are eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. So don't cheat yourself out of who you actually are, relegating yourself to repeatedly be dragged through birth, death, old age, and disease. That would be insane. So don't be insane. Come back now to your original pure state of Krishna consciousness and relish ever-increasing bliss at every moment for all of eternity. Are you with me on this point? I certainly hope so!

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Obtain Guru and Love of Krishna?

How can I get Krishna's love? And when in this life can I get my spiritual master?

Krishna Raaj

Answer: I Am Nothing, Really

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Krishna Raaj,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You already have Krishna’s love. He loves you more than you can even begin to imagine. Now you must reciprocate by fully giving your love to Him. It is then and only then that you will feel His love for You.

If you want me as your guru, you now have your guru. But you must obey me always. Otherwise there is no meaning to guru.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
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.
