If You're Feeling Suicidal

If you're feeling suicidal, you just can't stand to live.
Everything is hopeless, you're fully inoperative.
Meet the Supreme Person who loves you unlimitedly.
Give your love to Him, and He will set you free.
.
​​​​​​​But there is no God the atheists say.
His existence just a myth.
Everything comes from nothing they claim.
Life's a hopeless abyss.

But nothing comes from nothing
I scientifically declare.
So just find the original something
And you'll no longer be ensnared.

That original source is a loving person
So gentle and sublime.
He's inviting you back to your original home
To re-enter His eternal pastimes.

So if you're ever suicidal
Just remember this.
Your actual cognizant being
Is eternal overflowing with bliss.

God's devotee with take you there
Back to your original home.
You will no longer suffer here
In birth and death cycle to roam.

Lord Krishna's Peace Formula

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: How the Soul Can Be Equal to the Supreme and at Same Time Only Part of the Supreme?

Dear Gurudeva please accept my pranams. Hare Krishna.
I have a question regarding Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 15, Verse 7 where Krishna says "Mamaivamso jiva loke jiva bhuta sanatana." For this verse Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport that the living entity is a fragmental part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. But in Vedas it is said "purnam adah purnam idam purnat purnam udhacyate," that the individual part of the Supreme is equal with the Supreme. So he is purna (complete). But if the living entities are His fragmented parts, then should they not be complete like the Supreme? But living entities are not at all equal with the Supreme. So how can I understand this statement that living entities are fragmental parts and parcels of the Supreme?

Thank you for your transcendental messages. Hare Krishna.

Answer: Simultaneously One and Different

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Kowsthub,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The Supreme Lord and the living beings are qualitatively one because both the Supreme Lord and the living beings are eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. However since the Supreme Lord is infinite and the living beings are infinitesimal, they are quantitatively different. This is the sublime philosophy known as acintya-bhedabheda-tattva, which means simultaneously, inconceivably one and different.

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
