Submissive Inquiry Kills All Doubts

There is no reason to ever be doubtful or confused while engaged in the ultimate self-realization system, Krishna consciousness. All you have to do when you need some guidance is inquire from the spiritual master, and he will explain things to you in a such a way as to make things clear. This is why Krishna orders us in the Bhagavad-gita 4.34 as follows:

tad viddhi praṇipātena
paripraśnena sevayā
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ
jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ

"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth."

If you are still confused after inquiring, inquire again. And if even then you are still confused, inquire again. In this way continue inquiring until all of your doubts are completely eradicated and you are absolutely sure that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that you are His eternal servant.

All glories to Srila Gurudeva

Dear Srila Gurudeva, today you mentioned the word suicidal. what do you mean ? Is there any body who wants to commit suicide? Is life so hopeless?

Your servant
Hladini Devi Dasi

Answer: At Every Forty Seconds

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Hladini,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Close to 800,000 people die due to suicide every year, which is an average of one person every 40 seconds. This is how frustrated people are without Krishna consciousness. Therefore we must make the whole world Krishna conscious as soon as possible to save the people from their misery.

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

Your ever well-wisher,

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
