On the Road Again-Destination: South Africa

As I write these words we are here in Solferino, Mauritius getting ready to depart for Pretoria, South Africa. Why do we take such time and trouble and expense when my wife and I are both 70 years old? The answer is very simple: We have a mission given to us by Srila Prabhupada to make the world Krishna conscious, and there is no question of retirement from this mission even up to the very moment of our deaths. Srila Prabhupada taught us this by his example. When he was lying on his death bed in Vrindavan he told us, "They say the old man is dying in Vrindavan. But I am beating on my mridanga, and it can be heard all over the world." So we want to always keep the world deliverance moods burning our hearts to please our most beloved ISKCON Founder-Acharya: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Revive Your Original, Natural Consciousness

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Appreciation: Thank You Very Much for Your Course

Dear Prabhu Sankarshan Das Adhikari,

Thank you very much for your course about spiritual enlightenment and ''blissful life'' connected with the Supreme One, I appreciate so much your teaching of the Monday 4 June of this year. I hope to take soon the good choice, but I'm meeting difficulties on the path and it will take some time.

But I think I'm in good way, and I feel well inspired by this new relationship with Krishna's devotees. I'm 33, and that's a real beginning anew I'm starting now. Actually I'm going to read the introduction of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is (in French : telle qu'elle est) and for sure it's a good support for the Krishna's Consciousness Movement.

You are a precious and rare person, I think, who are giving the opportunity to thousands to work on their own spirituality. You can give a great help to everyone who wants, in the care of the company of devotees, to fly on their own wings back to home, back to God, Krishna.

With all my gratitude and encouragement,and with regards. Hope to hear and see and read you soon!

Answer: May You Be Blessed with Krishna Bhakti

From: Solferino, Mauritius

My Dear Roland,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Even though I am lacking in so many ways, I have taken the order of my spiritual master to make the world Krishna conscious as my very life and soul. And because of this I am blessed with association of so many
wonderful, sincere souls such as yourself.

Thank you for being here. May you be blessed with the full awakening of Krishna consciousness within your heart.

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
