The Unlimited Mercy of Traveling with Radha Damodar

Gurumata (my wife) and I are unlimitedly blessed by Lord Sri Krishna and His eternal consort, Srimati Radharani, because they are allowing us to travel with them in their twice-a-year-circle-the-globe journeys to bless the fallen souls of this world with prema bhakti, pure love of God. These particular deities are named Sri Sri Radha Damodar in memory of the Radha Damodar deities which presided the over the famous Radha Damodar Traveling Sankirtan party, which I was privileged to be a member of in my younger days when I was a brahmacari.

Every day, no matter where we are (as long as we are not on airplane), we wake them, offer them milk sweets, offer them managla arati, and bathe and dress them in one of the many outfits we carry with us all over the world. They then are decorated very nicely with jewelry and offered fresh flower garlands. After this they are fed a sumptuous breakfast. In the mid-day they get full lunch prasadam. And then in evening we give them evening prasad, evening arati, change them into their night clothes and put them to rest. This is all going on simultaneously with a full lecture schedule and a full writing schedule. And of course we also chant our 16 rounds and do our personal study of Srila Prabhupada's books as well. Such a life of full absorption in Krishna consciousness is greater than the samadhi of the mystic yogis because it is as good as being in the spiritual world.

We are thus very, very grateful that They have blessed us with Their service. It is indeed the rarest of all privileges to be able to offer personal service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His eternal consort. We cannot even begin to understand the extent of our most auspicious good fortune in this regard.

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
