My Life's Two Most Important Goals​​​​​​​

The two most important goals of my life are:

1. Become a completely pure devotee who is qualified to see Krishna face-to-face at every moment. I desire this because is Srila Prabhupada personally instructed me to do this in a letter dated 18 December 1972 from Bombay, India: "Now you just apply yourself for becoming qualified to see Krishna face-to-face."

2. Delivering all of the suffering humanity back to home, back to Godhead. I desire this because my spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada has ordered me to be Krishna conscious and has defined a person who is Krishna conscious in the following way in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 4th Canto, Chapter 12, Text 36 as follows: "A Krishna conscious being is always engaged in planning how to take all of suffering humanity back home, back to Godhead."

Thus on the order of my spiritual master I am praying to Lord Sri Krishna that I can now see Him face-to-face and that I can now spark off a global spiritual revolution for delivering the entire suffering humanity back to home, back to Godhead.

Question: How to Stop Masturbation?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All glories to you and Gurumataji. 🙏

I have very sensitive questions to ask you. I hope that you wouldn't mind answering as they are based on Krishna Consciousness.
1) How stop Masturbation? How to stop this urge, how to control it?
2) Is masturbation considered as illicit sex?

Now I follow only three of the four regulative principles: No meat eating, no intoxication, and no gambling. But this "no illicit sex" I am not able to follow. It always disturbs me. Please save me!! I am suffering here. Please teach me how to stop these lustful activities. I want to concentrate on my Krishna consciousness. I am seeking your advice. Thank you so much, Srila Gurudeva.

Your Servant. 🙏

Answer: Pray to Krishna For Happiness in Remembering Him​​​​​​​

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Hari,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The way to stop masturbation is that you do not touch your genitals. You must stop it because it deprives you of your duration of life. It spoils your power of memory and it forces you to take birth in the animal kingdom in your next birth. Semina is only meant to be discharged for making one’s wife pregnant. Any other discharge of semina is illicit sex. When your mind becomes too much disturbed pray to Krishna that you can experience perfect happiness simply by remembering Him with no need of genital stimulation.

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

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?
