You Can Attain Unlimited Bliss​​​​​​​

There is no need for you to continue to suffer in this material existence when instead you can attain the state of unlimited bliss. My most beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada instructed one of his disciples very nicely how one can attain the state of unlimited bliss. Here is what he wrote:

"I have noted your unbounded enthusiasm to carry out this great mission of spreading the light of love of Godhead in this hellish material world. That is the only requirement for successfully completing the perfection of the living condition, that you should always be enthusiastic to perform services unto the lotus feet of the Lord despite all obstacles, and then you can be assured that all of the other qualities or necessities for pure devotional service will be met, such as patience, determination, etc. and then without doubt you shall be delivered to the realm of unlimited bliss, freed from all anxieties."

From this we understand that if we are always enthusiastic to engage ourselves 24 hours daily in the service of Lord Sri Krishna we will enter into the most sublime state of unlimited bliss.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Krishna Conscious During Misfortune?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

We keep Lord Krishna at the center of everything. When something bad or unfortunate occurs around us, how to justify it? How to think and keep Krishna at the core then?

Thank you,
Rashmi

Answer: Misfortune is Also Krishna's Mercy​​​​​​​

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Rashmi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

When one is Krishna conscious he sees that nothing bad ever happens to him. He sees that the loving hand of Krishna is blessing him at every moment by bringing him closer and closer to Krishna in each and every situation, even the so-called bad situations. He sees that everything that happens to Him is Krishna’s mercy for bringing him back as soon as possible to his original, pure loving relationship with Krishna.

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
