Jhulan Yatra Bliss

This is the time of year when ISKCON temples all over the world celebrate Jhulan Yatra, which is an ecstatic festival in which everyone gets the most auspicious opportunity to swing the deities of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. It goes on for several evenings. Friday 24 August is the last night of this glorious festival. So make sure to go to your nearest ISKCON temple tonight to catch at least the last day of this super ecstatic celebration. While swinging Radha and Krishna we can remember Their most delightful swinging pastimes that go on eternally in that most extraordinarily wondrous Spiritual Sky.

(If you are in or near Austin, Texas USA, the festival is from 6pm to 7pm at 10700 Jonwood Way.)

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Is Negative Energy Bothering Me?

Does Bhagavan Krishna know to speak all languages?
Why is Bhagavan Krishna a wonderful linguist that knows all spoken languages around the world?
And how can I go back to Bhagavan Krishna's abode, Goloka Vrindavana?
How can I let go of negative thoughts that are bothering me?
Why is negative energy bothering me. I need help please.

Thank you,
Sheetal Baijal

Answer: Bodily Misindentification

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Sheetal,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Yes, since He knows everything Bhagavan must be multi-lingual. By full surrender to Krishna through the medium of the bona fide spiritual master you become qualified to go to Goloka Vrindavan.

By always remembering Krishna your negative thoughts will vanish.

Negative energy is bothering you because are mistakenly thinking that your body is you.

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.

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
