The Most Powerful Meditation

This present age of Kali, which began 5,000 years ago, is the most materialistic of all the ages. In this age we are short-lived and we have very meager intelligence. Although this is the most degraded of all ages, it is also the most auspicious of all ages beause in this age one can achieve the topmost level of spiritual perfection simply by chanting the holy names of God. This chanting is the most powerful means of meditation. Any name of God from the revealed scriptures can be chanted. But especially these names from the Vedic scripture are very powerful and effective:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

Anyone who gives up sinful activities and regularly chants these names with love and devotion every day will quickly achieve the supreme perfection of awakening pure love of God within their heart.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Achieve Spiritual Perfection?

Jai Shri Krishna

I do my regular puja (archana), but meditate as and when I get time or I feel like meditating even at odd hours say during night. But the moment I sit and try to meditate within fraction of a minute lot of thoughts good/bad come to my mind. I again try to concentrate, but the same thing happens again. I can sit for not more than 30-40 minutes due to my age factor also as i am over 60 years of age.

I request you to please guide me how I can concentrate to achieve the desired goal.

Jai Shri Krishna

Answer: Hare Krishna Japa Mala

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Tej,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You need to be doing Hare Krishna japa mala at least 16 rounds daily as your meditation. This is the most powerful meditation in this age. It will empower you to bring your mind completely under control.

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
