Leaving the Kingdom of God

We were originally situated in a state of pure bliss and knowledge in that most wondrous spiritual sky where no one gets sick, no one gets old, ands no one ever dies. But due to a foolish desire to be the Supreme we were facilitated by Lord Sri Krishna by residence in a world where everyone thinks himself to be the Supreme. Now if we are at all intelligent, even slightly intelligent, we will take advantage of Krishna's offer to qualify ourselves to back to His most sublime kingdom by taking shelter of the bona fide spiritual master to be properly trained in the mood of devotion.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why the Supreme Lord Put Us In This World?

Salutations,

I will like to know our purpose on this earth as humans. If we are to be with the Supreme Lord, then why did He put us in this world? Also what's our true purpose in this world? I believe God should have just left us with Himself where He is.

Thank you,

Regards

Answer: We Came Here Out of Our Desire

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Mary-Ann,

Please accept my blessings.

Thank you very much for your sincere inquiry.

We are in this material world because we decided that we did not want to serve God. We came here to satisfy our own foolish desire to try to enjoy separately from God.

God does not keep anyone as prisoners in His world. Everyone is free to stay there or leave according to their own desire.

Once we realize our foolish mistake of leaving God’s kingdom He mercifully gives us full facility to return to our original home. Unfortunately most people in this material world make the foolish mistake of wanting to stay here in his lane of birth and death because they are attached to illusory so-callede enjoyments of this world such as illicit sex, meat eating,intoxication, and gambling.

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
