My Life's Mission--Accomplish These Two Goals

My life's mission given to me by my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, is to become a pure devotee of Lord Sri Krishna qualified to see Him face to face and to deliver all the fallen, suffering souls of this world by bringing them back to their original transcendental position of pure devotional service, Krishna consciousness. However, due to my innumerable disqualifications it is not possible for me on my own strength to accomplish these two goals. But by the inconceivable loving mercy of my spiritual master these two goals are quite obtainable. Therefore I am simply falling down at his lotus feet and begging for his mercy that I now may become Krishna's spotlessly pure devotee and that I can now make the whole world Krishna conscious.

Tune Into Your Actual Nature

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Does God Really Exist?

Is it that God really exists? I believe in karma, but I have lost hope in God because the people who do bad things live a happy life and God is just simply sitting and watching us.​​​​​​​

Madhumathi

Answer: Absolutely!

From: Sri Vrindavana Dhama, India

My Dear Madhumathi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You are not seeing how those who are sinful are forced to become animals in their next birth. If they are tasting so-called happiness now, they are simply burning off the reactions from their previous pious activities. Of course such happiness is only so-called. No one is tasting any real happiness in this world of birth and death except for those who have fully surrendered to 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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
