Don't Remain Deluded

It's time for us to wake, to stop our maddened dreaming with our heads in the sand in the realm of delusion. There is a most beautiful, relishable reality awaking us if we will simply stop misidentifying with our material bodies and instead identify with our actual eternal spiritual identities as servants of the Supreme Person. Thus the time is now to stop taking our directions from our deluded minds and instead take them from the enlightened sages and from the revealed scriptures. They will expertly guide us how to be who we actually, factually are.

Question: Do Bad Thoughts Make Me Bad?

​​​​​​​Thank you so for reading and answering my questions. I am humbled by your responses. Do unwanted thoughts in the mind subconsciously make one a bad person in Krishna Consciousness? The thoughts are not intentional but maybe because all over the years before Krishna consciousness, the mind had been programed in those certain thoughts, due to which they occur subconsciously even after. Does it make one a bad person and more importantly bad in the eyes of Krishna?

Answer: Not If You Don't Act on Them

From: Kaunas, Lithuania

My Dear Nitish

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

No they don’t pollute you. As long as you do not act on them they do not make you a bad person. They are the result of your previous sinful activities. By strictly following guru and Krishna they will gradually go away.

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
