It's Easy to Become Great

To become great is not difficult. All you have to do is follow the great. The difficulty is that in this modern day world we foolishly follow the so-called greats instead of following the real greats. The real greats are not necessarily, the rock stars, the movie stars, the science stars, and the political stars, although they could be. The real greats are those who have mastered the art of perfectly harmonizing with God in all times, places, and circumstances with their every thought, word, and deed, in other words, the saintly persons. It's these great souls who are real role models. They are the ones we should follow.

Answer: Fully Dedicate Yourself to God

From: Kaunas, Lithuania

My Dear Pradeep,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your guru is that person who has been sent to you by Lord Sri Krishna to deliver you from the cycle of birth and death. When you are ready to fully surrender to Krishna the spiritual master will give you formal initiation and accepts you as his disciple.

The scriptures guide us that we should seek out a bona fide spiritual master and become his disciple.

If you inquire submissively from the bona fide spiritual master, you will have his full attention.

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
