Real Religion is the Perfection of Psychology

Recently one of our subscribers cancelled his subscription to our e-course stating that he was looking for a psychological approach to self-realization rather than a religious approach. Our reader failed to comprehend that genuine religion is the perfection of psychology. While we can understand someone's being disgusted with the multitude of pseudo religions being forced upon the ignorant people of the world, rejecting genuine religion is just as ignorant as accepting pseudo religion.

So how is it that genuine religion is the perfection of psychology? This I will now explain.

Actual religion means to reconnect with the source of one's existence. Just as an electrical appliance must be plugged into the electrical power house in order to function, we psychologically require to be connected with the source of our existence in order the properly function. That connecting process is love. It is a psychological fact that without love no one can be happy. The perfection of psychology is to have a perfect loving relationship with that Supreme Person who is the source of all existence. Therefore the perfection of psychology and the perfection of religion is one and the same.

So I hope that our confused former subscriber will realize his mistake and rejoin our course. We have written him as seen below in the Answers section.

Answer: The Perfection of Psychology

Dear Tichafara,

Please accept my greetings.

One who understands that the perfection of psychology is to fully reconnect and thus dovetail one's individual self with the Supreme Self, who is the source of all existence, understands that in the true sense of the term religious perfection and psychological perfection are one and the same. Considering this if you would like to give our course a second chance, let us know and we will re-enroll you.

Thank you for your sincerity.

Sincerely,
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
