This Material World is a Dangerous Place

It is sometimes said that this material world is not a fit place for gentleman's living. This is because there is danger here at every step. Anybody can be killed unexpectedly at any mount without any warning. Just like recently some girl scouts were picking up garbage on the side of the road when a car accidentally veered off of the road and killed them. Such a dangerous atmosphere is not our actual home. We are like fish out of the water here. We are meant to live in an atmosphere where death and all forms of material misery are conspicuous by their absence. The bona fide spiritual master is our travel agent to guide us how to return to that original, natural, all-blissful atmosphere. We should therefore take full advantage of his directions and make our lives unlimitedly happy and successful.

This is what I have done, and I advise the same for you. I would like for you to also experience the peace and happiness that I am experiencing every day in all situations.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: ​​​​​​​Karma for Killing a Mosquito?​​​

Many people suffer disease and death due to mosquito bites. Can it be said that they killed mosquitoes in the past and that is why they have to suffer like this as a karmic reaction?

Thank You.

With Regards,
Golok Das

Answer: Be Killed by the Mosquito

From: Kaunas, Lithuania

My Dear Golok,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Yes, if someone is killed by a mosquito, this means that in a previous life they had killed the living being who was in the mosquito body and who is now killing them. This same karmic principle was a taught by Sir Isaac Newton in his famous third law of motion, who observed that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

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
