Beware of Bogus Gurus

In this Kali yuga, the age of cheating, the world is full of bogus so-called spiritual masters who are very expert at taking away your money, but completely incompetent in doing the real duty of a spiritual master, which is to take away your karma and deliver you back to your original eternal identity that you once had in the spiritual world before you feel down into this material world by a misuse of your free will. So one must be very careful to find the bona fide spiritual master, the teacher who does not concoct anything but simply purely gives you what he has received from his bona fide spiritual master. I was personally misguided by several bogus so-called gurus before I found the genuine spiritual master. The charlatans are very dangerous for one's spiritual life and thus should be strictly avoided.

Dilemma: We Cannot Afford the Guru

My husband and I have been trying to learn to become Buddhists, but we do not know where to start. And Sadhguru is the only real guru that we know of that would help. But his classes cost so much, and we are not rich with money. Please help us. Please guide us. 🌺🌹💐

Answer: Reject the Bogus Guru and Accept the Real Guru

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Jayla,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Any guru who charges you a fee to train you is not a bona fide guru. The bona fide spiritual master freely trains you in the self-realization process. He never charges a fee like the rip-off so-called gurus. If you will simply take complete shelter of the bona fide guru, he will lovingly guide you how to become spiritually perfect and thus enter into a state of eternal, unlimited happiness.

Self-realization is transcendental to all designations such as Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Muslim, Christian, etc. Real self-realization means to realize that you are the eternal servant of Krishna or God and to become practically engaged in serving him under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master.

If you are willing and ready to take my guidance, I will train you how to become spiritually perfect. And I will not charge you a fee.

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 ...
