The Super Determined Little Boy

On 29 December 2018 at our "From Fear to Love" spiritual retreat in Yarra Glen, Australia so many wonderful things happened. One tidbit of delight was the determination of the little boy, Sri Tanvik, who insisted at our book table that he wanted a Krishna Book. This is the book by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, which wonderfully describes in detail the pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna when He was on this earth planet 5,000 years ago. My wife was at the book table and told the mother to give the Krishna Book to the boy because he was very attracted to it. But his mother was firm that because they already have the Krishna Book at home he could not get one. Although the boy was quiet he showed his great sorrow that he could not have his own personal Krishna Book. But then when his father came to the book table and bought him the book, Sri Tanvik, in great ecstasy was holding his Krishna Book to his chest. When at the age of three he is so determined to have Krishna we can only begin to imagine how Krishna conscious this determined, darling little child will be when he grows up.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Do I Exist?

I need help and guidance. I really need to know the meaning of life and existence itself. I mean, why was I born.? Did I choose to be here? If so what were my reasons? I just feel I have forgotten stuff that I ought not to. I need to remember I need guidance.

Answer: To Love GodServe the Supreme Person

From: Melbourne, Australia

My Dear Solomon,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You have existed eternally. God has been eternally emanating you from Himself in a similar way that the sun is emanating sun rays. In other words, you are a ray of God. He has been emanating you eternally from Himself because He wants to have a beautiful loving relationship with you. So it's not that you came into being in your present lifetime because your mother and father had sex. That only explains how you got your present body, which is only a garment that you, the eternal spiritual being, are wearing in your present lifetime.

The perfection of your existence is to now revive that lost loving relationship. That what I am here for. I am God's messenger instructed by Him to teach you to become re-situated in your original loving relationship with Him.

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 ...
