Why Lord Buddha Appeared

Lord Buddha is a very amazing incarnation of God because He taught atheism. The reason he did this is that after the beginning of the Kali Yuga, the most materialistic of all ages, which began 5,000 years ago, people were using the descriptions of animal sacrifices from the Vedas to justify cow slaughter. These sacrifices were not for cow killing. By the power of mantra the old cow was given the body of a young calf. The cows were not killed. They were rejuvenated. But people were using these descriptions in the Vedic scriptures to falsely legitimatize cow killing. Since the world population at that time was very low class the would be able to understand higher spiritual knowledge. So out of kindness upon the poor animals Lord Buddha denied the Vedas teaching instead a philosophy of non-violence to stop the cow killing and that everything is void.

In this way he paved the way for an incarnation of Lord Shiva who taught a compromise between atheism and theism, who was followed by the incarnation of God Himself, Lord Sri Krishna, known as Lord Caitanya, who re-established full blown theism attained by ecstatic chanting and dancing of the holy names of God.

Question: How to Give Up Eating Meat?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

I would like to discuss something important as follows:

As I admitted to you some days ago that I have been eating meat for the last 35-40 years on a daily basis, I would like to say further in this regard that I have tried my best to abstain from eating meat for the last one or two months.

But still sometimes I feel that I have not been abler to conquer over my inner attraction towards meat completely until now. So I need your advice in this regard how I can put a complete stop of my addictive tendency to consume meat in my life forever.

Please help me, Srila Gurudeva. I need your guidance

Thank you,

Answer: Here's How

From: Santiago, Chile

My Dear Amit,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

If you will offer all of your fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products to Lord Krishna before eating, you can easily give up your bad habit of eating rotten flesh, which condemns you to being an animal in your next birth to be eaten by one of the same animals that you ate.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
