Are You a Rolls Royce?

Don't cheat yourself by trying to be something which you are not, namely that material body, in which you, the eternal spiritual being, are currently situated as the driver of the machine. If you are driving a Rolls Royce automobile, does that make you a Rolls Royce? You are temporarily the driver of your current vehicle, your current material body, until by the laws of material nature, namely your karma, you qualify yourself for another body, at which time you will be transferred to that different body. Those who are thoughtful, who have awakened their intelligence, live in such a way that upon leaving their present material body they attain their original divine form in the spiritual world, where birth, death, old age, and disease are conspicuous by their absence.

Krishna Consciousness: The Pure Essence of Everyone

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Request: Please Bless Me With Exponential Growth

Hare Krishna, Gurudeva. I must say today that I have learned a lot by reading your answers. I have gotten answers to many of my questions and my faith in bhakti yoga, ISKCON, and Srila Prabhupada has now grown strong. I have become much more convinced now. Earlier I used to feel shy practicing bhakti yoga in public, but today I feel like I have the answers to every question. I feel now fortunate for myself and compassionate for others. All credits to you for that. Thank you very much, Gurudeva. Please bless me that I can grow exponentially on this path and serve you all. My humble gratitude to you all. You are really doing a great revolutionary work.

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,
Hare Rama, Hare Rama,

Your foolish son,

Answer: Be Now Blessed

My Dear Shivam,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am most pleased to hear how you are now feeling strong in Krishna consciousness. You have come now to your natural position, instead of the artificial position imposed upon you by the grossly ignorant material society.

May you now become fully awakened in pure love of God and empowered for blessing the fallen, suffering souls of this most bewildered
age of Kali with the supreme benediction of Krishna consciousness.

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 ...
