You Owe It to Yourself

You owe it to yourself to awaken your actual identity, which is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. In other words, why waste time with great endeavor futilely trying to be what you are not, namely that material body you are currently wearing, when you can just naturally be who you really are, the eternal spirit-soul within? This simply a matter of common sense. Why suffer when you can enjoy unlimitedly? The difficulty is that we have been robbed of common sense because we live in a culture of ignorance in which we are programmed into thinking ourselves to be these rotting, stinking bodies when in fact they are nothing more than garments that we are temporarily wearing.

Question: How Will I Unlock My Factual Identity?

How will I unlock my factual identity? Please guide me..

Answer: Be Now Blessed

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama

My Dear Koma,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your actual identity is that you are the eternal servant of Krishna. You have forgotten this actual identify due to misidentification with one material body after another material body after another material body since time immemorial. The simple formula for awakening your actual identity is to take up the process of hearing and chanting about and serving Lord Sri Krishna under the guidance of the bona fide spiritual master. Simply by acting and thinking in this way as a regulated practice
you will gradually rewaken your natural propensity to offer your every thought, word, and deed in the service of Lord Sri Krishna. And having done so you will be reawakened to your original, natural state of pure love of God, which will qualify you to enter in the spiritual world at the time of the death of your present material body, never to take birth again this hellish material existence.

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
