No Luggage Carts

When we landed here in South Africa on the evening of 22 June 2019 and retrieved our luggage from the luggage carousel we were met with the difficulty of there being no luggage carts. Although hundreds of luggage carts we available outside the luggage retrieval area, because our arrival was an international arrival we were not allowed to out to get a luggage cart. And although I complained to many airport employees, they had no interest in helping us get a cart. When I went to an office to ask for help I was chastised for entering the office. So it was with great difficulty that we somehow managed to proceed with our many pieces of luggage to the arrivals area where the devotees were waiting for us.

It became very clear to me at that this point that when the government leaders are not guided by Krishna conscious men the resultant reaction is so much mismanagement filtering down to every level of the human society. This another one of the many reason why we must have a class of Krishna consciousness spiritual leaders universally recognized as the top rung of the social system. I pray that that day come as soon as possible. May it come soon.

Priya Solanki

Answer: Fully Surrender to Krishna

From: Pretoria, South Africa

My Dear Priya,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Lord Sri Krishna is also called Laxminath, the lord of the goddess of fortune. Therefore those who fully take shelter of Him have no financial difficulties. If we try to enjoy life separately from the Lord, sometimes we experience the special blessing of financial difficulty to help us remember that this problematic material world is not our real home, that our actual home is in the all-blissful spiritual world.

So now my best advice to you is that if you and your family will now fully dedicate yourself to loving Krishna by chanting His holy names as much as possible every day and giving up all varieties of sinful activities, all of your difficulties will be finished and you all will attain the greatest blessing of pure love of God.

In regards to chanting God's names, these are the names that you should chant as much as possible every day:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे ||
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||

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?

Image
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.
