Urgent Need in Puerto Rico

My dear Readers,

Today I pass on to you an urgent message from our ISKCON devotees in Puerto Rico. Their temple was totally destroyed by a hurricane in 2017, and due to a shortagea of funds they still have not been able to rebuild their temple. So I am requesting everyone to contribute as much as possible to this very important cause.
--------------------------------------------------------------

On September 20th, 2017 Puerto Rico suffered one of the most devastating hurricanes in our history. Our temple was destroyed and after almost two years of this event, we are still struggling with its reconstruction. Some efforts had been made so far to raise funds, but not enough.

The reason I come to you for help and with hope, is because I experienced through your online “Ultimate Self Realization Course” that Krishna has blessed you with so many wonderful devotees and pious people all around the world. Please help us to get closer to our goal!

The total cost of the temple reconstruction in Puerto Rico is $875,000 from which we already have collected the amount of $140,000. The contractors are Mr. Dilip Shah (an Indian living in Puerto Rico) and Mr. Raivata Prabhu (a devotee living in Mayapur).

I beg your favor regarding this matter and appreciate any help you can provide for ISKCON Gurabo, Puerto Rico Temple.

Hare krishna!

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Image
Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation? Since you answered questions related to understanding the real need of sex in a human being's life, so I also request you to please enlighten us with the knowledge about semen conservation, it's importance, and the consequences of frequently releasing it thorough sex or masturbation.
