The Perfection of Spirituality

Nowadays many people are into spirituality but they don't want to be a part of any particular religion. They want to perfect themselves spirituality without being caught up in some religious sect. The Krishna consciousness movement offers them exactly what they seek. We accept that one can become perfect by chanting any of God's names. If lives a pure life free of sinful activities and regularly chants the holy names of God, he will become in due course of time spiritually perfect. It does not matter whether he chants Krishna, Allah, Rama, Jehovah, or Christ. We teach that through chanting any name of God one can become spiritually perfect. Therefore, we can understand that rather than being a particular religion, Krishna consciousness is the perfection of spirituality.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Some Say ISKCON is Not Hindu?

Bhagavad Gita and Lord Krishna are foundation pillars of Hindu Dharma. Lord Krishna says in Gita 4.7 and 4.8 that He appears in every age to protect Dharma. Then why do some people say that ISKCON is not a Hindu organization when it preaches Gita?

Vaisnava Charana Das

Answer: They Are Correct

My dear Vaisnava Charana Prabhu,
Please accept my obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

“Hindu” is word that was coined by the Muslims. It is not found anywhere in the Vedic scriptures. The actual term is “Vedic religion,” the religious system based on the Vedic scriptures. So we agree with them that we are not Hindus. Personally I was born and raised as a Christian in the USA. When I joined this movement in 1971 and got initiated by Srila Prabhupada I never thought that I was becoming a Hindu. I understood that by fully surrendering to Lord Krishna I was achieving the perfection of religion, transcendental to all designations of Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Sikh, Jain, etc and simultaneously the perfection of all religious designations.

Hoping this meets you well,

Your servant,
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
