Torture or Reward Ourselves

Our actual position is that we are eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. So why should we torture ourselves by misidentification with our temporary material bodies? Such misidentification unfortunately chokes off our ability to engage in actual loving relationships, and thus without tasting true love we will not be able to find genuine satisfaction. Thus we will remain in a frustrated state not being able to taste real happiness. Because to taste constant happiness is our real constitutional nature when such real happiness is not tasted we will imagine ourselves to be happy even when factually we are in the most miserable, abominable situations. This is called illusory happiness and it brings us no satisfaction at all. The solution for this madness is to come to Krishna consciousness by perfectly dovetailing all of our thoughts, words, and deeds with the pleasure of the Supreme Person. In such a perfect stage of consciousness we will taste unlimited, ever-increasing bliss at every minute. So it is now our choice whether we want to torture ourselves or reware ourselves.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: When Vedic Knowledge Was Transmitted?

My Dear Respected Gurudeva.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

When was Vedic knowledge transmitted to souls on this planet with the understanding that it is eternal knowledge?

Adrienne Ridenhower Wingfield

Answer: From the Beginning of Our Universe

My Dear Adrienne,
Please accept my blessings.
The Vedic knowledge was first transmitted into the heart of Brahma, the predominating demigod of our universe, by Lord Krishna 155 trillion years ago at the beginning of our universe. Then Lord Krishna personally appeared on this planet to transmit the same Vedic knowledge 5,000 years ago. Many realized spiritual masters also transmitted it after that. It was again purely transmitted 500 years ago by Lord Krishna appearing in the form of His own devotee, Lord Caitanya, and after that by the many spiritual masters who are the pure devotees of Krishna and Lord Caitanya. And 50 years ago it was transmitted by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and right now it is being transmitted all over the world by those who are strictly following Prabhupada. And as a follower of Lord Brahma, Lord Krishna, Lord Caitanya, and Prabhupada I am also purely transmitting the Vedic knowledge in my e-course. Everyone is invited to sign up for it at: Ultimate Self Realization

Hoping this meets you well,

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

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.
