Cheaters and the Cheated

When Srila Prabhupada was giving a lecture on the Nectar of Devotion in Mumbai, India on January 6,1973 he spoke as follows:

"If there is some political meeting giving only bluff, lots of bluffs only, and people gather there by thousands and millions to hear the bluff. My Guru Maharaja therefore used to say that this present human society is a society of the cheaters and the cheated. Somebody is being cheated and somebody is cheater, a combination of two things, cheater and the cheated, because they do not know the real interest of life. And anyone who will speak all nonsense and bluff, he will be very much adored. This is going on."

Our Krishna consciousness movement is not based on this cheating principle. Lord Sri Krishna is our most intimate well-wishing friend who never cheats us in any way. And we are simply his messenger servants to connect everyone with His loving mercy.

Challenge: You Are All Thieves

You all are thieves and your course is only for rich persons who donate a bunch of money to your institution. Recently I made the mistake of registering for Vipassana, a similar course and literature. Vipassana refused my request as I am not on their money donor list. As as a result my faith is now broken in such institutions whose only business is to collect money.

I hate all such institutions and request from my side that you never ever email back to me. I don't want any emails from such fraud institutions.

My Dear Harman,

We have nothing to do with the Vipassana course that you have mentioned. Nor have we even heard of it before. We are aware that most of what is going on in the material world is simply an affair of of the cheaters and the cheated. But we are not a cheating business. We never demand money from anyone. Our teachings are our gift of love to you. We simply want to serve you by teaching you how to achieve perfect happiness. But as per your request we are now removing you from our mailing list.

Sincerely,

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.
