Don't Kill Your Mother

Early this morning I made a run to the grocery store to buy a half gallon of milk for Gurumata's making some milk burfi for Sri Sri Radha Damodar. The milk department was stocked with a huge supply of milk as are millions of grocery stores all over the world. This milk is coming from the cow, who is considered to be our second mother according to the Vedic wisdom. Why our second mother? Just as we take breast milk from our first mother we also take the breast milk from our second mother, who produces far more milk than her calf can drink. But we are so cruel that when our second mother's breast milk dries up we kill her and eat her flesh. What type of civilization is this? It's a mother killing civilization. The karmic reaction from the mother killing is wreaking tremendous havoc upon the human civilization in so many ways such as the recent hurricane which recently devastated the Bahamas and thousands and millions of other difficulties.

Question: Chanting Mentioned in Bhagavad-gita?

Is chanting mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita?

Manthan Badava

Answer: Yes, Indeed

Dear Manthan,
Please accept my blessings.

Yes, chanting is indeed mentioned in the Bhagavad-gita. Lord Sri Krishna instructs us in Chapter 9, Verse 14 as follows:

satataṁ kīrtayanto māṁ
yatantaś ca dṛḍha-vratāḥ
namasyantaś ca māṁ bhaktyā
nitya-yuktā upāsate

“Always chanting My glories, endeavoring with great determination, bowing down before Me, these great souls perpetually worship Me with devotion.”

The great souls are those who are always chanting the glories of Lord Sri Krishna. This same Lord Krishna has reappeared only 500 years ago as Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Who teaches us by His example to always chant: “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare” as much as possible 24 hours daily in other to quickly and easily attain the topmost level of spiritual perfection.

If we are intelligent, we will take advantage of His instruction and thus make our lives unlimitedly sublime.

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
