Why Should I Become Krishna Conscious?

Why in the world would somebody want to become Krishna conscious when they could instead focus their lives on enjoying the things of this world as much as possible? The answer is that since we are not actually creatures of this material world all of our attempts to enjoy here are artificial. This is compared to a fish trying to enjoy himself on the land. No matter what facilities you give Mr. Fish on the land he can never be satisfied because this is not his natural environment. So instead of futilely try to satisfy himself on the land, Mr. Fish should ask someone to toss him back into the water. Then and only then will he be happy.

A Fish Out of the Water...

A human without God consciousness is like A Fish Out of the Water

Is Miserable In Spite of All Facilities on the Land.

A fish out of water Is Miserable In Spite of All Facilities on the Land. Same is true for man without God Consciousness

But Back in the Water He is Happy

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
