Back to Home, Back to Vrindavan-Dhama

15 October 2019 was a most auspicious day for us. Because it is on this day that we arrived in Sri Vrindavan-dhama, the most holy abode of Lord Sri Krishna. This is the holiest of all holy places. In this connection Srila Prabhupada stated on 17 September 1975:

"This is tattva, truth, that Krishna, the Supreme Person, His holy name, His form, His attributes, His pastimes, His paraphernalia, His dhama... Just like we are in Vrindavan-dhama. So why Vrindavan-dhama is worshiped? Because the Vrindavan-dhama is not different from Krishna. When you take a little dust of Vrindavan-dhama you are taking the dust of Krishna's lotus feet. Vrindavan-dhama, so important."

Whenever I arrive in Vrindavan my practice is to immediately get down in the holy dirt of Vrindavan begging for Krishna's mercy. On this arrival as soon as I got out of the vehicle I placed myself in the holy dirt of Vrindavana offering my obeisances to Lord Sri Krishna begging Him to make me His pure devotee and for His blessings that I can now make the whole world Krishna conscious.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Reconcile Scientific and Spiritual Knowledge?

How can we reconcile scientific and spiritual knowledge?

Gaurav Oberoi

Answer: Real Scientific Knowledge is Spiritual

That science which posits that matter is the basis of reality can never be rectified with spiritual knowledge because it simply is not true. Therefore such science is more correctly described as nescience or ignorance. And that science which describes spirit as the foundation of reality is already fully rectified with spiritual knowledge because it is spiritual knowledge. In other words real scientific knowledge is spiritual knowledge. Thus the greatest scientist is he who sees that the Supreme Spirit, Krishna, or God is the source of everything.

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
