The World Religion

Sankarshan Das Adhikari
There is one Supreme Person, the source of all existence. And there is only one method of connecting with Him. That method is pure devotional service. No matter what religious tradition one follows, the essence of religion is one and the same, to develop a pure loving relationship with that Supreme Person, Who is the source of all existence. The Krishna consciousness movement recognizes the validity of any religious system that brings one to the point of fully surrendering oneself to the will of God. The problem with all modern day religionists is that instead of approaching God to fully surrender unto Him, they approach Him to fulfill their material desires. Such an approach to God is not religion. Real religion means to fully surrender oneself to the will of God. This what we teach here in the Krishna consciousness movement. Therefore our movement is the perfection of religion.

Answer: God Very Kindly Revealed Him to Me

I was desiring to attain spiritual enlightenment and was thus studying the mood of Lord Jesus Christ to discover what was his secret that made him spiritually perfect. One day I found it. He prays “Father, not my will, but Thy will be done.” So I knew that I had to adopt the same mood of being the totally dedicated servant of God in order to become spiritually enlightened. When I prayed to God to reveal to me how I could become His perfect servant He connected with my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who has taught me how to fully absorb myself in the loving service of God. with my every thought, word, and deed in all times, places and circumstances. I accepted initiation from him in 1971 and have since then fully dedicated my life for bringing spiritual enlightenment to the entire human society.

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 ...
