Be Kind to Yourself

Sankarshan Das Adhikari
Be kind to yourself. Don't torture yourself by continuing to misidentify with your temporary material body, which is destined by the laws of material nature to get old, rot, and die. You are an eternal spiritual being qualitatively one with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, God Himself, who is the source of all existence.

Do not foolishly punish yourself by succumbing to the blind faith known as atheism. Atheism does not make any sense. Why? We see everywhere that different persons have different quantities of power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. Therefore we can logically deduce that somewhere is a person with the greatest quantity of power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, and fame. That person is the supreme person, God. So who besides a blind faith fanatic can deny that there is a supreme person?

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Jesus is God, the Son?

Dear Guru Maharaj
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Gauranga.
I was reading from your answer which states “Krishna is God, the Father. Jesus is God, the Son.” which I cannot not understand. If I took it as it is literally written, then others might also take it the same way, which would then be wrong as Krishna is the only Supreme Personality of Godhead. Does the Vedic Scriptures make reference of Jesus?
Thanks and kind regards.
Your servant,
Sathia Moonsamy

Answer: Spiritual Master is as Good as God

My Dear Sathia,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It is not that He is God, but because he purely represents God, He is accepted as being as good as God.  In this connection Srila Prabhupada has taught us that the spiritual master is the Supreme Personality of servitor Godhead.
Here is what he has written in his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 1, Text 46:
"Only out of His immense compassion does the Personality of Godhead
reveal Himself as the spiritual master. Therefore in the dealings of an
acarya there are no activities but those of transcendental loving service
to the Lord. He is the Supreme Personality of Servitor Godhead. It is
worthwhile to take shelter of such a steady devotee, who is called
asraya-vigraha, or the manifestation or form of the Lord of whom
one must take shelter."
Yes, Jesus Christ was predicted in the Bhavisya Purana.
Hoping this meets you in good health. 

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races.
