How to Find a Bona Fide Guru?

Unfortunately in this present of age of Kali, the most materialistic age, it is very easy to find a guru who will rob you of your money, but very difficult to find a guru who can steal away all of your anxiety. Personally, I was misguided by several so-called gurus who could do nothing to teach me about genuine spiritual awakening. Under their misguidance my sufferings in material existence continued. But when I realized that my only real happiness was to fully surrender. myself to the will of God and begged Him for His guidance at that time the bona fide spiritual master was revealed to me. Thus on 12 August 1971 I was blessed by Krishna or God with the greatest of all benedictions. I was accepted on that day as a duly initiate disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Since that day almost a half a century ago my life has been transformed from agonizing depression into the most exciting and thrilling adventure at every minute. Anyone who does what I have done, fully surrendering themselves as the initiated disciple of a bona fide spiritual master, will reap the same most astoundingly sublime results that I have tasted, a life of ever-increasing transcendental bliss.

So it's up to you now to decide what you want to do. I hope you make the right choice because it hurts me to see people suffering.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Recognize Who is My Guru?

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

My query is as follows:

How can we identify an uttama adhikari vaishnava (the devotee of Krishna on the highest level of spiritual perfection)? What are the ways?
How to recognize our guru who is sent by Krishna for us? How can we confirm that intuition coming from our heart while choosing a guru is spiritual and not my mind's illusion?

Thank you.

Answer: Sincerely Beg Lord Krishna to Reveal This to You

From: Santiago, Chile

My Dear Rishi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada defines an uttama adhikari (highest level Vaisnava) as follows in his purport in the Nectar of Instruction
for Text 5:

"When a person realizes himself to be an eternal servitor of Kṛṣṇa, he loses interest in everything but Kṛṣṇa's service. Always thinking of Kṛṣṇa, devising means by which to spread the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, he understands that his only business is in spreading the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world. Such a person is to be recognized as an uttama-adhikārī, and his association should be immediately accepted according to the six processes (dadāti pratigṛhṇāti, etc.). Indeed, the advanced uttama-adhikārī Vaiṣṇava devotee should be accepted as a spiritual master."

It is not difficult for you to find which guru Krishna has sent for you to take initiation from. You simply have to every day beg Lord Krishna to reveal for you from whom you should accept initiation. When your prayer is pure,
free from all material motives, Krishna will immediately make it clear to you from whom you should accept initiation and you will know that it is not your mind's illusion.
I hope this meets you in the best of health
and in an ecstatic mood.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
