Super Ecstatic Memories of Srila Prabhupada

On the evening of 6 January 2020 when I arrived in Los Angeles I was interviewed by my Godbrother, His Grace Sriman Siddhanta Prabhu, regarding my memories of Srila Prabhupada. It was a wonderful experience to remember and relate so many wonderful experiences I had with Srila Prabhupada. We eagerly await when the editing is done and the video is available for the world to see.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Dissatisfied Devotees?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Dandavat Pranam

It is true that devotees are in the mode of goodness and they also feel the peace of mind, they are learned, tolerant, humble and intellectual. But I have seen many sincere devotees who felt dissatisfied and felt that they haven't yet got the real spiritual bliss of krishna consciousness. They realized that this material world is the place of suffering but could not achieve the taste of spiritual world even after the sincere practice of many years.

Also whenever the senior devotees are asked about whether they have seen Krishna face to face they say that we will see Him. but they actually dont tell that we see Krishna. we can talk to Krishna. why they tell like this?

I was just asking because i am loosing faith now after seeing devotees practicing bhakti for years after years who becomes dissatisfied.

Please forgive me for any offenses.

Answer: Not Properly Practicing Krishna Consciousness

From: ISKCON Los Angeles
My Dear Sanket,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Those who take to this process but do not taste spiritual bliss have not properly taken to this process. Anyone who properly executes the bhakti yoga system will personally experience what Lord Krishna describes
in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 5, Text 21 as follows:

bāhya-sparśeṣv asaktātmā
vindaty ātmani yat sukham
sa brahma-yoga-yuktātmā
sukham akṣayam aśnute

"Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme."

Because Krishna is the light of the sun everyone has seen God. Proportionately as one develops loving feelings for Him one will see will more and more see Him as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the original source of all existence.

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
