Always Remain Equipoised

One of the most essential practices that we should all master on the path of self-realization is the art of always remaining equipoised in all situations. Whether we are honored or dishonored; chastised, praised, or ignored; in a healthy state or diseased state, we should everything equally as the mercy of Krishna. Whether the weather is hot or cold or whether we are rich or poor, or whether we are facing happiness or distress, we should again see everything equally as the unlimited kindness of Lord Sri Krishna upon this. In this way we will be sages of steady mind always deep sea diving in the ocean of unlimited transcendental bliss called Krishna consciousness.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Where is God Now?

Where is God in this Kali yuga? What is He doing? Do the scriptures mention anything about this?

Answer: He Has Appeared in His Holy Names

Dear Luna,
Please accept my blessings.

In this most materialistic age of Kali God has very kindly appeared in a way that can be easily accessed by anyone and everyone, even a small child. He has appeared in the form of His holy names:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

Chant these names with love, and your life will become undoubtedly sublime. If you do so, the contamination of this most materialistic age of Kali will simply bounce of you. You will become fully immune to the disease of materialism.

It is stated in the Kali-Santarana Upanisad as follows:

hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa
kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
hare rāma hare rāma
rāma rāma hare hare
itiṣoḍaśakaṁ nāmnāṁ
kali -kalmaṣa-nāśanam
nātaḥ parataropāyaḥ
sarva-vedeṣu dṛśyate

"After searching through all the Vedic literature one cannot find a method of religion more sublime for this age than the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra."

Hoping this meets you happily chanting Hare Krishna with love,

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 ...
