Suffering is the Pastime of the Fools and Rascals

So you want to be happy? Or do you want to be miserable? The choice is completely, totally yours. It does not depend on anyone else. Always remember that suffering is the pastime of only the fools and rascals. So why punish yourself by remaining in material consciousness? Don't be an idiot. Awaken your dormant Krishna consciousness and be swimming at every minute in an ocean of unlimited transcendental bliss. This is real intelligence. Anything else is sheer idiocy. I hope you make the right choice because I am disappointed when anybody is suffering.

My respects to you.

Can you explain what self-realization actually is? I know I'm searching for something but don't know the destination.

Thank you.

Answer: To Know Things As They Are

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Stephen,

Please accept my blessings.

Self-realization means to realize that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and that you are His eternal servant. The self-realization science
is described in full detail in the Bhagavad-gita.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,

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
