Why Regularly Read Our Daily Broadcasts?

Most of what we get from the internet is pure garbage, a complete total waste of time because it does not liberate us from the cycle of birth and death. To the contrary, it tightens the knot of our material attachments. However what we present here in our daily Thought for Day broadcast and our Weekly Lessons is of a completely different nature. The special blessing we offer to you is to give you topics directly in relation to Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the source of all existence, Who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and the best well-wishing friend of all living beings. Connecting with Krishna brings us back to our original eternal, fully blissful, fully cognizant actual conscious identities situated far, far beyond all of the miseries of this material existence, such as birth, death, old age, and disease. So remember this the next time you decide whether or not you decide to open one of our daily emails. We offer you every day the supreme benediction, Krishna consciousness. You were ready today. That's why you are here now. Please come back every day without fail and you will be benefited unlimitedly.

I am trying to understand how to say your chant. Can you tell me what it means? I am of another faith.

Answer: Here's How

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Irma,

Please accept my blessings.

Although there are different religious faiths religion is one, to become a lover of God. Just like there are many different names for the sun in different languages, but still the sun is one, similarly there are many different names for God in different religions, but still God is one. Therefore religion means to become a totally surrendered lover of God no matter by which name you choose to call Him.

Just like in the Bible, Jesus Christ prays to God, "Not my will, but Thy will be done." The perfect prayer in all religions is to pray to God that you can be His totally surrendered servant. The prayer for total surrender to God that we have been given is:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे ||
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||

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
