Whatever Krishna Does is All Right

Image
In this time of great global tribulation we should never forget that whatever Krishna does is all right. In the short term things sometimes seem really bad. But when you see the big picture you can see things from a different perspective. The video below, which is rerun of a video we posted in 2018, gives a very nice example of how whatever Krishna does is all right. If you have any questions, please write me at: sda@backtohome.com Whatever Krishna Does is All Right--Video for the Day--21 July 2018 Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: Spiritual Poverty Which countries suffer from spiritual poverty?

The Total Absurdity of Atheism

Image
The atheists are very proud of their philosophy. That consider that all those accept the existence of God are nothing more than a bunch of fools deluded by blind faith. But by careful analysis we can see that it is actually they are the blind faith fools. Why is that? The philosophical foundation of atheism is that everything has come from nothing, that therefore nothingness is the source of all existence. But where do we have any experience or scientific evidence of anything come from nothing? The scientific fact is that nothing comes from nothing. Everything comes from something. Therefore real science and philosophy means to find out that original source from which everything has sprung. This original source is described as follows in the Vedanta Sutra: janmādy asya yataḥ "The Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates." Thus we see that theism is based on science while atheism is based on nescience. If you have any questions, please write me at:

Unlimited Nectar in Krishna's Name

Image
We learn the science of Krishna consciousness from the great self-realized spiritual masters who are qualified to see Krishna face to face. One of the most amazing teachings in all of the Vedic literature has been very wonderfully given to us by Srila Rupa Goswami, the foremost teacher of the science of bhakti. He has blessed us with the following verse in the Vidagdha-mādhava (1.15), a seven-act play that he has written describing the pastimes of Sri Krishna in Vrindavan: tuṇḍe tāṇḍavinī ratiṁ vitanute tuṇḍāvalī-labdhaye karṇa-kroḍa-kaḍambinī ghaṭayate karṇārbudebhyaḥ spṛhām cetaḥ-prāṅgaṇa-saṅginī vijayate sarvendriyāṇāṁ kṛtiṁ no jāne janitā kiyadbhir amṛtaiḥ kṛṣṇeti varṇa-dvayī TRANSLATION “I do not know how much nectar the two syllables ‘Krish-na’ have produced. When the holy name of Krishna is chanted, it appears to dance within the mouth. We then desire many, many mouths. When that name enters the holes of the ears, we desire many millions of ears. And when the holy name

The Deliverance of All the Fallen Souls

Image
Srila Prabhupada most wonderfully enlightens us in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Second Canto, Chapter 8, Text 25 as follows: "It is said that a single pure devotee of the Lord can deliver all the fallen souls of the world. Thus one who is actually in the confidence of a pure devotee like Nārada or Śukadeva Gosvāmī and thus is empowered by one's spiritual master, as Nārada was by Brahmājī, can not only deliver himself from the clutches of māyā, or illusion, but can deliver the whole world by his pure and empowered devotional strength. The comparison to the autumnal rain that falls on muddy reservoirs of water is very appropriate. During the rainy season, all the waters of the rivers become muddy, but in the month of July-August, the autumn season, when there is a slight rainfall, the muddy waters of the rivers all over the world become at once clear. By addition of some chemical, a small reservoir of water like that of a metropolitan waterworks tank can be cleared, but

Taste the Supreme Nectar

Taste the supreme nectar of devotion by intelligently studying the sublime teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. By thoughtful analysis you will clearly see that this science of Krishna consciousness is not dogmatism or sentimentalism. Just as " H0 equals water" is a scientific principle, which when properly applied will yield the liquid known as water, when you carefully apply the principles of Krishna consciousness, you will personally realize the Supreme Truth and advance further and further to the point of personally meeting God, face to face, eye to eye. Do not think that Krishna consciousness lacks depth. It the deepest possible understanding of the Absolute Truth. On this pathway you will go deeper and deeper into the ocean of transcendental bliss and knowledge for all of eternity.

May the Whole World Now Become Krishna Conscious

At the present moment due to this global coronavirus the entire planet has been cast into great turmoil. There is humongous unemployment and a devastating lack of income. Ever-increasing numbers of people are infected and dying. Currently there is no vaccine available to keep one from catching this sometimes fatal disease. Thus people are in great fear. All over the world millions of people are keeping themselves in self-quarantine for protection. If one identifies oneself with one's material body taking the material world to be the all in all, naturally such things as this pandemic are very, very fearful. But if one realizes that he is not his body, that he is an eternal spiritual being, the eternal servant of Krishna or God, he has no anxiety because he places himself fully in the hands of his unlimitedly loving Lord Sri Krishna. Thus we are now begging Lord Sri Krishna that we can now awaken the entire world to Krishna consciousness so that everyone can be peaceful and hap

Human Life Begins When We Ask "Who Am I?"

Image
A thoughtful person inquires about his actual nature and identity. In this regard Srila Prabhupada explains in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Seventh Canto, Chapter 13, Text 33, "The real business of life is to ask 'Who am I?' and to understand one's self. One should understand the position of the living entity in this material world and understand how to return home, back to Godhead." In this human form of life we are meant to cultivate self knowledge. It is not that we should simply remain on the animal platform of eating, sleeping, mating, and defending. In the modern day world society nobody is happy because they are keeping themselves only this animal platform. Therefore our mission is to educate them how to come to human platform in which they can become self-realized and attain unlimited peace, love, and bliss.

A Little Less Miserable Every Day

Image
When you are sick you feel miserable. But you become happy when you start to recover, even though you are still ill. What's happening is that you are feeling a little less ill every day. This is a wonderful feeling. The process of spiritual awakening is similar. Material consciousness is miserable. and spiritual consciousness is pure bliss. As you begin to awaken your spiritual consciousness you are very happy and enthused to experience how your material miseries are dwindling, even though they are still there to a certain extent. Since even one percent progress in spiritual consciousness blesses us with a great feeling of happiness, just image what 2 per cent, 50 per cent, or 100 per cent must feel like!

The Solution for Coronavirus

Image
Coronavirus is a karmic reaction ravaging the earth because we are not acting in harmony with the laws, the governing principles of the universe. The only real cure for this madness and all other disturbances is that we as a global society get back in sync, in harmony with the Supreme, which is ultimately the Supreme Person, the source of all existence. Sadly our modern day leaders do not realize this. This is why they are not qualified to lead us. The world desperately needs now a new class of enlightened leaders who can bring true lasting peace and happiness to every city, town, village, and hamlet all over the world by being personally connected with the Supreme and guiding everyone else how to re-harmonize themselves with the Supreme.

First Worship of Radha and Krishna

Image
In the fall of 1968 in Denver, Colorado USA when a friend of mine named Patrick Dolan introduced me to the Hare Krishna mahamantra I became so inspired that I set up a altar with a poster of Radha Krishna (as seen below) in my apartment and began chanting Hare Krishna every day to them and offering them all of my food (vegetarian only) before eating. At the time I had not yet came into contact with the Hare Krishna movement. So to have such a strong inclination towards. Radha and Krishna before even having met the devotees indicates that I had a connection with them in a previous lifetime and it was now becoming revived.

Fearlessness Through Spiritual Vision

Image
When we see the spiritual basis of this material existence we become immediately free from all anxiety because we then are able to understand how everything is working in all times, places, and circumstances under the direction of the Supreme Person for the ultimate good. When, however, we do not see this spiritual basis we become caught up in the material dualities of heat and cold, pain and pleasure, wealth and poverty, sickness and health, birth and death, honor and dishonor, etc. Thus we suffer unnecessarily in so many ways. The way to develop that spiritual vision is to hear submissively from a person who is self-realized. Thus those who are self-realized compassionately broadcast the teachings of spiritual consciousness all over the world to relieve the suffering humanity from their countless anxieties. Unfortunately all too few people take advantage of their teachings. If you have any questions, please write me at: sd@worldleader.com The Perfection of Vision Answers

Whatever Krishna Does is All Right

Image

This understanding, this consciousness, is Krishna consciousness." So Krishna consciousness means to understand that everything is acting and moving under the direction of Krishna. Here's a rerun from 2018 from the Video for the Day series. It's a wonderful story to help us remember in this stressful time of great world wide anxiety that whatever Krishna does is all right.

Take Full Advantage of the Human Form of Life

Image
After transmigrating through eight million different forms in lower species such as plants, animals, insects, and germs, we have now arrived in the human form of life. This is the one form that gives us the option of getting out of the cycle of birth and death. Unfortunately 99.99% of the human beings are misusing this human form simply taking it as an opportunity to live a more polished form of animal life. While the animal are running on four legs, the humans are running on four wheels in their car feeling very proud of their nonsense so-called civilization, which is based on nothing more than the principle of material sense gratification. The animals base their lives on sense gratification, and the so-called humans are doing the same thing. Krishna conscious people have actual intelligence. They know what is the real purpose of human life. This they focus themselves of becoming qualified to get out of this hellish material existence by going back home, back to Godhead. If you ha
