Anxiety is Not a Curse. It is a Real Blessing

In this world people are very disturbed by anxiety. Thus they strive by so many means to get rid of their anxiety, such as having sex, getting drunk, stuffing their belly with food, watching a movie, gambling, etc. However, none of these attempts give them genuine lasting relief from anxiety. What they don't realize is that anxiety is not bad. It is simply nature's warning signal that you need to make an adjustment in your consciousness. This can be compared to warning light in our car. The warning light's coming on is not a malfunction of our car. It a blessing to have that warning light go off. It is a proper indication that some action needs to be taken for the car's benefit, like getting a tune up. Similarly anxiety is simply an appropriate, timely indication that it it is time to get a consciousness tune up. For a car tune you go to a mechanic, and for consciousness tune you go to a spiritual master.

Answer: ISKCON New Vedic Culture Center in Pune, India

Dear Manoj,

Please accept my blessings.

I highly recommend the brahmacari ashram at the ISKCON New Vedic Culture Center in Pune, India. I have already one disciple who is a monk there, and he is very happy in the wonderful atmosphere. Kindly contact His Grace Revatipati Das Brahmacari at nvcc@iskconpune.in and inform him that you are interested in becoming a monk. I sometimes visit there for lecturing, and I find the mood and atmosphere there to be absolutely sublime and divine.

Hoping this meets you well,

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
