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

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.

Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Krishna Accepts those Who Are Ugly?

My dear Srila Gurudeva
Please accept my humble obeisances

I think Krishna doesn’t want to accept me because I know I am extremely ugly from inside and outside and He is always around his beautiful devotees. But since you say that that’s not the case, when will I attain Krishna?

I wish I could place my head on yours and Gurumataji’s lotus feet
Your ugly servant

Answer: Yes

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Beautiful Student,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Yes that's a fact when we regain our original loving relationships with Krishna. In this material world we are all ugly, but in our original spiritual forms we are all beautiful. Whether we are ugly or beautiful Krishna sees us as beautiful and loves us unlimitedly. Thus He wants us to surrender to Him so that we can regain our original beautiful natures and re-enter into our original unlimitedly beautiful loving relationships with Him in any one of five primary rasas, which are:

1. Neutrality
2. Servitorship
3. Friendship
4. Parenthood
5. Conjugal

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
