Unlimited Nectar in Krishna's Name

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 dances in the courtyard of the heart, it conquers the activities of the mind, and therefore all the senses become inert.”

We are now inviting the whole to taste this unlimitedly sweet nectar. If and when they do so all of the world's problems will be solved. This place will become like a paradise.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Different Planets in Spiritual World?

I have a doubt. In some of your lectures, you had told that the spiritual world has many Vaikuntha planets and the topmost planet is Goloka Vrindavana. So is it that the residents of Vaikuntha planets are not allowed to enter or stay in Goloka Vrindavana? Are they less privileged devotees? Why so? In fact I suppose there should be only one planet in the spiritual world so that Krishna sees all the residents equally. Or is it that residents of Vaikuntha planets do not worship Krishna?

Kindly clarify my doubts.

Regards,
Radha Ramana

Answer: Different Moods of Devotion

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Radha Ramana,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The spiritual world is a world of full freedom. Those who want to serve Krishna in His original form go to Goloka Vrindavan. And those who
prefer to serve Krishna in one of His unlimited expanded forms go to that particular planet where Krishna in that particular form is the
predominating deity. And if someone anywhere the spiritual world wants to switch his attachment to a different form, he can do that and he will be facilitated by being relocated to that planet where his preferred form of Krishna is the predominating deity.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
