Krishna, Kill Me or Protect Me, As You Like

Yesterday, before heading to the airport in Berlin, I took a short nap to refresh myself. Just before waking up I was dreaming that if Krishna wants to protect me, nobody can kill me; and if Krishna wants to kill me, nobody can protect me. Then as soon as I woke up, I prayed to Krishna that He can kill me or protect me as He likes, that I am fully and completely under His protection and direction.

This mood of complete dependence on the Lord is the simple and easy way to always be peaceful and happy. The trick is that we have to train ourselves how to always remain in this consciousness by being nicely engaged 24 hours a day in devotional service.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Shouldn't Vacancies of the Material World Be Filled?...

When a person crosses from the material world to the spiritual sky a vacancy is created in this material world. Shouldn't somebody fill the vacancy in order to keep this material world in the right form?

Will everybody who follows Krishna Consciousness attain the spiritual, non-material world?

Sateesh

Answer: If Everyone Goes Back to Godhead, It Would Be Wonderful...

Everybody who follows the pathway of Krishna consciousness will attain the spiritual world. You don't have to worry about vacancies here in this material world. It is a prison only. If all the prisoners become reformed and the government has to close down the prison, it will be a great improvement. This material world is the prison portion of the spiritual world.

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
