Krishna's Most Amazing Pastimes

There is truly nothing more amazing in all of existence than the transcendental pastimes of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Anyone who regularly hears, remembers, and repeats these pastimes becomes a great transcendentalist liberated from this material existence. In this regard it is stated in the First Canto, Chapter 1, Text 19 of the Srimad Bhagavatam as follows:

vayaṁ tu na vitṛpyāma
uttama-śloka-vikrame
yac-chṛṇvatāṁ rasa-jñānāṁ
svādu svādu pade pade

"We never tire of hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Personality of Godhead, who is glorified by hymns and prayers. Those who have developed a taste for transcendental relationships with Him relish hearing of His pastimes at every moment."

Therefore let us all take advantage of these transcendental pastimes by hearing, remembering, and repeating them as much as possible.

Question: Mistake in Your Letter to President Trump

In the letter you wrote to President Trump it should be "when and where we can meet' - not "when are where we can meet" as written there.

Answer: Meant for Bringing About a Revolution

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA
My Dear Giridhar,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you for pointing out the small mistake I made in my letter to President Trump. In preaching work we must always be mindful of these small details.

In this connection we take shelter of the divine instructions of the Srimad Bhagavatam First Canto, Chapter 5, Text 11 as follows:

tad-vāg-visargo janatāgha-viplavo
yasmin prati-ślokam abaddhavaty api
nāmāny anantasya yaśo 'ṅkitāni yat
śṛṇvanti gāyanti gṛṇanti sādhavaḥ

"That literature which is full of descriptions of the transcendental glories of the name, fame, forms, pastimes, etc., of the unlimited Supreme Lord is a different creation, full of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution in the impious lives of this world's misdirected civilization. Such transcendental literatures, even though imperfectly composed, are heard, sung and accepted by purified men who are thoroughly honest."

Thus even though sometimes there is literary imperfection in our humble attempt to bring about a revolution in the impious lives of this world's misdirected civilization, the great transcendentalists appreciate and bless us for our humble, sometimes flawed attempts.

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
