Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How Did You Become Self-Realized?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my obeisances.

I listened to your interview with Rob and I want to know your complete experience of coming to self realization from the very beginning.

Please accept my humble request.
Your devotee,
Tanisha. 🙏

Answer: Here's a Thumbnail Sketch

My Dear Tanisha,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The full story will be coming out in my upcoming book, "Conquer Your Mind and Deliver the World." But in brief I can explain that as a college student I was frustrated and depressed because I did not know the meaning of my existence. But then when a fellow student told me about self-realization that became my goal in life. Then after another friend introduced me to the Hare Krishna mantra and I experienced great joy in chanting Hare Krishna and offering my food to Krishna I decided that now my career path would be to renounce the world and live as a holy man in India. However on the way to India I realized that if I was going to renounce everything I would also have to renounce renunciation. So it was then I resolved to dedicate my life for bringing a spiritual revolution in our planet. Instead of leaving the world, stay in the world and make a spiritual revolution. For two years I tried this on my own by becoming a popular singer/songwriter but with no success in making a spiritual revolution. So I then turned my focus again to self realization. Knowing Jesus Christ to be a self-realized soul I then sought to become like Him, totally surrendered to the will of God. So I began a practice of praying to God every day asking Him to make me His perfect servant. In answer to my prayer Krishna sent His Holiness Vishnujana Swami to Austin who then convinced me to become a disciple of Srila Prabhupada, and I rededicated my life to making that spiritual revolution according to the instructions and orders given by Srila Prabhupada.

So now I want to see your journey perfection.

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.
