Whose Lives Matter?

Do Cow's Lives Matter?

Do Cow's Lives Matter?
At present the Black Lives Matter movement is going on with great momentum in many places throughout the world. But why only black lives? Krishna teaches us in the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 5, Text 18:

vidyā-vinaya-sampanne
brāhmaṇe gavi hastini
śuni caiva śva-pāke ca
paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ

"The humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste]."

So until we can respect the right to life for all living beings whatever "lives matter" campaign we are promoting will be incomplete and imperfect with no real lasting benefit for the world society. Instead we should be promoting the Krishna consciousness movement because wherever there is Krishna consciousness all lives are given respect even the insignificant insects.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: What is My Relationship with Krishna?

Which bhava should I have for Lord Krishna (as a servant, as a lover, etc)? Could you help me I am really confused!

Shree Keshava

Answer: You Are Krishna's Eternal Servant

Dear Shree Keshava,
Please accept my blessings.

You are the eternal servant of Krishna. Only after you are perfect in service to Him will you realize your bhava, your intimate personal loving relationship with Lord Sri Krishna, the source of all existence, as a cowherd girl, a cowherd boy, a cow, a calf, a peacock, or whatever. If you try to bypass being the Lord’s totally sold out servant and jump prematurely to your bhava, you will not be successful. You will remain in material existence. To guide you how to attain your bhava Krishna orders you to become a disciple of the bona fide spiritual master. So this is your first step. By fully surrendering to the bona fide spiritual master you will become perfect in your surrender to Krishna. It is only after doing this that your bhava, your eternal intimate relationship with the Lord, will be revealed to you.

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
