Can a Christian Be a Devotee of Krishna?

Can a Christian Be a Devotee of Krishna?
I know for a fact that a Christian can be a devotee of Krishna because it was Jesus Christ who inspired me to become Krishna's devotee. Seeing the perfect example of Lord Jesus Christ of someone who was fully surrendered to God, in 1971 I was praying sincerely to God again and again, day after day, begging Him to guide me how to be His perfect servant so I could become like Jesus, a fully self realized person. Krishna answered my prayer by guiding me how to surrender to Him by becoming a disciple of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Thus if somebody asks me if I am a Christian, I can tell them that I am a Hare Krishna Christian.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Is Jesus, the Only Way?

Jesus as a representative of the word of God says, "No one comes to the Father except through me." How does one understand the other gurus in light of this?

Answer: His Way is Undoubtedly the Only Way

My Dear Mfdr,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

He was speaking in a part of the world where he was the only bona fide guru. This means that no one comes to the Father, the Supreme Lord, God, except those who come in the way taught by Lord Jesus Christ, full surrender to the will of God. All bona fide gurus teach the same principle and therefore also serve as channels through which one can surrender fully to God.

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?

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.
