Only a Fool Would Cheat Himself

Only a Fool Would Cheat Himself
Do not cheat yourself out of your eternal, all blissful, fully cognizant spiritual identity by misidentifying yourself with your temporary, full of ignorance, and full of misery material body. You can instead be relishing unlimited bliss at every minute by absorbing yourself fully in devotional service to Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So what are you waiting for? Stop cheating yourself. Surrender yourself fully to Lord Sri Krishna right now.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why God is Unkind?

Hare Krishna.

Why teenage death happens? When a teenager leaves his body he leaves so many dreams behind that he was desiring that he will fulfill in the future. Sot why is God being unkind?

Mrs. Shikha Chopra

Answer: It Is Rather We Who Are Unkind to Ourselves

My Dear Mrs. Chopra,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It is not that God is unkind. It is we who unkind to ourselves by not absorbing ourselves in our natural constitutional position in the Lord's spiritual energy. We suffer so many calamities because we keep ourselves unnaturally in the Lord's material energy instead of embracing a life full of bliss in the Lord's spiritual energy.

If a fish foolishly tries to enjoy life by coming to the dry land, is that God's unkindness or the fish's foolishness? Try to understand that Krishna is giving us full facility to enjoy unlimited peace and happiness at every moment. But we are stubbornly holding onto our so called independence and thus foolishly keeping ourselves in a miserable situation caught up in the net of karma.

I hope this meets you in the best of health. 

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
