Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Serve God or Serve the Needy?

A question often arises in my mind....
When will Lord Krishna be more happy?
Will he be happy when we are serving Him, or will He be even happier when we are serving the needy people?

Answer: Do Both Simultaneously

My Dear Rahul,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

No matter how much material welfare we may provide to the needy this material world is always by its very a place of suffering. Everyone (the
rich, the poor, and everyone in between) is forced to suffer the fourfold miseries of birth, death, old age, and disease.

Therefore the only permanent relief we can give to the needy (which is ultimately everyone) is to provide them with the means to go back to their original home in the spiritual world, where all forms of suffering are conspicuous by their absence.

God Himself appeared 500 years in the form of Lord Caitanya and ordered us to help all of the needy people in this material world by liberating from their bondage here in the prison of material existence by teaching them how to regain their original home in the spiritual world. He said:

yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa
āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra’ ei deśa

“Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. In this way become a
spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.”

So becoming a guru as described above is simultaneously the best service to God and to the needy. (The needy is everyone in this material world.)

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 ...
