Vyas Puja--The Appearance Day of the Spiritual Master

Vyas Puja--The Appearance Day of the Spiritual Master
The above painting illustrates Srila Vyasadeva, the compiler of the Vedic wisdom, receiving his transcendental knowledge from Lord Sri Krishna. That knowledge has now been made widely available to the modern day world by ISKCON Founder:Acharya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada taught us to celebrate the appearance day of the spiritual master as Vyasa Puja because the spiritual master is the representative of Srila Vyasadeva.

On the order of Srila Prabhupada that after his disappearance his disciples should accept disciples and with authorization of ISKCON's
GBC (Governing Body Commission) I have now since 2001 been accepting disciples from all over the world. It is the duty of my disciples and those who aspire to be my disciples to worship me on the day of my appearance. On the Vedic calendar that day is the 10th day of the most holy month of Kartik, which corresponds this year to 10 November.

To observe my Vyas Puja the celebrants should fast until noon and at noon offer to me and Lord Krishna a prasadam feast.

My disciples here in Austin, where I am presently situated, have, under the expert guidance of good wife, know to my disciples as "Gurumataji", make arrangements for a nice celebration which will be available for viewing as described below by my disciple, Ananda Vardhana Das:

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below.
