Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?
Jesus Christ is a great Vaisnava acharya who preached God consciousness 2,000 years ago. He taught that we should fully surrender ourselves unto the will of God. Unfortunately even though the Bible teaches "Thou shalt not kill," in the Christian world the killing of innocent animals and the eating of their flesh is extremely popular. In other words the modern day Christians are actually only so-called Christians because they are not truly following the teachings of Lord Jesus Christ.

It was the teachings of Lord Jesus that inspired me to surrender to Krishna when I ready his prayer to Krishna, "Father, not my will, but Thy will be done." This is why I sometimes describe myself as a "Christian Hare Krishna."

We ardently hope now that the millions of so-called Christians in the world will become real Christians so we can save the lives of the 156 million innocent animals that are murdered every day in the world's slaughterhouses.

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Where is Krishna's Heaven?

Dear Sankarshan Das Adhikari,
I have a few questions. Where is Krishna's heaven? Is it far away? How can our soul go there when we die? I was told that our soul can go there in a very short time. I don't understand why dead objects such as a rock, is also a living being in Krishna's heaven. If we don't practise Krishna consciousness but remember Krishna when we are about to die, can we go to Krishna's heaven? Will Krishna come to bring our soul to heaven. Is Jesus Christ the son of Krishna? If we believe in Jesus, will we be ok?

Best Regards,

Answer: Beyond this Material Existence

My Dear David,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The spiritual world is beyond this material existence. It is 3/4ths of all existence and the material world is the 1/4th portion.

At the time of death the pure devotee is immediately transferred to the spiritual world faster than a radio wave and can cross the ocean.

In the spiritual world the rocks are also living beings.

If you don't practice Krishna consciousness, you will not remember Krishna at the time of death. Your mind will be absorbed in whatever you absorbed your life in.

Jesus is the son of Krishna. If you truly believe in Jesus, you will follow his example and fully surrender to Krishna. Otherwise your "belief" is superficial, it is not genuine.

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 ...
