How Do We Know Who We Are?

The modern day materialistic society is based on the bodily concept of life. "I am this body." But if we use a little common sense, we can see that is fallacious. Ask yourself these simple questions, "Do my eyes see, or am I seeing through my eyes? Do my ears hear, or I am my hearing through my ears?". It becomes obvious by simple observation that the seer/hearer is not the material elements of which the eyes and the ears are made. These are simply tools that the non-material self is using to see and hear. Therefore the actual self is no material. It is spiritual.

Please accept my respectful obeisances at your lotus feet

Thanks a lot for the online classes and the enlightenment to all the conditioned souls like me. Recently I tried to donate a Bhagavad-gita As It Is to a practicing lady doctor, but she denied to take it even for free

She said she will not read it as already she read Bhagavad-gita at the age of 16. (Now she is in the early thirties). Her name is Advaita( born in Hindu family), but now she going to churches and reading Bible only. She says she is fully depending in Christ only and Christ reveal to her through the dreams. I tried to convince her that Christ is the great son of God and by reading Bhagavad-gita she will have a proper understanding of God, but I did not succeed. I told her that I have also read the Bible and that the Bible does not say that Jesus is God. However she insists that the Bible confirms that Jesus is God

I failed to convince her, but if i meet her again how can I convince her to read the Bhagavad-gita. Does the Bible say that Jesus is God?

I am fully convinced that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead based on all Vedic literature

Answer: Jesus is God, the Son

My Dear Madhusoodanan,

Please accept my blessings.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

We also accept that Jesus is God, but not God, the Father. He is God the Son. Our philosophy is that the spiritual master is the mercy incarnation of God. The guru is an external manifestation of the Lord Who is situated in our heart.

That He is not God the Father is proven by his famous Lord's Prayer in which Jesus prays to his heavenly father, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name." Does this foolish doctor think that Jesus is talking to himself like some kind of mad man?

So don't bother trying to convince her to read Bhagavad-gita. Just defeat her rascal notion that Jesus is the Supreme Person, when instead he confirms himself to be the totally sold out servant of the Supreme Person.

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 ...
