Lord Sri Krishna is Unlimitedly Astonishing

Who can be more astonishing than Krishna? All of the most amazing things of this world are only a mere fraction of a fraction of a fraction of His unlimitedly astonishing glories. All of the attractive things of this world such as a ravingly beautiful woman or a magical, splendorous sunrise are only attractive because Krishna has invested them with a slight portion of a portion of a portion of His unlimited attractiveness. This is why when a person becomes fully Krishna consciousness he is unlimitedly satisfied by relishing the most astonishing attractiveness of Lord Sri Krishna twenty-four hours a day in all times, places, and circumstances. There can indeed be no one more attractive than Krishna because He is the source of all attractiveness.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Who is the Supreme God?

Who is the supreme god, Lord Vishnu or Lord Krishna? Please explain in detail.

Padmanabham Vasudev

Answer: Both, But Krishna is the Original

My Dear Padmanabham,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Both of them are the Supreme, but Krishna is the original Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is origin of Vishnu. Vishnu is Krishna Himself in an expanded form engaged in the pastime of manifesting the multi-universes from His breathing.

You can think of it like God at home, and God in His workplace. Krishna is God at home in His most amazing loving pastimes with His intimate devotees and Vishnu is God at His workplace manifesting unlimited
universes from His transcendental body.

It is confirmed by Lord Brahma that Lord Sri Krishna is the source of Lord Vishnu in Brahma Samhita,Chapter 5, Text 48:

yasyaika-niśvasita-kālam athāvalambya
jīvanti loma-vilajā jagad-aṇḍa-nāthāḥ
viṣṇur mahān sa iha yasya kalā-viśeṣo
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi

TRANSLATION
Brahmā and other lords of the mundane worlds, appearing from the pores of hair of Mahā-Viṣṇu, remain alive as long as the duration of one exhalation of the latter [Mahā-Viṣṇu]. I adore the primeval Lord Govinda of whose subjective personality Mahā-Viṣṇu is the portion of a portion.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.
 
Your ever well-wisher,

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 ...
