How to Achieve Genuine Happiness Interview with Gloria Rand

Here is a video of when I was recently interviewed by Gloria Rand on how to achieve genuine happiness. Click here to see the video.

Factually the only real happiness in all of existence is Krishna consciousness. Every other type of happiness is only imitation happiness. It is not real happiness. So why go running after a mirage in the desert of material existence when you can get real happiness simply by chanting Hare Krishna? It's a "no-brainer"!

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Have Peace of Mind?

I feel blessed for your kind wisdom. Life is too unpredictable. It leaves us in a loop. At times I find myself overthinking over small events leading towards emotional turmoil due to my sensitive nature. How can I prevent my mind from being too critical towards materialistic life and retain my peace?

Answer: Reconnect in Love with Krishna

My Dear Ila,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

To properly situate your mind just try to see the loving hand of Lord Krishna behind everything that happens to you at every minute. It is good to find fault with material existence because that is its nature. It is full of faults. Material existence is the prison house for those of us who foolishly
decided that they no longer want to serve the Lord. So our being here in material existence means that in the far distant past we refused to serve the Lord. Thus to satisfy our foolish desire He gave us a world in which we can think that we are the Lord and can even go so far as to deny His very existence. But at the same time out of compassion for us He has appeared in this world and spoken the Bhagavad-gita to guide us how to become qualified to return to our original home in His all-perfect spiritual world.

The technique for being qualified to go back to our original home is to as much as possible chant Lord Krishna's holy names every day:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

I hope this meets you in the best of health.

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
