How to Always Be Blissful

This material world is the world of dualities: pain and pleasure, happiness and distress, gain and loss, victory and defeat, honor and dishonor, etc. So as long as we misidentify with our material bodies and our material situation we will never find lasting peace and satisfaction. However if we will always remember the transcendental name, fame, forms, pastimes, and paraphernalia of that inconceivably sweet person named Krishna Who is standing on the bank of Yamuna River at Kesi Ghat playing the fifth note on His flute in the full moon night of the sharat season, we will empowered to properly identify as the eternal all-blissful spiritual beings, servants of Krishna, that we factually are.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Guru/Disciple Relationship is Eternal?

Hare Krishna, Srila Gurudeva.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Your Divine Grace and Srimati Gurumataji.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.

My dear Srila Gurudeva,

Pardon me for the trouble due this mail.

But due to my dull brain I couldn't ask my question properly in today's class. My question was:

Is the relationship between the spiritual master and disciple eternal, and is this eternal relationship established from the date of initiation?

Can a disciple engage in Krishna's service in the association and guidance of his spiritual master even in the spiritual world?

Because I can't imagine myself to be happy and peaceful without Your Divine Grace and Srimati Gurumataji in this material world and even in spiritual world.

Please kindly clarify my confusion.

And please bless me with devotion unto Your Grace and Srimati Gurumataji's lotus feet always.

Your aspiring disciple,
Bhaktin Shivani

Answer: Yes

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Bhaktin Shivani,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Every day we sing to the spiritual master
in Guru Vandana:

"janme janme prabhu sei,
He is my Lord birth after birth."

Therefore, yes, from the day of initiation the relationship between the spiritual master and the disciple is eternal. So it will continue for all of eternity in the spiritual world.

Srila Prabhupada said that we will have another ISKCON there. So you will certainly find me and my wife, Srimati Gurumataji, your guru mother in that most amazing, wonderful world. So in the spiritual world you will be able to lovingly serve me, your spiritual master, as well as Gurumataji, your guru mother.

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
