Happiness is a Job Well Done

When I was a young boy my father, Lorren Bridge, told me, "Son, happiness is a job well done" because he took great satisfaction in doing things nicely. He also advised me, "Do a job right or don't do it all." Because I was not all inspired to get ahead in the material world because I did not see any purpose or meaning in it I said, "Then I will not do it at all." It was only when I was blessed by discovering my spiritual father, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, that I could understand the real meaning of "Happiness is a job well done." Doing a job well means doing it flawlessly and offering the results of that work to Krishna. This is how we can experience unlimited peace and satisfaction in our activities.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Deal with Threats?

Hare Krishna Maharaj,
Please accept my humble obeisances.

I have read your thought for the day of 15/09/2021, and I was more than happy to see devotees have developed farms and living life peacefully and in Lord's remembrance. I also want to get rid of this materialistic way of life and the cutthroat competition which I am going through now. It's very stressful to be in this "rat race"! I am working on getting rid of this situation soon and take shelter of devotees and the Lord. But I sometimes worry will the societies and organizations that are pushing us to a materialistic way of life and "be" in this rat race will not like this. And this may backfire on devotees in the form of threats. Because if everyone is getting out of the rat race then there will be no one to work and earn money for their company, which will affect their false ego!

Do you think such threats can take place with devotees? And if yes then how should we be prepared? I know there are different examples of devotees who were threatened (read the salt book!) but the motives behind those threats were different.

Your insignificant servant,
Mrunal

Have you yet scrutinizingly studied the Bhagavd-gita as it is to see how Arjuna by Krishna's grace became empowered to overcome all of the opposing elements on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra?

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
