The Non-Envious Well-Wishers of All Living Beings

Srila Prabhupada has very wonderfully described the non-envious nature of Krishna's devotee as follows:

"Krishna's devotee is the non-envious well-wisher of all living beings. If another devotee is more spiritually advanced than he is, he is not envious. Rather he appreciates how fortunate he is to be blessed by advanced association so he can advance further in Krishna consciousness. With such a humble, non-envious mode he will advance very quickly on the path of Krishna consciousness.Those persons who are most fortunate to get his association will be greatly blessed on their path towards spiritual perfection."

From this description each one of us can analyze ourselves to see whether or not we are factually Krishna conscious.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Non-Devotees Avoid Us?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Thank you for today's enlightening lecture on envy. (www.LiveLectures.net). You cut through so many misconceptions.

Just like we devotees are trying to distance ourselves from envious non-devotees. Is it possible that non-devotees distance themselves from us because of mistaking us to be envious of their enjoying mentality.

I mention this only because there was a phase in my past (during my student life) where I (temporarily) lost my faith in God. I do not remember being envious of God. I sincerely believe that it was more due to a victim mentality. I was always taught to treat God as my order supplier. My question is: Is every non believer necessarily a demon?

Considering that 800,000 people die by suicide in the world each year, I can't stress enough about the positive services you are doing to our society. Please continue to engage me in your services. I have no other hope for progress.

Regards,
Bhakta Dhiraj

Answer: Because We Are Opposed to Sense Gratification

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Bhakta Dhiraj,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Non-devotees avoid us because they are attached to material sense gratification, which we are opposed to.

Most people are innocent and are simply being misled by demoniac propaganda.

Thank you for appreciating our humble attempt to awaken the world to Krishna consciousness.

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity.
