Won't You Come Along?

When I was young brahmacari back in 1972 I heard two brahmacaris sing a song one day in the brahmacari ashram at an ISKCON temple. It was so wonderful that I have remembered for half a century. The lyrics were written by Bali Mardan Dāsa Brahmacārī.

Click here to hear the song.

Here are the lyrics.

1. This life is a constant journey,
Prabhupāda’s the guiding star.
We can see the way before us.
Though the goal is very far.

Chorus:
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?
Won’t you come along?

2. With the real Bhagavad-gītā
We have started on the road.
Wondering why those mundane wranglers
Have to carry such a load.
(Chorus)

3. And now with Prabhupāda to guide us
We will traverse every curve
On the path to Kṛṣṇaloka,
Where Kṛṣṇa is always served.
(Chorus)

4. This life is a constant journey
Back to Kṛṣṇa, back to God.
We are traveling on that highway
That is lit by Prabhupāda.
(Chorus)

There is nothing more wonderful than Srila Prabhupada's offer to take us back to home, back to Godhead. Let's take full advantage of his offer by fully surrendering unto Krishna now under Srila Prabhupada's most expert guidance. Are you ready? Or do you want to keep suffering in the cycle of birth and death?

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?

Image
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.
