Back to Godhead Magazine Has Published How I Came to Krishna Consciousness

In the current November/December 2021 issue of Back to Godhead Magazine is published the detailed story of how I came to Krishna consciousness. I was a frustrated college student who wanted to know the meaning of my existence, who then dropped out of college in 1968 and become a popular hippy singer/songwriter, and who then seriously sought out how I could fully surrender to God. When the devotees showed me how I then surrendered and became a duly initiated disciple of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada on 12 August 1971.

Question: Will You Accept Me as Your Disciple?

Since for material advancements in games like tennis, cricket, soccer etc. one has to have a coach, then why not for spiritual advancement it should be compulsory? If you will accept me, I will be fortunate. I am currently practicing chanting 16 rounds of japa daily and observing mangala arati, narasingha artati, and tulasi arati daily in my home and also fasting on fasting,
Hare Krishna,
My all obeisance to your lotus feet,
Subodh Kumar

Answer: Yes, If You Agree to Obey Me.

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Subodh,

Please accept my blessings.
All glorries to Srila Prabhupada.

If you are serious to undeviatingly follow my instructions for the rest of your life, you are welcome to become my duly initiated disciple for achieving the perfection of your existence and going back to Home, back to Godhead upon leaving your present body.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.

Your ever well-wisher,

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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
