Memories of a Most Memorable Vyas Puja Day

In accordance with the injunctions of the Vedic scriptures on the tenth day of the sacred month of Kartik, which this year was on 20 October, my disciples celebrated the day that I appeared in this world in my present body. This day is known as Vyasa Puja, worship of the original spiritual master, Srila Vyasadeva, because by worshipping our spiritual master, who is the representative of Srila Vyasadeva, we are also worshipping Srila Vyasadeva. A video was made and can be seen by clicking on the following link:

It was also a most memorable day because I initiated eleven new disciples: Sarvajña Das, Sāndīpani Muni Das, Revatīnandana Das,
Halāyudha Das, Jagadbandhu Das, Vaṁśīdhārī Das, Sarvamaṅgala Devī Dāsi, Kirtan Devi Dasi, Rati-mañjarī Devi Dasi, Vaisnavapriya devi dasi, and Ākūti Devi Dasi

I also gave brahminical initiation to four disciples: Visnurata Das, Sundar Gopal Das, Prema Sarovara Devi Dasi, and Anapayini Devi Dasi

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Guru Suffers His Disciples Karma?

I have a doubt. You had once said that Guru is responsible for his disciple's sins, that if the disciple does any sinful actions then Guru has to face the consequences. Why this is like that?

Individually any person has to face his own karma. Why guru should be punished for his disciple's bad deeds?

Please clarify

Radha Ramana

Answer: Guru Sometimes Suffers Disciples' Karma

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama

My Dear Radha Ramana,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Srila Prabhupada has very nicely answered your question as follows in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Ninth Canto, Chapter 9, Text 5:

"Sometimes the spiritual master, after accepting a disciple, must take charge of that disciple's past sinful activities and, being overloaded, must sometimes suffer -- if not fully, then partially -- for the sinful acts of the disciple. Every disciple, therefore, must be very careful not to commit sinful activities after initiation. The poor spiritual master is kind and merciful enough to accept a disciple and partially suffer for that disciple's sinful activities, but Krsna, being merciful to His servant, neutralizes the reactions of sinful deeds for the servant who engages in preaching His glories."

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

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.
