Srila Prabhupada is Not Dead and Gone

Even though Srila Prabhupada physically departed from this world on 14 November 1977 he is not dead and gone. Especially when I attend his Guru Puja celebration here in Vrindavan I feel how is still present here with us and has not actually departed. Click here to experience Guru Puja in Vrindavan.

In a letter written to Cidananda Das on 25 November 1973 Srila Prabhupada explains how the spiritual master lives forever and his disciple lives with him:

"I should be returning to Los Angeles the last week of November and I should be more than happy to see you there. Please always try to remember me by my teachings and we shall always be together. Just like I have written in the first publications of Srimad-Bhagavatam, 'The spiritual master lives forever by his divine instruction and the disciple lives with him.', because I have always served my Guru Maharaja and followed his teachings I am now even never separated from him. Sometimes Maya may come and try to interfere, but we must not falter, we must always follow the chalked out path laid down by the great acharya's and in the end you will see."

Reply: See Krishna's Perfect Arrangement

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama

My Dear S.,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The difficulty is that your vision is not correct. You are not seeing how Lord Sri Krishna is arranging everything perfectly at every moment to bring you to the point of complete, total surrender at His lotus feet, which will completely liberate from all distress for all of eternity.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.

Your ever well-wisher,

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
