Special Mercy from Krishna While Departing Fiji

After departing from a week in Tavua, Fiji we were on the way to the Nadi airport to catch a flight to Melbourne, Australia on 20 November 2022. On the way we stopped at ISKCON's Krishna-Kaliya temple in Lautoka, Fiji to have a darshan of Krishna-Kaliya, Who was installed by Srila Prabhupada on 2 May 1976. This deity is historically significant because after Krishna subdued the Kaliya serpent in the Yamuna River in Vrindavan Kaliya came to Fiji. The locals even tell how a giant snake lives in a lake in the mountains of Fiji.

Even though we had no scheduled time we just happened to walk in the door precisely at 12 Noon on Sunday when a devotee was just beginning the Sunday Feast Lecture to a growing audience. When he saw me he immediately stopped the lecture and asked me to give the lecture. I accepted his offer and got the mercy from Krishna-Kaliya to give an hour long lecture on Bhagavad-gita, Chapter Nine, Text 11.

This was indeed special mercy, a sweet finishing touch to an auspicious visit to Fiji.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Material and Spiritual Love?

What is the difference between material and spiritual love?

Lee Abrahams

Answer: Self-Centered and God-Centered

My Dear Lee,

Please accept my blessings.

Material love is lust and is self-centered. Spiritual love is love of God and is God-centered. When you water the root of the tree you water the entire tree. Similarly when you give your love to God, Who is the root of the creation your pure selfless love goes automatically to all living beings. Material love leaves one feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. Spiritual love gives one a feeling of unlimited satisfaction and it goes on increasing and increasing for all of eternity. I teach the art of spiritual love here in my free e-course.

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
