There's Nothing Like Bathing in the River Yamuna

On 31 October 2022 by Guru Mataji's wonderful arrangement our party went to the river Yamuna and took a boat to the other side where there was no buildings to have our Srimad Bhagavatam class under a solitary tree. I sang the Jaya Radha Madhava prayers especially repeating the words "jāmuna-tīra-vana-cārī" glorifying Lord Sri Krishna Who wanders on the banks of the river Yamuna. It was indeed mystical because Krishna is still wandering there now for those who have the eyes to see Him. After the class many of us including my lowly self got the unlimited blessing of bathing in the sacred waters of the Yamuna. This was truly one of those wonderful experiences of my entire life to totally dip into the sacred waters of the river Yamuna. The feeling was indescribably nectarean. It was being directly in contact with Krishna Who is fully present in that most sacred river Yamuna water.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Break Down All Barriers?

Hare Krishna, Srila Gurudeva, 

Please accept my obeisances.
All glories to your lotus feet.
All glories to Srimati Gurumataji.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

One morning in Austin during Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam class, you pointed directly at me and instructed me, “Your duty is the break down the barriers that are blocking this movement from delivering the world.”

Gurudeva, my first question is what are the barriers that are blocking this movement from delivering the world, secondly what are the barriers blocking me from breaking down the barriers that are blocking this movement from delivering the world?

Your eternal servant,

Bhakta Avatar Das 

Answer: Pray for Pure Bhakti

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama

My Dear Bhakta Avatar,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Here is the answer to both your questions:

The barriers are the impurities in our own hearts. Therefore we must beg Lord Sri Krishna to free us from all of our lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and envy so we can now become His
fully empowered agents for making the whole world Krishna conscious.

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

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.
