Don't Let Maya Ruin Your Spiritual Life

We were all originally situated with Lord Sri Krishna in our original pure loving relationships with Him in His transcendental pastimes in the spiritual world. But when we became envious of His position as the Supreme Person He let us come here to this material world to satisfy our desire to think ourselves to be the Supreme. This is why there is so much conflict here. Everyone is trying to take the supreme position. Even the dog thinks that he is the lord over all that he surveys. But this an artificial position for us, like a fish who is out the water. We can never be happy in this way. To find true satisfaction we must get back now to our original constitutional natures of being the loving servants of Krishna. The Hare Krishna movement has been started for this purpose, to train us how to get back to our original nature of loving service to Lord Sri Krishna. We must now embrace this complete, total transformation of our consciousness. Sankarshan Das Adhikari P.S.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Question from Quora.com

Chanting always worked for me. What are some tips to get the most out of chanting?

Answer: The Benefits of Pure Chanting

If we become fixed in avoiding these ten offenses against chanting the holy names of God, by our chanting we will become qualified to see God face-to-face,, eye-to-eye and by our pure chanting we will make a spiritual revolution all over the world. The ten offenses against the holy name are as follows: (1) to blaspheme a devotee of the Lord, (2) to consider the Lord and the demigods to be on the same level or to think that there are many gods, (3) to neglect the orders of the spiritual master, (4) to minimize the authority of scriptures (Vedas), (5) to interpret the holy name of God, (6) to commit sins on the strength of chanting, (7) to instruct the glories of the Lord's name to the unfaithful, (8) to compare the chanting of the holy name with material piety, (9) to be inattentive while chanting the holy name, and (10) to be attached to material things in spite of chanting the holy name.

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
