My Disciple Jambavati Devi Dasi Just Left Her Body

My disciple, Jambavati devi dasi, is one of my very first disciles. She was initiated twenty years. She has been suffering in ill health for many years and has just left her body here in Austin, Texas USA on 17 February. It is most auspicious that Guru Mataji and Abhay Charan Das were there doing a kirtan for her as she left her body. Even though she was not conscious when she left her body, if she as spirit-soul influenced by the kirtan took shelter of Krishna, she has entered into to Spiritual Sky.

Remember Krishna at the Time of Death


Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Understand What Happens at Death?

Hare Krishna, dear Gurudeva!

Please accept my humble obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
All glories to You and Srimati Guru Mataji!

Thank you for your blessings, dear Gurudeva! I have wanted to write to you for many days, but somehow I have always been delayed as I am studying two courses, working for some hours every now and then and doing a lot of service every day. Recently I have again been put into a situation where I have to face the fact that this material body is limited and always under the influence of time. One of my close relatives has been diagnosed with a terminal type of cancer and my mother is also preparing everything ready for her departure. Everything has officially been arranged already. Even her cremation.

Please, dear Gurudeva, I would like to be Krishna conscious on these important times, and I am not so much affected by the idea of death as such. I think that because the soul leaves the body and carries all the impressions with it, then nothing basically changes. So is it so that the consciousness remains the same, either covered by a lot of contamination or pure if it is an advanced devotee who leaves the body? And according to the level of purity or contamination the new body is shaped. If the consciousness and the individuality remain the same, then what changes? Except that the body is left behind.

Thank you, dear Gurudeva!

Sincerely,

Your humble servant,
Ambika Devi Dasi

Answer: Your Next Body According to Your Mentality

From: Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Ambika

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Yes, whatever mentality you have at the time of death will determine what kind of body you receive in your next lifetime.

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
