Krishna Does Not Tolerate Offenses Against His Devotees

4 January 2025

Srila Prabhupada writes as follows in his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter One, Texts 32-35:

"The devotee of the Lord does not retaliate against the wrongdoer, but the Lord does not tolerate any mischief done to the devotee by the miscreants. The Lord can excuse a person on His own account, but He excuses no one who has done harm to His devotees."

Krishna's devotee is very meek, humble, and tolerant. He forgives all offenses which are committed against him thinking that he deserves even more abuse. But Krishna is not so forgiving. He punishes those who are offensive to His devotees.

A notable example is this connection is that when Jagai and Madhai were so offensive to Lord Nityananda that one of them struck Him on the forehead with the piece of an earthen pot causing blood to flow, Lord Caitanya came there in angry mood to kill these miscreants. But did not do so because Lord Nityananda begged Him to forgive them.

Why do I commit so many mistakes?

Answer

Since we are conditioned souls we are subject to four kinds of defects: imperfect senses, tendency be illusioned, making mistakes, and cheating. Our senses imperfect
Thus we have the tendency to be illusioned
This causes us to make so many mistakes
But in spite of this we cheat because we think, speak and act as if we are perfect.

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 ...

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
