The Whole World is Sleeping

The whole world sleeping in the lap of the witch named Maya. Thus, they are suffering from the hellish nightmare of bodily misidentification. We, the followers of Lord Krishna, have been given the duty to wake them and bring them to their constitutional position of Krishna conscious so they can all can be happy. So let us take our duty very seriously and bring them out of their hellish nightmare.

Actually, I have one question, I am practicing bhakti. I am chanting Hare Krishna maha mantra. I don’t eat onion garlic and also following brahmacharya. Still I am not happy. I don’t feel joy inside. What's the reason? Please guide me.

My Dear Dhruv,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Near the surface the ocean there is still the turbulence of the waves. But the deeper you dive into the ocean the turbulence becomes less and less until you finally get deep enough where is zero turbulence.

So you should steadily keep chanting at least 16 rounds of japa mala daily while strictly avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. By this way you will finally get deep enough where all forms of suffering become zero and you are fully absorbed in a celebration of transcendental bliss 24 hours daily in all times, places, and circumstances. In other words the solution is to keep diving deeper and deeper into the ocean of bhakti until all misery becomes zero.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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 ...
