My Life is Full of the Sweetest Memories

After 53 years of serving my beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, my life is full of the sweetest memories, memories that are so wonderful that all material memories of material sense enjoyment can be thrown away as useless garbage.

So, my best advice to you my dear devotees is that you should trash all of your mental trash and turn yourself on to most sublime world of Krishna consciousness. Flip on your mental switch and take off for Goloka Vrindavan.

Questions and Answers

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudevji,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada ji.

Gurudevji it is said that we as individuals have our own free will as well and God doesn't interfere with that. But what to do if I don't want that free will of mine? I completely want to act and do as per the wish of God like I don't want my own independent will decisions. What to do then?

Your insignificant servant,

Jahanvi

Answer

From: Sri Vrindavan Dham, India

My Dear Jahanvi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You’ve just said "I want to act as per God’s wishes” and “I don’t want to act independently.” This is the proper utilization of your free will. With your free will you are choosing to surrender to Krishna. It’s not that you are a mindless robot being forced to do this and do that.

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 ...

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
