Do You Feel Like a Stranger in a Strange Land?

If you feel like a stranger in a strange land, you have been blessed with a higher understanding of who you are and where you have come from. Your path of spiritual awakening has begun.

The fact is that for a person who is eternal, full of bliss, and full knowledge, which is us, this material world where everyone is temporary, full of ignorance, and full of misery is indeed a very, very strange place. We are just a like a fish of water who can't even breathe when he is washed up on the land.

However, the beauty of the Krishna Consciousness Movement is that if you embrace the world deliverance mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as your very life and soul you will feel quite at home and happy even in this world of birth and death because the material energy will not be able to touch you.

Questions and Answers

How many prayers a day are there in Hinduism?

Shriram Ramesh

Answer

Hindu is a word from Muslims. Thus the followers of India’s original Vedic culture do not like the word “Hindu.” There are no set rules for how many prayers a day. But the great saint Hari Das Thakur, who is the namacarya, the acarya for chanting the holy names of God, chanted the Hare Krishna mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare) continuously 24 hours a day. Modern day members of the Krishna consciousness movement chant the Hare Krishna mantra at least 16x108 times every day on their japa mala beads. Such chanting brings one into direct contact with Krishna (God). Thus it brings great joy and peace to the sincere chanter. Such chanting can transform the whole world into a paradise with no wars and no more crime.

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 ...
