Do You Know What is True Eloquence?

True eloquence is very concisely defined in the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 1, Text 106 as follows:

”mitaṁ ca sāraṁ ca vaco hi vāgmitā” iti

”Essential truth spoken concisely is true eloquence.”

The great sages such Srila Vyasadeva and Srila Prabhupada are very expert at being eloquent. We should try to follow in their footsteps to make our speech very attractive for the intelligent class of men.

Questions and Answers

What is the role of gurus in Hinduism?

Shriram

Answer

From: Shah Alam, Malaysia

My Dear Shriram,
Please accept my blessings.

Hinduism is a word from the Muslims. A more correct designation is “those who follow the Vedic scriptures”. According to the authoritative knowledge found in the Vedas it is by the mercy of the spiritual master, the guru, that we get the mercy of Krishna. Without the guru’s mercy we cannot make any spiritual advancement. The difficulty nowadays is that there are so many charlatans who are posing as spiritual masters. The bonafide spiritual master is he who purely represents the teachings of Lord Sri Krishna as found in the Bhagavad-gita and teaches you how to become a perfect follower of the Bhagavad-gita. Avoid the so-called gurus who claim to be God. Such charlatans have spoiled Indian culture.

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 ...
