Nietzche Said that God is Dead

20 December 2024

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German classical scholar, philosopher, and culture critic, who ended up being one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. He is very famous for his declaration that God is dead.

But Krishna says in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 10, Verse 34:

mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham--I am all-devouring death.

So who won?

P.S. In 1889, at age 44, he collapsed and then suffered a complete loss of his mental faculties with paralysis. It would have been wonderful if we could have enlightened him with Krishna consciousness, the perfection of science and philosophy.

Questions and Answers

Please accept my humble obeisance to you, Srila Gurudeva,

May I enquire? When I am hungry I know that my purpose is to feed myself. But when I am fed after that I don't know what is the purpose of my life.

Is my purpose to spread love?

What will happen if we learn how to love God?

Yours obediently
Shivani

My Dear Shivani,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your purpose is to awaken the dormant love for God that is sleeping within your heart. You have not yet fed this to yourself. When your dormant love for God becomes awakened your purpose will be to deliver the whole world from Godlessness.

In this regard Prahlada Maharaja prayed as follows in Srimad Bhagavatam, Fifth Canto, Chapter 18, Text Nine:

svasty astu viśvasya khalaḥ prasīdatāṁ
dhyāyantu bhūtāni śivaṁ mitho dhiyā
manaś ca bhadraṁ bhajatād adhokṣaje
āveśyatāṁ no matir apy ahaitukī

"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other's welfare. Therefore let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him."

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 ...
