Krishna's Smile is the Ultimate Sweetness

28 February 2025

The great Vaisnava acharya, Bilvamangala Thakur, lived for 700 years in Vrindavan. He became so spiritually perfect that he entered into Krishna's pastimes in the spiritual world even while he maintained his material body in this material world. As a young man who was addicted to illicit sex he blinded himself so that he would no longer be attracted to women and went to Vrindavan. In his blindness he was personally served by Lord Krishna who would bring him milk. His book, Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta, was very much appreciated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Here is verse 92 from that extraordinary book:

madhuraṁ madhuraṁ vapur asya vibhor
madhuraṁ madhuraṁ vadanaṁ madhuram
madhu-gandhi mṛdu-smitam etad aho
madhuraṁ madhuraṁ madhuraṁ madhuram

"The transcendental body of Kṛṣṇa is very sweet, and His face is sweeter still. But His soft, honey-scented smile is the ultimate sweetness thrill."

Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta (92).

Transcendental Correspondence

Respected Soul,
Hare Krishna
Please accept my respectful obeisance.
I will tell you about myself later on when I will find myself worthy as per your blessings on me. I studied the Introduction of Bhagwat Gita and i have following queries -
1. What is Vedic Knowledge?
2. What is upanisads?
3. There is some lines regarding succession of Bhagwat Gita - the Bhagavad-gītā, was first spoken to the sun-god, and the sun-god explained it to Manu, and Manu explained it to Ikṣvāku, and in that way, by disciplic succession, one speaker after another, this yoga system has been coming down. My question is - It had not been spoken first to Arjuna by Lord Krishna? If yes then who spoken it to Sun-God first?
4. There are three classes of transcendentalists, namely the jñānī, the yogī and the bhakta, or the impersonalist, the meditator and the devotee. - What about Impersonalist & Meditator ? Please define.
5.One may be a devotee as a conjugal lover. Who is Conjugal Lover ?
I just put my queries, you are the great personalities of Spirituality. I don't expect reply but I have a glimpse of hope that i am before write person!

Thank You
I am Soul and bodily name is Adarsh.

From: Mumbai, India

My Dear Adarsh,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Vedic knowledge is the knowledge by Lord Sri Krishna and His pure devotees in books like the Bhagavad-gita and the four Vedas: Sāma, Ṛg, Atharva and Yajur. The four Vedas are further explained by the Purāṇas, of which there are eighteen. These are still further explained by the Upaniṣads, of which there are 108.

Lord Kṛṣṇa first spoke Bhagavad-gītā to the sun-god
some hundreds of millions of years ago.

The impersonalists are those who think that God has no form and no personality. The yogīs (meditators) are those who take to the process of aṣṭāṅga-yoga for developing mystic powers.

Conjugal love means like the love between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.

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

Sankarshan Das Adhikari


My Spiritual Journey in a Nutshell


As an American youth I was taught to believe in the. "American dream": Study hard, get a good education and a good job to get a good wife some good kids in a good house to enjoy a good life. But when I got to college I realized that this was not enough. I wanted to know what is the meaning of life, but no one could tell me. So I took to the path of self-realization and was blessed in 1968 with the Hare Krishna mantra and the worship of Radha and Krishna. (I did not know about ISKCON.) This inspired me to drop out of college and renounce the world to become a holy beggar in India. But on the way to India I realized that to renounce everything I had to ultimately renounce renunciation itself and accept something transcendental Thus I embraced the mission of delivering the world from chaos. For this purpose I adopted the life a singer/songwriter who in 1969 became recognized and very much appreciated. In 1971, seeking spiritual perfection, I followed the example of Lord Jesus Christ and prayed to God how I could become His perfect servant. Then God revealed to me path of pure Krishna bhakti as taught by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. On the most auspicious day of 12 August 1971 he accepted me as his disciple. Now on his order and under his most expert guidance I have fully devoted my life for awakening pure love of God within my heart and for making the entire world Krishna conscious.

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?
