You Conquer Over Death

3 February 2025

You have been suffering in the cycle of repeated birth, death, old age, and disease since time immemorial. But there is no reason for you to continue suffering in this way. In this regard our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna states as follows in Bhagavad-gita 8.16:

ā-brahma-bhuvanāl lokāḥ
punar āvartino 'rjuna
mām upetya tu kaunteya
punar janma na vidyate

"From the highest planet in the material world down to the lowest, all are places of misery wherein repeated birth and death take place. But one who attains to My abode, O son of Kuntī, never takes birth again."

The method conquer over death by attaining His abode is to fully surrender unto Him according to the guidance of the bonafide spiritual master. It was my unlimited good fortune that His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada accepted me as his duly initiated disciple on 12 August 1971 in a letter wrote from London to Austin, Texas.

In this connection Srila Prabhupada has stated that one's deathlessness begins from the day of one's initiation. But this applies only to those who follow their initiation vows. Others who disobey their spiritual master have sadly and foolishly thrown away their immortality.

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudev,
Please accept my humble obeisances. 
All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada.

Dear Gurudev, I heard from few of my relatives that they can see God through the idol God winks at them they tell me, but I used to think only pure Vaishnavas or pure devotees of the lord can see Him as He reveals himself only to them.

But here I see some.people who haven't even chanted, just do few artis and tell me God talks and they see God smiling through the idol, however I never felt that because I am not pure.

I used to think we have to sacrifice and fight with our material senses and only when we become pure God reveals himself to us but some people without much efforts are able to see God's movements in the idol.

Please help me understand. Please forgive me for any offences against your Lotus feet.

Your most fallen servant,
Jahanvi

From: Sri Vrindavan Dhama, India

My Dear Jahanvi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Krishna in His form of the deity can speak to His pure devotees but He does not speak to the non-devotees.

Prabhupada stated: "He does not talk with nonsense.
He talks, but not with the nonsense."

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 ...

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

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? Since you answered questions related to understanding the real need of sex in a human being's life, so I also request you to please enlighten us with the knowledge about semen conservation, it's importance, and the consequences of frequently releasing it thorough sex or masturbation.
