You've Got Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain

13 June 2025

You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain by taking to the sublime pathway of Krishna consciousness.

Srila Prabhupada said that we advise people to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. "Since you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, why not chant?"

The only thing we lose is our material misereies and we gain an eternal life, full of knowledge, and full of bliss.

In colloquial language chanting Hare Krishna is a "no-brainer." It's an easy, obvious choice—because it delivers profound benefits with no downside, requires no cost, and is accessible to everyone, anytime, anywhere.

So instead of drowning in the ocean of repeated birth and death by embracing a life of material sense gratification we should accept the liberating process of Krishna consciousness and pray that the whole world can now do the same.

Hare Krishna,
When I wake up I feel extreme suffering because of the psychiatric drugs I am being injected. It kills all the faith in the mahamantra.

My Dear Saulius,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Increase your chanting and ask them to reduce the dosage of your psychiatric drugs. Chanting Hare Krishna is topmost of all psychiatric drugs. You can always negotiate with your doctors explaining to them that you are now finding increased mental stability by spending some time meditating every day.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in a cheerful mood.

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 ...

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.
