Krishna with a Calf

Know Krishna, Know Everything
No Krishna, Know Nothing

Thought for Day--15 January 2026

In the Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 1.3 we are blessed with this sublime wisdom:

yasmin vijñāte sarvam idaṁ vijñātaṁ bhavati

"If one knows the original cause, the subordinate causes are automatically known."

Stated simply this means that if you know Krishna you know everything. The opposite of this is that if you don't know Krishna, even though you may be very proud of your material knowledge, you don't know anything, you know nothing.

One may argue that knowing everything means that he must be able to know how many grains of sand are on the beach. This is not what is meant. He knows everything in the sense that he knows the pure essence of everything. He knows that the sand is the emanated energy of Krishna. In this way he perfectly understands the utility of the sand to engage it in Krishna's service and does not walk on the beach in a bathing suit hoping to attract a girl. In this way he is able spiritualize the sand and the entire material existence. This is perfect knowledge of everything.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

From some days since I mistakenly mishandled Srila Prabhupada picture while decorating altar, my mind randomly poping up bad thoughts about Srila Prabhupada and senior vaisnava which make no sense, I tried to stop thinking about them but random poping is disturbing me in service. I am very sad. Please help me.
I will be extremely grateful to you

My Dear A. Dāsa,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Since the mind always wants to be engaged, you don’t get rid of bad thoughts by negating them. You get rid of bad thoughts by replacing them with good thoughts. There are so many wonderful pastimes of Śrīla Prabhupāda that you can read about and meditate on. I always fondly remember how he singled me out from a large group of devotees to make sure that I got a flower from him, and how he instructed me to always continue enthusiastically in pushing forward the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, promising me that by doing so I would receive the blessings of Kṛṣṇa.

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 ...

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Image
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. Since today most of the youth are indulged in mansturbation and they think it to be good in comparison to doing sex with some female for ...
