My dearest Prabhu (Kṛṣṇa working through you),

All glories to the causeless mercy of Vaiṣṇavas!!
Jaya Śrīla Prabhupāda!!

Even though I have never met His Divine Grace, the personification of mercy, he appeared in my chaos through you.

I don’t know you (from this life or from the consciousness I am in), but I have to admit that I have absolute confidence and faith in your words, even to my ego’s surprise (that’s the mercy I was looking for from my little understanding of mercy). I have never felt fear, but I am in the deepest realization while typing this message.

I am sorry for the late response, as I was fighting with my false ego—whether to stay in Canada or go back to the land where the Supreme Personality of Godhead appears—and I have decided to leave the Canadian comfort for the so-called Indian suffering (bliss in my madness).

I want to follow your instructions, should you feel I am eligible—not with the intention of going back anywhere, but out of blind faith and confidence in Prabhupāda, as he is the personification of Kṛṣṇa’s decision for fools and rascals like me.

May Kṛṣṇa and Prabhupāda guide you, in case I am eligible.

Daṇḍavat praṇām
Ever grateful for your mercy,
George.

My Dear George,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Please describe for me in detail to what extent you are chanting japa daily and to what extent you are avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling.

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

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das

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 ...
