A Life of Incomparable Happiness

Image
There is no happiness like Krishna consciousness anywhere in the three worlds. There is truly no happiness that even comes close to comparing with it. Fabulous wealth, world wide fame, and power even up to the highest level of being Brahmaji, the demigod in charge of our universe, are totally dwarfed by the happiness of Krishna consciousness. So why waste time running after illusory happiness when you can constantly taste the ultimate happiness simply by awakening the natural love of Krishna that is already within your heart?

Making the Ultimate Journey Within

Image
In this world people are very eager to travel from this place to that place seeking pleasure. Travel is so popular that it generates billions of dollars of revenue every year. What people do not realize is that the ultimate journey is within, the soul's return to the association of his beloved Lord Sri Krishna. One does not have to travel anywhere externally to reconnect with Krishna. Simply one has to awaken the feelings of love of God within his heart. This love will then automatically carry him on the ultimate journey back to Krishna's eternal abode.

How to Constantly Associate with Krishna

Image
In a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture given in Los Angeles on 25 December 1973 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully revealed: If you become devotee of Krishna, then you can live with Krishna, even in this life. Even in this life. Because Krishna is omnipotent, if you are really devotee of Krishna, He will talk with you, He will dance with you, He will eat with you, everything. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena [Bs. 5.38]. Again this bhakti. By bhakti, prema, love. Premanjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena santah sadaiva [Bs. 5.38]. Santah, saintly persons. This word, Sanskrit word, santah, is also I think Latin. "Saint," santah. Santah means saintly persons. So santah, those who are saintly persons, those who have developed love of Krishna, they can see Krishna every moment. Santah sadaiva. Sadaiva means "every moment." They do not see anything except Krishna. That is saintly person. Rascals inquire, "Have you seen God?" "Not seen God, sir. He is seeing every mome...

Incompetent World Leaders

Image
Presently the entire world is suffering greatly under the misguidance of incompetent leaders. While good government means a government based on the God-centered conception of existence, today's present day governments are based on nationalism and economic development for ever-increasing sense gratification. Instead of promoting God, they are promoting godlessness. Any government which does not put God in the center needs to be reformed. Since these are the days of democracy the people in general need to educated to only vote those who are purely God conscious into office.

Better Tune In and Turn On Your Soul

Image
Why remain in a suffering condition when all you have to do is tune in and turn on your soul? I wrote a song to introduce this concept to the music listeners of the world: Turn On Your Soul Do you know who you really are? Do you know where you’re coming from? Do you know for sure where you’re goin’ Or what you will become? You’re eternal, full of knowledge and bliss So remember and celebrate this. You’re not of this world, dear friend. Better tune in and turn on your soul. Do you know what happens when you die? Do you know what’s beyond the sky? Do you think that body is you? It’s just something that you’re passing through. You’re eternal, full of knowledge and bliss So remember and celebrate this. You’re not of this world, dear friend. Better tune in and turn on your soul. We’re told that everything happens by chance. That the universe has no person in control. But I see that every machine has got an operator. So the universe also has one. This I know. Do you kno...

It's Time to Free the Slaves

Image
It's time to free the slaves. And who are those slaves? In case you do not know, I will inform you. Those slaves are us. At the present moment we, the members of the human civilization, are enslaved by our senses. Being compelled by lust, greed, and anger we are forced to succumb to the impulses of our senses, even if such sense indulgence is detrimental for our well-being. So instead of remaining the dogs of our uncontrolled desires we should take advantage of the special mercy of Lord Sri Krishna by fully surrendering ourselves at His lotus feet. This will free us slaves from all suffering for all of eternity. We will become eternally liberated. There is no alternative to this way for anybody who has even half a brain. The complete morons will foolishly remain enslaved forever until that day comes when they wake up from their madness and take advantage of Krishna's unparalleled mercy. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Escape Slavery Forever. Enter into Krishna's Amazing Pastime...

Persevere Through All Circumstances

Image
This material world is a dark, foggy place with filled up with unlimited oceans of lethargy and ignorance. Therefore sometimes it takes a lot of determination to get something done here for Krishna. When facing insurmountable obstacles we should always remember that there is no obstacle so great that Krishna cannot easily empower His devotee to overcome it. Therefore, with complete faith and trust in Krishna we should persevere in all circumstances to remain absorbed in Krishna consciousness and dedicated to blessing the entire world with Krishna consciousness. Sankarshan Das Adhikari Srila Prabhupada Enlightens His Disciples Answers by Citing the Vedic Version: Question: Is Material Nature Directed by Krishna? Please accept my humble obeisances.
