Remembering My Most Beloved Srila Prabhupada

Image
The dearmost person in my life is my beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. It is he who, with the help of his agents such as His Holiness Vishnujana Swami, so mercifully rescued me from the most dangerous ocean of birth, death, old age, and disease. I have many super ecstatic memories of associating with Srila Prabhupada in various ways. The value of every moment in his association is inestimable, indeed worth more than of the wealth of this entire material world magnified many quadrillions of times. One such memory is given below in today's Video for the Day.

Torture or Reward Ourselves

Image
Our actual position is that we are eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. So why should we torture ourselves by misidentification with our temporary material bodies? Such misidentification unfortunately chokes off our ability to engage in actual loving relationships, and thus without tasting true love we will not be able to find genuine satisfaction. Thus we will remain in a frustrated state not being able to taste real happiness. Because to taste constant happiness is our real constitutional nature when such real happiness is not tasted we will imagine ourselves to be happy even when factually we are in the most miserable, abominable situations. This is called illusory happiness and it brings us no satisfaction at all. The solution for this madness is to come to Krishna consciousness by perfectly dovetailing all of our thoughts, words, and deeds with the pleasure of the Supreme Person. In such a perfect stage of consciousness we will taste unlimited, ever-increasing bliss at ...

Our World Desperately Needs a Proper Leader

Image
Our modern day society is in great difficulty because it is completely devoid of proper leadership. In fact, it is like a chicken with its head cut off. And there is not much more to be said in this connection. Because of this lack of leadership our global society will regress more and more into a total breakdown of the social order. Eventually we will become a global society of cannibals. The only person who is qualified to lead us out of this chaos is that person who has brought his six urges completely under his control. Srila Prabhupada has described that the whole world will follow such a person. In this connection in the Nectar of Instruction we find the following verse by Srila Rupa Goswami: vāco vegaṁ manasaḥ krodha-vegaṁ jihvā-vegam udaropastha-vegam etān vegān yo viṣaheta dhīraḥ sarvām apīmāṁ pṛthivīṁ sa śiṣyāt "A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind's demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualif...

The Solution for All Problems

Image
When we put God back in the center where He belongs, automatically all of our problems are solved. How could it be this easy? The reason it is so easy is that we are all by our very natures the eternal servants of God. Just as a fish on the land is in great trouble, but when he is back in the water all of his problems are solved, in a similar way as soon we come back to our original constitutional natures as the eternal servants of God all of our problems are solved. The mission of the Krishna Consciousness Movement is to enlighten the entire world in this most sublime science because when they become thus enlightened global peace and peace and prosperity will be the automatic worldwide result.

When We Are Completely in Maya

Image
When we are completely in maya or illusion that is the time when we need to call out to Krishna for help. We should not be so proud and puffed up to think that we don't need any help. We should always feel fully dependent on Krishna's loving mercy. Krishna is always ready, willing, and able to save us from our bewilderment provided we are seeking His help. We simply have to beg Him to save us, and He will surely come to our rescue. So there is no excuse for our remaining in the clutches of maya. We simply must have the desire for liberation and intelligently act in accordance with this desire. This will surely save us. Don't Remain Bewildered Video for the Day Why Remain a Prisoner?
