POWER OF CONSISTENTCY - POWER OF DAILY LITTLE


 
Yesterday, we completed our discussion on the second canto of Srimad-bhagavatam in our daily morning Facebook class. It's a really wonderful feeling to have been blessed with this opportunity to serve the devotees and read and share based on Srila Prabhupada's purports. Very grateful for this opportunity to serve and thankful to all the devotees who supported me in this service. Reading Prabhupada books is on one level but when you share and preach based on what you read, then the experience is all together different. Only with sharing does the process of reading gets complete. May all devotees experience the joy of reading and sharing Srila Prabhupada's books.

 
I have also realised time and again the power of consistency, the power of steadiness and the power of daily little.
As Srimad-bhagavatam itself encourages us - "nityam bhagavata sevaya".

Just by doing few slokas everyday, we completed the first canto and now the second canto. Every task seems big, as long we don't start working on it, bit by bit. Every journey seems long, as long as we don't start walking on it, step by step. A drop of water seems soft and powerless. But if that drop of water keeps falling on a rock, day in and day out, the drop of water can make a hole even in the hardest rock. That is the power of consistency, steadiness and daily little.

MY EXPERIENCE AT MAURITIUS

I had the opportunity to visit Mauritius for a few days along with a few devotees from Goa. I am sharing my experience of being in this small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean for those who haven't had the opportunity to be here. Mauritius is very much like India or more specific, very much like Goa but it is definitely more beautiful than Goa.  THE BLUE ISLAND One of the most striking feature of this place that really stands out is the colour of the ocean here. The crystal blue, transparent, aqua, turquoise waters of it's ocean has the power to mesmerize anyone. No wonder, why people from all over the world flock to this island for recreation. God's wonders are just amazing. How He creates so many different oceans with so many different colours and shades. Speaking of the wonder of God, another wonder of this island is that at different places in this small island, the temperature and the climate is different. It is called micro-climate. ...

ENROUTE TO THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

It is explained in the scriptures that on the route to the spiritual world, one will have to pass through the irresistibly attractive  heavenly planets. Only very rare and fixed up souls are able to get ahead of these tests and boldly march ahead to the spiritual world. Most decide to take a break and engage in their rendezvous at the highly-eulogized heavenly pleasure gardens. Thinking about making my journey through these heavenly realms without getting stranded in these heavenly realms is a scary thought. My only hope is, if I meet some devotee in those realms who helps me stay inspired and focused on the path to the spiritual world with an unwavering mind by reminding me as to how close I am to see the Supreme Lord face to face.     At every step in our journey to the spiritual world, we are fully dependent on the association of the devotees of the Lord. Without their ...

REQUEST TO & FROM A MOTHER

  Today on the occasion of Mother's Day, I went to meet the cow, our mother to wish her for Mother's Day and make a request to her. I requested her to shower her blessings and mercy on her children who are suffering so badly due to the deadly covid virus. The good news for all of us is that, she mercifully agreed to shower her heartfelt blessings, prayers, mercy on all her children. After all, that's the heart of a mother - always wanting and desiring best for her children. I was elated, my mission accomplished - now, the suffering of humanity will reduce. As I was leaving, the cow also had one personal request. She requested me with tears in her eyes to request her children not to abuse, exploit and slaughter her mercilessly. I could literally feel her pain and suffering as she made this request. This was the pain of a mother. Tears swelled up in my eyes. I didn't know what to reply her. I did tell her that I will pass on her request to her other children and I walked ...
