Our Mission: To help everyone awaken their original Krishna consciousness, which is eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss. Such a global awakening will, in one stroke, solve all the problems of the world society bringing in a new era of unprecedented peace and prosperity for all. May that day, which the world so desperately needs, come very soon. We request you to participate in this mission by reviving your dormant Krishna consciousness and assisting us in spreading this science all over the world.

Dedicated with love to ISKCON Founder-Acharya: His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, our beloved spiritual master, and to you, our dear readers.


 

Today's Thought:

Heading Out with a Message
that Can Transform the Entire World
Uploaded from Bhaktivedanta Ashram--Austin, Texas USA

After a refreshing, invigorating three weeks hiatus here at Bhaktivedanta Ashram in Austin, Texas USA my wife, Vishnupriya devi dasi, and I are heading out today once again on an around-the-world itinerary for spreading the sublime transcendental self-realization science of Krishna to more and more souls all over the world. Although we are simply tiny, little messengers, the message we are delivering is so powerful that it can completely transform the entire human society within eighteen days, if the leaders of the world society would only listen. We are praying for that day when they will heed our message. May it come soon.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question:  How to Get Free from Karma?


Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

How does the concept of karma work in the material world? If I make some person happy or hurt somebody, do I have to wait more lifetimes for that soul to do the same thing back to me, or do I get my karmic reactions in this lifetime?

Are my present experiences burning off past karma, or are they creating new karma? For instance, if somebody wants to give me money, should I refuse it because it will generate new karma, or should I accept it understanding that it is finishing past karma?

By doing good things like spreading the Holy Name and making people around us spiritually aware are we killing our bad karma?  Or does the bad karma have to be neutralized by interacting with specific souls from previous lives? What are karmic ties, and how can I finish my karma from past lives?

Your unworthy servant

N.M.
 


Answer: With the Help of a Liberated Soul


Karma means that for every sinful action I perform I will be punished and that for my pious deeds I will be rewarded. These karmic reactions can come quickly or they can be delayed over many lifetimes.

Karma is so entangling that simultaneously as we finish old karma we are creating new karma. It's like quicksand. No matter how you move you go deeper and deeper into the quicksand. You can only be saved by a person who is outside of the quicksand. That person who can save us from the quicksand of karma is the bona fide spiritual master. The spiritual master saves us by teaching us the art of how to fully surrender to Lord Krishna. 

It is only through this surrender that we can gain permanent liberation from the clutches of karma. We will never gain permanent relief through interacting with those souls with whom we have karmic debts because on this level as we pay off old karmic debts we are simply creating new ones. Surrender to Krishna is the only option. Are you ready to surrender now?
