Bringing Eternal Life to Šakiai
Uploaded from Kaunas, Lithuania |
|
|
Forty
miles (65 km) west of Kaunas, Lithuania is Šakiai. This
small town of 6 to 7 thousand people was completely
destroyed by the Germans in World War II, but it is now
giving birth to the sublime life-giving process of Krishna
consciousness. On 19 October 2011 we travelled there from
Kaunas for an evening lecture program held in the health
food store of a local devotee couple. In such a
small town I did not expect much of a turn out. But I
was pleasantly to see the store was completely filled up
with people who were very happy to hear about the
sublime process of awakening their dormant Krishna
consciousness. Especially sweet was one small boy
named Dainius (pictured below), who asked many
questions. I also asked him a question. "Would you like
to become a great saint?" His unhesitating answer
was, "Yes."

Question: How Krishna Makes His Devotees Expert? |
|
Dear Guru Maharaja:
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
One of the devotee's 26 qualities is being expert. Is it
that Krishna gives devotees the intelligence to handle
material tasks, work or business? I have personal
experience that Krishna protected me several times from
being cheated and gave me the best guidance for doing a
material task well. What ordinary people call 'luck' or
'good fortune', when understood properly, are not
actually coincidental, but arranged by the Lord. Is it
correct? A few coincidences may lead one to success or
failure. But is it not an accident, something already
arranged instead due to one's karma or Krishna's will?
Please kindly show me some light on this matter, thank
you.
Your humble servant,
Jeffrey

Answer: Expertise is Krishna's
Loving Reciprocation |
|
The pure
devotee engages everything material and spiritual in the
service of the Lord. Krishna is very, very pleased by
his sincere devotion and thus gives him unlimited
expertise how to do everything first class. Whether one
is a kirtan leader in the temple, a businessman trying
to make a lot of money to support the Krishna
consciousness movement, a mother trying to raise a
Krishna conscious child, or whatever one may be, if he
or she will sincerely serve Krishna to the best of their
ability over the course of time, they will naturally
become super expert in their service.
It is a fact that everything is ultimately going on
under the supreme direction of Lord Sri Krishna. Nothing
is happening by chance or by luck. Everything is
happening under Krishna's direction, either indirectly
through the laws of karma or directly by the loving hand
of Lord Sri Krishna.
