Heart-Melting Memories of Lithuania
uploaded from Dallas, Texas USA

Our recent visit to Lithuania was the sweetest we have ever experienced. We gave our love to the Lithuanian devotees by trying to do everything we could to help them enter into the mood of pure devotional service. And the joyful loving way in which they reciprocated with us was absolutely phenomenal. We were often awestruck by their unbounded enthusiasm for kirtan and devotional service. I lectured and led kirtan in five different cities, and everywhere we went the people opened their hearts to us and received us in such a way that our hearts were melted.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Very Attached to Intoxication & Illicit Sex


Dear Srila Gurudeva,

I am a very fallen soul. I do not follow any religious principles, and I am very attached to material sense gratification --especially intoxication and illicit sex. You are the only representative Krishna that I can communicate with directly. I cannot imagine myself having the strength to strictly follow the regulative principles of freedom and chant a bare minimum of sixteen rounds daily, but hopefully if you give just an infinitesimal drop of your mercy, I will at least be able to live by the minimum guidelines of a devotee. It is the only dream I have in this life to make you happy and serve you in any way you see fit.

Sincerely

Your student
 


Answer: Renunciation's a Snap with Higher Taste


You'd be surprised what can happen to your consciousness and thus your lifestyle, once you a get a even a slight taste for Krishna's holy names. In the sixties and early seventies thousands and thousands of hippies who were habituated to illicit sex and intoxication discovered that chanting Hare Krishna gave them a pleasure millions and millions of times better than their so-called material pleasures. Thus by becoming Krishna conscious they easily walked away from their lives of misery and entered joyfully into the wonderful world of unlimited bliss.
