A special something for those souls who are constantly serving this glorious movement. Drawing portraits is not something I’m the best with but this was an attempt for someone who has really guided me in my own Krishna consciousness many times over the years.

“Those who are preaching this Krishna consciousness movement are very, very dear to Krishna. If you serve such devotees, your spiritual advancement is guaranteed.”
— Srila Prabhupada

Thank you @bhakti.community for the opportunity 🧡

Why Can’t We Surrender Now?

We lack the ability to call out to Krishna helplessly like Gajendra for at least three reasons.

First, we are not aware that we are in the jaws of the crocodile called maya – the material energy or our own wicked mind. A snake swallows a frog slowly, but surely. Even as the snake is gulping down the frog, the frog stretches out its tongue to catch a flying insect. Similarly, even as we are reduced to insignificance by all-powerful time, we stay oblivious of our situation, busily catching insects daily in the form of our petty materialistic goals.

Second, even if we realize we are suffering in this world, we imagine that the crocodile of Maya will tire and eventually let us go. “She can’t keep biting me forever,” we delude ourselves. “She has to let go sometime.”

Sorry. She never lets go. She is never tired. The crocodile of Maya never sleeps.

We foolishly hope that things will get better in this world. A German saying that translates as “Hope dies last” has been around for a long time. Yet despite our undying hope, in the material world things never really improve. The crocodile of Maya will never relax. The only way to get relief is to surrender to Krishna completely.

A third reason why we don’t surrender is that we falsely assure ourselves that we have in fact surrendered to God because we practice many rituals. But although we may learn scriptural verses or visit holy places, none of this can match the quality of the surrender of Gajendra, who cried out to Krishna for help. Until we take complete shelter of God, the crocodile will continue to bite us.

The only hope for the living entity suffering in the material world of repeated birth and death is to take complete shelter of Krishna. Krishna in the form of His holy names can give us complete relief from suffering.

When Krishna reciprocates with our sincere effort in chanting, we’ll see the crocodile of Maya as a blessing. Until then, we’ll see and experience only suffering in this world.

सटावधूता जलदा: परापतन्
ग्रहाश्च तद् द‍ृष्टिविमुष्टरोचिष: ।
अम्भोधय: श्वासहता विचुक्षुभु-
र्निर्ह्रादभीता दिगिभा विचुक्रुशु: ॥ ३२ ॥

saṭāvadhūtā jaladāḥ parāpatan
grahāś ca tad-dṛṣṭi-vimuṣṭa-rociṣaḥ
ambhodhayaḥ śvāsa-hatā vicukṣubhur

The hair on Nṛsiṁhadeva’s head shook the clouds and scattered them here and there, His glaring eyes stole the effulgence of the luminaries in the sky, and His breathing agitated the seas and oceans. Because of His roaring, all the elephants in the world began to cry in fear.

“We have got Balarāma, the most powerful being, so we have no fear. Balarāma. Nāyam ātmā bala-hīnena labhyaḥ. Bala-hīnena labhyaḥ.(?) "One who is not supported by Balarāma, he cannot understand, cannot come to the spiritual platform." Na medhayā na bahunā śrutena.(?) By intelligence one cannot. He must be supported by Balarāma, big brother of Kṛṣṇa.

Real strength will remain from Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma's strength. Balarāma. Balarāma means strength. Nāyam ātmā bala hīna na labhyaḥ.(?) If you are not supported by Balarāma, then it is not possible.”
