We've Got to Revolutionize this Place

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur used to say that this material world is not a fit place of residence for a gentleman. That the world is becoming increasingly populated with rogues and rascals is becoming more and more blatantly obvious even to the most casual observer.

This is why we really do not see any other option except for dedicating our entire life's energy up until our last dying breath to the revolutionization of this place. If the people can somehow or other become Krishna conscious, all the problems of the world will be solved.

But this work cannot be done alone. We very, very much need your help. Kindly join with us. Fully dedicate your life now for perfecting your consciousness and for the spiritual revolutionization of the entire planet earth.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: When Will I Become Free from Difficulties?...

I so much would like to have a friend. This never-fulfilled desire always makes me lament. I am so lonely. If I could only have few friends, or even one, to whom I could reveal my heart and feel at home and also advance in Krishna consciousness. But every relationship I have had before just made me feel dirty.

I need to learn more how I can apply Krishna conscious knowledge. I read so much, but I do not know what to do with my life to make it somehow useful and satisfying. What can I do? What will bring change?

I am always waiting that some wonder will come and change my life, and I will become happy and never face any more difficulty, but it never comes. What is wrong with me, why in spite of so much struggle I do not see any hope that my difficulties will ever end?

Answer: When You Flip On the Switch Within Your Heart...

If you want to receive friendship, you must give friendship. You need to place yourself on the giving end. You must give of yourself before you are worthy to receive.

You will only suffer, if you are not Krishna conscious. If you are Krishna conscious, you will not suffer in any condition. You should accept whatever situation Krishna arranges for you and try to be fully surrendered in that situation.

Do not think of trying to change your situation. Simply you must change your consciousness. You keep wanting to change your external circumstances, instead of your internal circumstances. Simply focus on the within, and the without will take care of itself automatically.

The wonder you are awaiting is at your fingertips right now. You simply have to flip on the switch of Krishna consciousness within your heart. Simply you must affirm, "My Dear Lord Krishna, from this moment on I belong to You and nobody else. Please bless me that I can henceforward be fully absorbed in Your pure devotional service with my every thought, word, and deed for all of eternity."

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

Image
In his purport to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 24 Srila Prabhupada wonderfully teaches us the power of determinations by telling us the story of the little sparrow who conquered the ocean: "As for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the gigantic bird carrier of Lord Visnu, heard it. He became compassionate toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked t

Heart Melting Reunion with Amarendra and Gayatri

Image
On Friday 26 June 2015 I was blessed with the greatest good fortune of meeting with two of the dearest devotees of my entire life, His Grace Amarendra Prabhu and his good wife, Srimati Gayatri devi dasi. I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee. When I was young brahmacari monk in 1973 I joined with the two of them in Gainesville, Florida. We were a three person preaching center, and they were just like a mother and father to me. I had so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences in their association that I can hardly begin to describe them here. But at least may it suffice for me to say for now that Gayatri taught me what it means to be a soft-hearted devotee of the Lord and she gave me my first cooking lesson, teaching me how to make cauliflower pakoras, and Amarendra taught me the art of how to preach strongly, intelligently, and coolly to defeat opposing arguments. Recently Gayatri almost died. But

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
