It's Time to Take Over the World for Krishna

The present slate of the world's leaders have very clearly demonstrated their total complete incompetence for relieving the citizens from the suffering conditions of material existence. Human life is meant for realizing the highest truth and thus becoming eternally liberated from all miseries. But these so-called leaders are not even liberated themselves. How, therefore, can we expect them to be able to liberate others?

Therefore the time has come now, more than ever before, to introduce Krishna conscious leadership in every town, village, city, and nation throughout the world so that people everywhere can become truly liberated and happy. Let all those who have taken leadership positions now become truly qualified by taking seriously to the self-realization path so that they will become delivered and they can guide those who are under their guidance how to also become liberated.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Why Bhagavad-gita is Translated?...

I do not understand why the Bhagavad-gita is translated into several languages rather than reviving, promoting and propagating Sanskrit, the very language of Bhagavad-gita. Is it possible to develop a typewriter with Sanskrit's Devanagari script? The phonetic qualities, the grammar of this unique language cannot be translated or converted in any other languages.

If one could grasp the Bhagavad-gita in its own language, the translations of the Gita would have been of no importance. It is better to be late than never, as goes the saying. One must try to learn the language of Bhagavad-gita to study the art of living. Can ISKCON do something in this regard?

Answer: Guru Transmits Full Potency of Gita in Any Language...

It's nice that you are so much appreciating the most beautiful and perfectly constructed Sanskrit, the mother of all languages. Sanskrit script is called "devanagari", which literally means "in the cities of the demigods", because Sanskrit is the language that is spoken by the demigods in the upper planets. Not only that, it is also the language spoken in the spiritual world and is therefore an eternal language which never changes.

However, when the pure devotee spiritual master presents Bhagavad-gita as it is in any language, the full potency of the Bhagavad-gita comes through. Just as it does not require any particular language to recognize thunder, there is no particular language required for understanding the teachings of Krishna, provides one hears submissively from the bona fide spiritual master and lovingly renders him service.

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
