What the World Needs

Only a Krishna conscious leader can fulfill all the desires of the people in general. He is compassionate because he bestows the highest benefit upon the human society. He is known as patita-pavan, the deliverer of all fallen souls, because under his guidance all the social orders become properly situated for peace and prosperity, and the people in general become fully enlightened with spiritual wisdom for escaping the cycle of birth and death. Such exalted Vaisnavas, devotees of the Lord, can fulfill the desires of everyone. Therefore we bow down at their feet and pray as follows:

vancha-kalpatarubhyas ca
krpa-sindhubhya eva ca
patitanam pavanebhyo
vaisnavebhyo namo namah

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto all the Vaisnava devotees of the Lord. They can fulfill the desires of everyone, just like desire trees, and they are full of compassion for the fallen souls."

If all the government leaders will follow such Vaisnavas, all members of the society will naturally follow, and thus the entire world society will become a perfect atmosphere for combined progress to the highest perfection of life.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: How to Take Guru's Mercy?...

My questions are:
1. How to take the spiritual master's mercy? It's already there, but how to take it?

2.How to associate with pure devotee of Krishna?

Satya Parayani

Answer: Follow His Instructions...

The most powerful mercy of the spiritual master is manifested in the form of the instructions which he gives to his beloved disciples. (They are all beloved.) The proper way to take this mercy is to accept each and every instruction you receive from your spiritual master as your very life and soul by faithfully and carefully executing them to the best of your ability.

When you are associating with Krishna's pure devotee you must always remember to respect equally as you respect God. This is confirmed by Krishna's instruction to Uddhava:

acaryam mam vijaniyan
navamanyeta karhicit
na martya-buddhyasuyeta
sarva-deva-mayo guruh

"One should know the acarya as Myself and never disrespect him in any way. One should not envy him, thinking him an ordinary man, for he is the representative of all the demigods."
--Srimad Bhagavatam 11.17.27

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
