Worldwide Peace and Prosperity

Everyone is desiring that there shall be worldwide peace and prosperity, but the difficulty is that everyone is also ignorant of the means of achieving it. They strive for peace through politics and diplomacy, and they endeavor for prosperity through economic development. But these methods will always ultimately prove to be in ineffective because unless we address the root cause of turmoil and poverty all of our attempts for establishing peace and prosperity will always remain superficial at best.

The root cause of the anomalies that afflict the human civilization is that we are not in a loving, harmonious relationship with the source of our existence. Rather we have an antagonist relationship with the origin of our being. The bhakti yoga science is perfect system given by God Himself to bring us back into a perfect state of harmony with Him, the source of our being. The time has come for all intelligent, thoughtful, and sensitive persons to engage themselves in the bhakti yoga system for the upliftment of themselves and the suffering humanity.

Answers According to the Vedic Version

Question: Why do Deity Worship?...

Why do deity worship? When one chants Hare Krishna or any holy names of the Supreme Lord this is equivalent to deity worship as the holy name is non different from the deity.

Answer: It Empowers Your Chanting...

In the Kali-yuga the yuga dharma is chanting the holy names. That alone is sufficient for self-realization. Even though the deity and the holy names are non-different, deity worship is also accepted because it helps one to become purified for properly chanting the Lord's holy names. It empowers your chanting.

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
