Heroes of the Global Transformation

Life is very short; it can end at any minute. So there is no time to waste. As long we have the power to speak we must do everything within our power and, with God's help, beyond our power to bring about an all encompassing world-wide spiritual revolution. Mother Earth is crying in agony while the ever-increasingly overwhelming imbalance of the natural order continues worsening and worsening without any solution in sight.

The modern day politicians are completely useless when it comes to solving the problems. In fact it is because of their unenlightened misguidance that the entire world is in chaos. So we would be extremely foolish to wait around for them to rectify the situation.

Therefore, we must now take the full responsibility for planet earth within our hands by full dedicating ourselves to spreading the enlightening knowledge of the Bhagavad-gita to every man, woman, and child in every town, village, city, and hamlet throughout every corner of the world. We must, each and every one of us, become living embodiments of the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita. If we act in this way, the nightmare will be soon over and the entire world will become transformed into a paradise.

It will be a great story for your grandchildren how you were one of a small handful of daring pivotal spiritual revolutionaries who stuck their neck out to spread the enlightening knowledge of the Bhagavad-gita to a completely illusioned world. Those visionaries who now rise to this opportunity will be noted in the annals of history as the heroes of the global transformation.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Sewer System Instead of Worship?

I am trying to understand the vast differences you described in the conditions inside the Sri Sri Krishna Balarama Temple and the streets in town. I lived in Bahrain for several years and was witness to the Indian and Pakistani work camps where I understand even these dire conditions are better than in most of India.

My question is: Would it not be a loving and prudent thing to do if one would take the money being invested in jewels for decoration and invest in a proper sewer system so the many could live in cleaner conditions instead of just a few?

I realize that the 'poor' will always be with us however how can one ask or expect them to raise their level of conscientiousness when they have so many dire unmet needs?

Answer: Temple is First Priority

In our temples we use costume jewelry to avoid the problem of thievery. We also do wide scale free food distribution of sanctified nutritious delicious vegetarian foods.

Spending money on sewage systems is a good idea. However, kindly note that we need good sewage systems on both the subtle and gross levels. The temple cleans the sewage out of the mind and the sewage plant cleans the stool and urine out of the water. Unless their minds are cleaned, the people will stubbornly hold onto their dirty habits. Even if we introduce the most modern high-tech sewage systems, we will not be successful in introducing cleanliness unless we first teach them how to purify their consciousness. This is why the first priority is the temple, the subtle sewage system, and then the sewage plant on the gross level.
