Saving the World from Total Anarchy

After three weeks of wonderful transcendental adventures of spreading the ultimate science in Germany, Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Romania today we are heading north via Malev Airlines to share this supreme nectar in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Russia. Even though the whole world is gradually dying due to a lack of Krishna consciousness, we are now so fortunate that His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has given us the switch by which the entire darkened, deluded, dead world can be illuminated, enlightened and revived. All we have to do is spread to every city, town, village, and hamlet on the globe the sublime teachings of Lord Krishna which have been so profoundly, perfectly, and succinctly explained by Srila Prabhupada. The more we spread these teachings, the more we will see how the entire world has been saved from the brink of total anarchy.

Sankarshan Das Sharing the Supreme Bliss in Timisoara

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Are Krishna Devotees Less Opulent?

Beloved Teacher,

Forgive my stupid question, but this troubles me....

I have read in texts that devotees of Lord Krishna are often not materially opulent. This I understand is in fact the mercy of the Lord for when material opulences are taken away the devotee truly learns to be dependent upon the Lord. Thus losing material possessions is in fact a boon in disguise.

However, my beloved teacher, I have fear that if I advance more in bhakti yoga I would lose my material opulences. I am young businessman with ambitions to expand my business and be among the top firms in my field of expertise. Do I have to choose between Krishna and my business ambitions? Or is there a way I can have the goodness of both the worlds?

Please guide me,

Hare Krishna

Answer: Become World's Wealthiest Businessman

Material opulences are only removed from those who are torn between spirit and matter. My advise to you is that you should fully dedicate yourself to Krishna and aggressively pursue your business ambitions in His service by trying to become the wealthiest businessman in the entire world. In this way you will be able to render unparalleled service to the Lord by profusely funding the expanding of the Krishna consciousness movement.

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
