Revolutionize the Planet

I've said it many times before, and I will say it again. In fact I'll keep saying it again and again until that day comes when it finally becomes fully manifested or I leave my body at the time of death. We've got to revolutionize this planet. We've got to put God back in the center of every facet of the human society. Just try to understand this message very deeply and sincerely that Krishna or God is the source of all existence, and that therefore we are meant to live in a state of total, complete harmony with Him. The entire planet and indeed the entire universe will become totally peaceful and happy. In other words our lives will become amazingly sublime. Even our material needs will be easily met. But if we neglect to properly respect and serve Krishna and His representative, the bona fide spiritual master, and the Vaisnavas the whole planet will plunge into a deeper and darker every-increasingly nightmarish deathlike condition.

Question: How to Get Free from the Karma from Past Sins?

In my life I had been very fond of eating eggs till year 2004. But now after accepting you as my spiritual master I avoid eating eggs. But I always get disturbed thinking that this misdeed of mine may affect my spiritual advancement. Since every karma has it fruits sometime in life and no one can escape from the balance of his wrong actions, I remain afraid for fear of facing the results of my sins I committed by eating eggs in the past. Please help me to get free from the bulk of my earlier sins and develop love for the Lord.

Thanking you,

Your servant,

Amit

Answer: Surrender to Krishna

According to Lord Krishna's instructions in the Bhagavad-gita, when we fully surrender unto Him He frees us from the reactions to all of our previous sins. That full surrender includes taking shelter of the bona fide spiritual master by the process known as initiation. For you to become initiated you must be recommended by your temple president as someone who is solidly fixed in chanting at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mantra every day on japa mala beads and who is also strictly avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, and gambling. When someone is recommended to me by the temple president of their local ISKCON temple I am very happy to initiate them as my disciple.

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
