Worldwide Peace and Prosperity

The world is becoming more and more stricken with poverty and turmoil. The politicians do not have a clue how to solve these problems. They do not even know how to make their own lives peaceful and happy, what to speak of properly guiding anyone else. If those who recognize the supremacy of the Personality of Lord Sri Krishna will seriously try to understand the Bhagavad-gita and and the Srimad Bhagavatam, become fully realized in this supreme science, and spread it all over the world, there will come the dawning of a beautiful new age of spiritual enlightenment on this planet. Everyone throughout the entire world will become peaceful and prosperous. Social turmoil and poverty will be relegated to the history books as symptoms of the times when the world was not Krishna conscious.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why is Krishna Beyond Hinduism?

Revered Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble pranam. In one of your recent replies to a question you placed Sri Krishna's teachings beyond Hinduism. But Lord Sri Krishna is regarded by Hindus only! I am sure there must be a reason in your saying so which is not understood by me. Please enlighten me.

Sincere regards

Rajen

Answer: Because He is Jagannatha, not Hindunatha

"Hindu" is a word that exists nowhere in the Vedas. It is a term that was coined by the Muslims to describe those persons who lived east of the River Sindu. They mispronounced "Sindu" as "Hindu" according to their language, and thus they described those persons on the east of the Sindu river as Hindus.

We should never think that Lord Krishna is only Lord for the Hindus. His another name is Jagannatha, the Lord of the entire universe. He has never in the history been designated as Hindunath, the Lord of the Hindus. He is Jagannatha, the Lord of every living being throughout the entire universe.

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
