Taking Over the World for Krishna

In the Bhagavad-gita it is stated that wherever there is Krishna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will certainly be victory, opulence, extraordinary power, and morality. So why not take advantage of this and try to take over the world for Krishna? Why should we allow the entire world to suffer ever-increasing anxiety when we have the supreme antidote for counteracting all the poisons of material existence? If we do not make a sincere effort to try to take over the world for Krishna, will this be an act of compassion? Or will it be an act of negligence? If someone is drowning should we try to save him? Or should we let him drown? If the entire world population is drowning, should we try to save them? Or should we let them drown?

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Can a Christian Practice Krishna Consciousness?

Can one be a Christian (a follower of Jesus Christ) study or practice Krishna Consciousness? Also, why the shaven heads? And what about the Indian names? Who gives those and how are they given?

I am apologize for sounding ignorant - but I guessed you would be the one to ask. You have been very kind and patient over the almost two years I have know of you.

Safe journey. Good health.
With great respect.

Answer: Krishna Consciousness is the Perfection of Christianity

It is so nice to hear from you. I am always happy to answer your sincere questions.

Yes, a Christian can practice Krishna consciousness. Indeed, Krishna consciousness is the perfection of Christianity.

Head shaving is for cleanliness, which is next to Godliness.

Sanskrit names are not Indian. Sanskrit is the language that is spoken in the spiritual world. The Sanskrit names are given by the spiritual master at the time of initiation to remind the new initiate of his or her eternal spiritual identity as a servant of Krishna or God.

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

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
