Pure Chanting Bestows the Ultimate Benefit

There is a great power in purely chanting the Hare Krishna mahamantra. In this regard Srila Prabhupada describes as follows in his purport to Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila 7.83:

"A sincere student aurally receives the holy name from the spiritual master, and after being initiated he follows the regulative principles given by the spiritual master. When the holy name is properly served in this way, automatically the spiritual nature of the holy name spreads; in other words, the devotee becomes qualified in offenselessly chanting the holy name. When one is completely fit to chant the holy name in this way, he is eligible to make disciples all over the world, and he actually becomes jagad-guru. Then the entire world, under his influence, begins to chant the holy names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra."

In other words when one becomes pure in his chanting he becomes empowered to make the entire world Krishna conscious. This is truly wonderful! What could be more sublime? This means that every devotee can do something tangible for delivering the world from its ever-increasingly problematic condition. Simply by mastering the art of pure chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra Krishna's devotee can deliver the entire world from its distressful situation. This is all happening by the inconceivable mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When we chant purely when are not only benefitting ourselves. We are also rendering the highest service to all living beings.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: A Better Age at the End of Kali Yuga?

I received the Saturday "Thought Of The Day", and it was about the Kali Yuga. Funnily enough, I just read in a book about the Kali Yuga, and now I received the e-mail thought about Kali Yuga!

I do have a question. Do you believe we are near the end of this Kali Yuga, and if not, when do you think the end will be? Also, what will (or is supposed to) happen at the end of the Yuga? Will we be in a new age, a better one? Is it the end for the Earth?

Thank you for your time and wisdom,
Jenna

Answer: Join the Better Age Right Now

The Kali Yuga will not end for another 427,000 years. A pious age known as the Satya Yuga will follow it. So we are in for a long dark ride. However there is a 10,000 years Golden Era of Lord Caitanya which happens in the midst of Kali Yuga. It began 500 years ago and will gradually transform the world into a paradisial atmosphere. Are you willing to help us bring in the Golden Caitanya Era? If so, kindly dedicate yourself as a volunteer to help us spread the Krishna consciousness movement to every town and village.

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
