World Wide Vedic Culture

25 March 2009--Now we are departing from the holy land of India and heading out to the western part of the world in Europe. Even though we do not presently see Vedic culture in the western countries, formerly it was there in full force. In fact, before 5,000 years ago this entire planet was under the leadership of the Vedic kings of India. There was even a Vedic sage named Trita who lived in the west. He was one of the three sons of Prajapati Gautama and is described in Srila Prabhupada's Srimad Bhagavatam purport as coming from the western countries, most probably from Europe. By the influence of the Kali Yuga Vedic culture completely disappeared from the western countries and is now almost completely dead in India as well. Our mission to make the entire human civilization happy, peaceful, and prosperous by re-establishing its original Vedic culture everywhere. Kindly fully dedicate your life for helping us to be successful in this mission.

Question: Conflict in Sri Lanka

Lord Krishna knows every thing that is going to happen tomorrow in this world. Why he doesn't He stop all the painful events and fights?

Lord Krishna knows it but he doesn't like to stop it. Because He is everywhere in everything in this world. Everyone is operated by Lord Krishna, both the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan army. Is it true?

Thank you very much again. I always need your blessings.

With Regards,

Answer: Solution for All Conflicts

Although Krishna certainly has to the power to turn everyone into slaves of His will, He does not do so because then there would be no possibility for a loving relationship to exist between the Lord and the living beings. In a similar way, the parents give love to their children and then give the children the free choice to reciprocate that love with them or not. It is not that the parents keep the children as prisoners in their home chained to their bed. This would be a miserable situation both for the children and for the parents.

This material world is place for those persons who have deviated from the will of the Lord. Therefore it is natural that so much conflict should be going on here regularly. Out of compassion Krishna comes here again and again and sends His representatives again and again to save the poor struggling souls from their miserable entanglement in the cycle of birth and death.

The conflicts we experience in this material world are due to our lack of Krishna consciousness. We can turn the pain we feel by seeing all of these unnecessary conflicts into a life dedicated to awakening the human society to the teachings of Lord Krishna. This will put a permanent stop to the conflicts and their resultant suffering. In fact this is the plan of the Lord for stopping the conflicts. Now you kindly surrender yourself unto the will of the Lord by making your life perfect and at every opportune moment telling others about the sublime teachings of Lord Sri Krishna as spoken in the Bhagavad-gita. Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu stated that this is the duty of every Indian.

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
