Heading for Global Catastrophe

Our modern day global civilization is obsessed with an ever-increasing desire for material sense gratification on an earth planet with a rapidly depleting capacity to provide it. Unless we can put a brake on our lust for ever-increasing sense gratification we will reach the point of implosion where the entire modern civilization collapses under the weight of its own excesses and mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. The only solution for this impending global catastrophe is to educate the world population on how to become satisfied by connecting with the ocean of unlimited pleasure which is there within. If Krishna consciousness can be thus awakened in the hearts of men, people will be fully satisfied with plain living and high thinking and will no longer be bent like rapists on squeezing more and more sense gratification out of Mother Earth. So let's do it. Let's save the world by inundating it in a tidal wave of Krishna consciousness.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Intelligence or Love for Krishna?

Please accept my respectful obeisances.

May your blessings always be on me.

Sir, which of the following two is of greater importance in the practice of Krishna consciousness: intelligence or love for Krishna?

Warm Regards
Sunil

Answer: Love for Krishna is the Supreme Intelligence

Love for Krishna is more important and is all important. Without love of Krishna, there is no real intelligence. And when one has love for Krishna he automatically has all intelligence. Therefore there is no need to try to cultivate intelligence independently. If you will simply focus on being perfectly situated in pure love of Krishna, you will automatically become the most intelligent person. Intelligence means to see Krishna within everything and everything within Krishna. One who has such vision can deal with everything perfectly because love for Krishna is the supreme intelligence.

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
