I Am Calling for a World Revolution

We cannot stand to see the people destroying their chances for genuine happiness by being so deeply absorbing themselves in sense gratification activities. Even if someone wants to break out of serving their senses and wants to instead serve God, it is very difficult to do so because all around them is a human society that is deeply absorbed in sense gratification and is actively encouraging all of its members that sense gratification both subtle and gross is the pathway to happiness. Therefore we are calling for a world wide revolution of consciousness in all spheres of the human society, a revolution based on the concept of serving the Supreme Person who is the source of all existence instead of serving our voracious senses. Such divine service will bring peace and prosperity to the entire world and therefore should immediately be adopted by everyone, especially the leading members of the world society.

Question: Recreational Sex Once in a Month is Illicit?

Hare Krishna. Gurudeva, in one of your answers in "Thought for the Day" regarding illicit sex you have mentioned that sex inside of marriage is also illicit if it is not for the purpose of procreation and is more than once a month. If sex inside marriage is not done for the purpose of procreation but is done only once a month, would it be considered as illicit sex or not?

Answer: Fly High in the Hare Krishna Mantra Sky.

Non-procreational sex is illicit, even if it is only once a month. Therefore instead of wasting time entangling oneself even deeper within the modes of material nature and the resulting repetition of birth and death, one should cultivate the supreme taste of Krishna consciousness, which is millions and billions more juicy than even the juiciest sex, by deeply absorbing one's consciousness every day in the transcendental sound vibration of:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे

In this way you'll be flying so high in the Hare Krishna mantra sky that you wouldn't dream of coming in for a landing by an act of illicit sex.

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
