How Did We Get in this Mess?

What a horrible mess we are in now on this planet! Things weren't always such a quagmire. There was a time when practically everyone lived in peace and prosperity in a state of harmony with the laws of nature and the laws of God. But gradually as men became more and more godless the atmosphere deteriorated more and more until reaching its now most critical stage in which human civilization is tottering on the edge of collapse. Since the deterioration is manifested in direct proportion to the godlessness, the only sensible and practical solution for the multitude of problems plaguing our planet is to vigorously re-introduce isavasya, the God centered principle, in all spheres of human activity. This and only this will bring about the desired peace and prosperity in this world.

Question: Policeman Needs Help

Dear Maharaja,

Hare Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisances unto your lotus feet. I am a police officer and I have been called to write an article on human values. I want you to help me to write this article. If I will touch the Commissioner, I am sure that he will give me the chance to spread God consciousness within the department and by their help I will touch the community at large.

Please, I beg for your mercy in order to achieve success. Thank you very much.

Your servant,

Satidanand

Answer: The Highest Platform of Human Values

I am very happy to hear that the Krishna consciousness movement has now gained a foothold within the realm of the police. When all the policemen become Krishna conscious it will be the dawning of a new era on this planet.

You may expound on the following principles in your article:

1. The highest platform of human values is to see that all living beings are brothers and sisters because they are all coming from the same source, the Supreme Person, who is the origin of all existence. This Supreme Person is known variously by different names according to different religious traditions. But in spite of His many different names He is the same person, and therefore since all living beings are His children we are all members of the same family. To the impersonalists He is known as the Supreme Brahman and to the scientists He is approached as the origin of the universe. But in spite of the different ways in which He is understood, He is still the same original person.

2. When all living beings are respected as divine since they are all sparks of that original Supreme Person, there will naturally manifest sweet loving relationships between all persons, and crime, terrorism, and war will become practically non-existent.

3. Therefore the greatest necessity of the modern day civilization is to educate the members of the world society in the science of the Supreme Person, which will thereby automatically elevate everyone to highest platform of human values.

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
