How to Solve the World's Problems

There is pandemonium everywhere. The whole world is going helter-skelter. Do we have to sit back passively, helplessly watching the entire world society gradually deteriorate more and more? No. There's something we can do about it. We can revolutionize our consciousness and revolutionize the world. How? To whatever extent we awaken our dormant enlightened consciousness, our Krishna consciousness, to that extent each of us will have a natural uplifting impact on the global consciousness. So let's do it now. Let's focus on becoming fully absorbed in Krishna consciousness and delivering the entire world from chaos. Expanding the Krishna consciousness within and without will easily solve all of the world's problems in one stroke. Our motto should be, "Become Krishna conscious and tell everyone about Krishna."

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Technical Reason Vegetarian Food is Okay

Can you please give a technical reason why it is alright to take food other than dead animals and other non-vegetarian foods? I've read in one of the posts that by eating vegetarian food also we often tend to commit sin, so we should offer it to Krishna and accept the prasadam. But this explanation doesn't satisfy some people who question that plants also have life so to eat them is also sin. I need a strong technical and biological reason to support your answer. Please help by elaborating and make me understand, it would be of immense help.

Thank you,
Sivarama

Answer: Krishna Does Not Need a Tcchnical Reason

Krishna or God, the maker of the universal laws, does not require any biological or technical reason for establishing them. They are established simply according to His desires. These are the higher scientific principles which govern the universe. Krishna has stated them in the Bhagavad-gita. These principles are insurmountable. If violated, one suffers adverse reactions. One is allowed by Krishna to accept fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains if they have first been offered to Him with love and devotion. Any other type of eating, vegetarian or non-vegetarian, is in violation of the universal laws. These laws are established directly by God, and He does not need any technological or biological justification for establishing them.

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
