Living My Dream

I dream of a world that is completely Krishna conscious, and I live my dream by every day doing whatever I can to make it happen. Why should I resign myself to living in a world of misery when I can ecstatically live my dream every day of helping to transform an ever-increasingly chaotic world into a spiritual paradise?

How could such a seemingly impossible transformation take place? The answer is quite simple: One person at a time. If we can convince ourselves to take up Krishna consciousness, we can convince others also. And if we can convince those others that they should also convince others to practice and spread Krishna consciousness just as we are doing, a global spiritual revolution will be motion, which will one day completely inundate the planet earth.

If such a revolution possible? There is no question of whether it is possible or impossible because it is already happening. The only question is whether or not you will join.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Did We Evolve from the Apes?

Do you agree that we evolved from chimps and apes?
Did we come to earth as humans or did we evolve from the animal kingdom?

Answer: Through an Evolution of Consciousness

Although Darwin's idea that the forms of the species have evolved is not correct, still it is a fact that we have gradually evolved from the lower forms of life to the higher forms until reaching this human form. The actual evolution is not an evolution of the forms. It is instead an evolution of consciousness. Through the cycle of birth and death as our consciousness becomes more and more developed we take higher and higher life forms until we finally reach the human form. In this human form we can perfect our consciousness by becoming Krishna conscious and thereby escape the cycle of birth and death by going back home, back to Godhead.

Darwin is completely wrong that the forms have evolved. The 8,400,000 different types of forms are always there from the very beginning of the universe because they all originate in the Lord. They are not developed by a so-called process of natural selection. They are all provided by the Lord to satisfy the desires of the living beings to try to enjoy this material world in 8,400,000 varieties of ways.

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 ...
