Kindly Deliver and Empower Us

Srila Prabhupada, you have instructed your disciples to become gurus and deliver the entire world. But how can we deliver the world when we cannot even deliver ourselves? It is only by your mercy, Srila Prabhupada, that we can become delivered. Similarly it is only by your mercy that in spite of our innumerable disqualifications we might be able to do something for delivering the suffering souls of this world. Therefore, since you have ordered us that we must deliver the entire world, the only thing we can do now is to bow down at your lotus feet and beg you with all the humility at our command that you kindly bless us that we can be delivered and that we can be 100% successful in carrying out your order to deliver the entire world. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur said that our movement will be successful when the high court judges all wear tilaka. So we are praying for that day, Srila Prabhupada, begging your mercy that such a wonderful, mellifluous day will come as soon as possible.

Hellish World Out There Waiting to Be DeliveredHellish World Out There Waiting to Be Delivered

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Soul Is Described as Marginal?

I read that the soul is spiritual and therefore belongs to the spiritual world with Krishna. Please explain why then the soul is described as being from marginal energy and not spiritual energy.

Thank you,

Sujata

Answer: He Sometimes Chooses the Material Energy

You have read correctly that the soul is spiritual and thus belongs in the spiritual world with Lord Sri Krishna. Therefore the soul is spiritual energy.

However, since love is voluntary, it cannot be forced, there has to be a ffree choice for the souls in the spiritual world whether they want to remain there or come to the material world to try to enjoy
separately from God. Since they have this free choice and sometimes misuse it, they are also referred to as marginal energy.

So in conclusion, the soul is designated both as spiritual energy and as marginal energy.

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
