Become Competent to Lead the World

Do not remain a slave of your senses, a dancing dog of their constant dictates. Become instead a master of your senses by intelligently managing your senses in all times places and circumstances by engaging them in the service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such a person who always vigilantly and diligently manages his senses is called a goswami, a master of the senses. That person who becomes 100% qualified as a goswami is fully competent to lead the entire world out of its present chaotic condition. The world at present desperately needs such genuine goswamis. Therefore, the mission of the Krishna consciousness movement is to create goswamis all over the world, who can usher in a new age of peace and prosperity for the entire human civilization. We are thus requesting all thoughtful men and women of all nations to come forward now and take the training for becoming competent to lead the world.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Is God's Creation Defective?

Gurudeva
Please accept my namaskar.

I have a question. The population of earth is so huge. So many persons have come to the material world. Does this mean that God's creation is defective? Why didn't God create us in such a fashion that we do not have to ever fall to this material world? And even falling into this world, why should we suffer? Why didn't God create things in such a way that even here you enjoy life without forgetting the Supreme? Why do we forget Him? Is this a defect in the way He created us. I get this question most of the time. Can you plesase clarify.

Thanks a lot.

Answer: We Should Not Blame God for Our Mistake

God has created us in such a way that do not ever have to fall into this material world. Our real nature is to always happily remain in the service of God. Our defect is that instead of remaining our natural God-created selves we sometimes foolish try to defy God's preeminence, positioning ourselves as God instead. God does not send us here to this material world. We sometimes send ourselves here out of a foolish desire to live in a world where we can be God.

Another defect we have is that instead of owning up to our mistake we sometimes try to blame God for our mistake of defying Him. Can the criminal blame the government for his becoming a criminal? No. It is his fault. When the police come to arrest him, can he claim that he is not guilty, that they should arrest the government for his crimes instead of arresting him? Such a thing would be ludicrous. So why are we so foolishly trying to pin the blame on God for our own nonsense? This is not very appropriate.

We can be happy even in this world, if we will always remember the Lord. He is giving us all facility to do so. Those who are actually intelligent take advantage of the instructions contained in the Bhagavad-gita and mold their lives in such a way that they can always, at every second, remember their beloved Lord, Sri Krishna and thus taste the sweetest happiness at every minute.

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
