Mission Impossible or Possible?

My spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, has given us the mission of delivering the entire world from its chaotic condition by educating everyone in the science of Krishna consciousness. How are we to do that when only an insignificant percentage of the world population cares to hear our message? It appears to be completely impossible. But yet by the inconceivable potency of the all-powerful, all-merciful Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, even the most impossible thing can become highly possible. So reposing our full faith in the order we have received from Srila Prabhupada and in the inconceivable mercy of the Supreme Lord, we continue with our mission of enlightening the entire human society with the transcendental science of Krishna consciousness.

Our Mission: Inspire the Whole World to Chant Leading Kirtan--Gurgaon, India--10 April 2011

Our Mission: Inspire the Whole World to Chant Leading Kirtan

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Do You Hear Our Prayers?

Srila Gurudeva,

I hope all is well with you. You mentioned, "Always pray to guru and Krishna." Do you hear our prayers when we do that?

Thank you for increasing my understanding.

L.P.

Answer: No Conscious Prayers Go in Vain

Srila Prabhupada has nicely answered this question. So I am giving you his answer as follows:

Regarding your questions: Are the spiritual master and the grand spiritual master consciously aware of the prayers of a sincere devotee who prays in love to Them? -- The answer is that no conscious prayers go in vain. They are transmitted positively. But one thing you must know that any prayer you offer to your spiritual master and superior spiritual Master, all of them are conveyed to Krishna, so no sincere prayers go in vain. We shall always offer such prayers to the spiritual master, superior spiritual master, Vaisnava acaryas, Lord Caitanya, and at the end Radha Krishna, that is the system.
--from a letter to: Mahananda -- Los Angeles 27 April, 1970

Srila Prabhupada has given the perfect answer.

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
