The Utmost Urgency of Our Mission

Lord Caitanya has descended with the mission of delivering all the fallen, conditioned souls of this material world back to their original home in the spiritual world. By His divine mercy everyone throughout this entire universe can become peaceful and happy. Unfortunately due to their being so much misguided by foolish, materialistic leaders, the entire world population is at the present moment plunged into an ocean of illusion and anxiety. Even though they think themselves satisfied by temporary, illusory pleasure, the real fact is that no one is actually happy in this material world. Therefore Caitanya Mahaprabhu's mission is of the utmost urgency for bringing genuine sanity and happiness to a world that is becoming more and more bewildered with each passing day. This mission has now been entrusted to ISKCON, the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Therefore, if the world leaders will now co-operate with ISKCON, a new era of peace and prosperity will manifest in every town and village throughout the entire world.

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
The Most Merciful Savior of the Fallen Souls

Question: Every Tulasi Plant Has a Different Soul?

Tulasi devi is very dear to Krishna. And every devotee has Tulasi devi in the form of the tulasi planet in his/her home. We know every plant has individual soul too. Does this mean that we have so many Tulasi devi souls in every home or is it the same soul in every plant?

Kindly enlighten me.

Your servant,
Yogesh

Answer: She is One Soul Appearing in Many Plants

A disciple named Vidya dasi asked Srila Prabhupada, "Is each tulasi a separate jiva soul or an expansion of one pure devotee?" He answered, "Tulasi is one devotee who appears wherever there is devotion to Krishna."

So she is one soul who simultaneously appears in many plants wherever there is devotion to Krishna.

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 ...
