Become Perfect in Love and Free from Lust

Lust is when we want to enjoy separately from Krishna, and love is when we want to do nothing except please Krishna with our every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances. Lust does nothing but agitate our minds making us more and more miserable. And love fully satisfies us bringing perfect peace and happiness to the soul. Therefore, why are we so foolish that we continue trying to enjoy on the false platform of lust? This is simply due to our lack of realization of Krishna. Therefore we must dive deeper and deeper into the sweet nectarean ocean of Krishna's holy names. This will fully satisfy us.

Question: Isn't It Futile to Try to Save the People?

Dear Gurudeva,
Namaste.

I would like to ask the following question:

Most of the people in the world are suffering from their entanglement in the cycle of birth and death because they are acting against tenets of ISKCON mission. Is it not futile to devote your time and energy and try to deliver them from devils?

Yours in Yoga

Answer: Even One Soul Saved is a Great Victory

It is not correct to say that people are suffering because they do not follow the tenets of the ISKCON mission. It is correct to say that people are suffering because they do not follow the instructions of Krishna as revealed in the Bhagavad-gita.

If a building is on fire, is it futile to try to save as many people as possible from being consumed in its flames? It may not be possible to save everyone, but still we must try to save as many as possible. This is our duty. This is compassion. This is love. Similarly, this material world is compared to a blazing fire with its entire population presently being devoured in the flames of lust, anger, greed, etc. So is it not duty, compassion, and love to try to save as many people as possible?

Therefore Lord Caitanya has ordered every Indian:

bhārata-bhūmite haila manuṣya janma yāra
janma sārthaka kari’ kara para-upakāra

“One who has taken his birth as a human being in the land of India should make his life successful by becoming fully Krishna conscious and work for the benefit of all other people by giving them Krishna consciousness."
--Caitanya Caritamrita Ādi 9.41

So especially because you are from India, the land of Krishna, we are humbly requesting you to fully surrender to Krishna and assist us in spreading the Krishna consciousness movement all over the world.

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 ...
