The Krishna Consciousness Movement Can Save the World

By removing Krishna or God from the its center the entire world civilization is now downwardly spiraling out of control. Selfishness, self indulgence, and a lack of shame over increasingly more and more abominable and disgusting activities is becoming the accepted standard all over the world. Therefore there is no greater or more pressing need than the awakening of the dormant Krishna consciousness or God consciousness in the hearts of all.

The Krishna consciousness movement has been started to save the world from all of this madness. Kindly join with us and help us in our mission to save the grossly deluded suffering society.

Question: Who is Right, Krishna or Jesus?

The other day I was having a conversation with one of my colleagues on the topic of religion. He was arguing that although the spiritual master is leading us towards God, he too is a human being who can make mistakes. He was also arguing that although guru gives us transcendental knowledge, what are we to think if his disciples engage in sinful activities?

He was saying that in the Bible Lord Jesus never proclaims that he is God. He simply presents himself as a servant of God. He was finding fault with Krishna's declaration in the Bhagavad-gita that He is God. So, who is right Krishna or Jesus?

How should I advise him?

Amritha

Answer: They Are Both Right

If the guru does not properly represent God, he is not a bona fide spiritual master. The bona fide spiritual master is that person who properly represents God. Such a bona fide spiritual master will never tolerate disciples who misrepresent him. He will rectify them of their sinful ways.

Jesus never proclaims that he is God because he is not God. He is the servant of God. And Krishna proclaims that He is God because it is a fact that He is God. How can we think that someone is wrong when they speak the truth? If we do so, this is our ignorance.

The Little Sparrow Who Conquered the Ocean

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 ...
