Question: Better to Serve Here or in Spiritual World?

My dear Maharaja!

Please accept my respectful obeisances!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

When you started this preaching tour you are presently on, you said that it was a very auspicious trip, but you also said that even more auspicious was the trip back to home, back to Godhead. Well, I have a question: Is it more important to serve the Lord in the spiritual world or to serve Him in this world rescuing the fallen souls?

I am asking this question based on two verses from the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 18 where the Lord says that there never was nor ever will be anyone dearer to Him than the person who explains to the devotees this transcendental science. And also in the eight prayers left by Lord Caitanya where He says that as long as He has devotional service, He doesn't even desire liberation.

Thank you very much, and please forgive me for stealing your valuable time!!!

Your aspiring servant,
Kesavarama Das

Answer: Service in Both Worlds is First Class

Serving the Lord in the spiritual world and serving His mission here in this material world of delivering the fallen souls back to home, back to Godhead are equally important. Therefore the pure devotee simply fully surrenders to the will of the Lord and is happy to serve Krishna either in the material world as a preacher or in the spiritual world in his original spiritual form. He does not experience any difference between these two types of service because even while in this material world the pure devotee is situated in his original relationship with Krishna. It is possible to serve in both worlds simultaneously as we read in the Srimad Bhagavatam that Prahlada Maharaja is simultaneously in the material world and the spiritual 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 ...
