Heading Out to Mendoza, Argentina

7 January 2013--After an ecstatic weekend of sharing the nectar of Krishna consciousness with the devotees in Santiago, Chile, today we are heading out to Mendoza, Argentina. Mendoza is just a short 55 minute flight, but a very high hop over the Andes mountains that separate these two cities. Usually when we go to another stop on our lecture tour I at first feel like a visitor just passing through. But by the time we leave, it feels like we are leaving home. This feeling at home is not surprising because our real home is wherever the pure devotees of the Lord are absorbed twenty-four hours a day in hearing and chanting His glories, and this we are experiencing at ISKCON centers all over the world.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: Kalki Avatar Will Destroy Everyone?

Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
All glories to guru and Gauranga

Dear Srila Gurudeva, please enlighten me. In the Srimad Bhagavatam: SB 12.2.21: "After all the impostor kings have been killed, the residents of the cities and towns will feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and other decorations of Lord Vāsudeva, and their minds will thereby become transcendentally pure."

This verse says, "After all the impostor kings have been killed." That means Lord Kalki will kill only the impostor kings and not the other residents, because the next line further explains, "the residents of the cities and towns will feel the breezes carrying the most sacred fragrance of the sandalwood paste and other decorations." Is my understanding correct?

Your humble servant,

Answer: Kalki Avatar Will Only Kill the Demons

The Kali yuga will end and a new Satya yuga will begin. Even though there will be mass annihilation of millions of demons, the devotees will live and be blessed with the arrival of the Satya yuga. Two Vedic kings, Devāpi and Maru, who are currently living incognita in the village named Kalāpa, will then emerge from hiding and re-establish the Surya and Candra royal dynasties.

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
