Work Cooperatively to Krishnize this Planet

Srila Prabhupada ordered us, his followers, to make the entire world Krishna conscious. Even though such a mission is by material calculations impossible, it becomes indeed possible when his followers leverage and synergize their energy through cooperation. Srila Prabhupada therefore very much emphasized the importance of cooperation. He instructed, "If you work cooperatively, you'll get more strength." And he also gave warning, "Now all my disciples must work combinedly and with cooperation to spread this Sankirtana Movement. If you cannot work together then my work is stopped up. Our society is like one big family and our relationships should be based on love and trust." If the members of the Krishna consciousness movement will stick tightly to Srila Prabhupada's above instructions, in the future it will noted by historians how the Krishna consciousness movement saved the world in its hour of darkest despair.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

If Lord Buddha was incarnation of Lord Krishna Himself, then why Buddhist philosophy teaches the non-existence of the soul ?

Answer: Buddha's Special Undercover Mission

Krishna appeared as Lord Buddha specifically for the purpose of putting a stop to animal killing. In the beginning of the Kali yuga prior to Buddhadeva’s advent the people of India had become so degraded that they were killing the cows on the concocted plea that cow killing was authorized by the Vedas. They erroneously concluded that in previous times the brahmanas killed cows in sacrificial ceremonies. But the fact is that the brahmanas did not kill cows. They rejuvenated old cows giving them young calf bodies by placing them in the sacrificial fire along with the precise chanting of powerful Vedic mantras.

Since the people at that time were killing cows misusing the Vedas as justification, Lord Buddha appeared and stated that the Vedas are false. In denying the Vedas he taught atheism and the non-existence of soul. He taught the principles of karma and ahimsa (non-violence) that if one kills cows he will suffer the punishment of a severe karmic reaction. In this way, through an undercover mission, he saved the poor cows from being tortured, and paved the way for future Vaisnava acharyas to re-establish pure bhakti in India.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
