Wonderful Books that Will Deliver the World

The sublime books written by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada are the most profound and powerful books written in the history of the world for the enlightenment, upliftment, and deliverance of the entire human society from the clutches of debilitating darkness, illusion, and confusion. If all the leading thinkers of the world will simply read Srila Prabhupada's books the entire world atmosphere will immediately become greatly changed for the better. Peace and prosperity will become manifest in every corner of the world. Prabhupada's chief work of translation is the Srimad Bhagavatam in which it is very aptly stated in verse 1.3.43:

kṛṣṇe sva-dhāmopagate
dharma-jñānādibhiḥ saha
kalau naṣṭa-dṛśām eṣa
purāṇārko 'dhunoditaḥ

"This Bhāgavata Purāna is as brilliant as the sun, and it has arisen just after the departure of Lord Krishna to His own abode, accompanied by religion, knowledge, etc. Persons who have lost their vision due to the dense darkness of ignorance in the age of Kali shall get light from this Purāna."

May everyone now in every country of the world take advantage of the unlimited mercy available in Srila Prabhupada's books. This will bring a wonderful new era to this planet.

Question: Help Needed to Give Up Bad Habits

Gurudeva,

There are some bad habits which I do no want to repeat. Every day from the morning I decide to give them up. But when that particular time comes I do it again and feel guilty. Please tell me how to control my feelings that take me on the wrong path. Actually I am not able to tell you my problems properly, but I need your help.

V.D.

Answer: Replace Them With Something Better

Bad habits cannot simply be stopped. They cannot be given up unless you replace them with something better. That something better is Krishna consciousness. Therefore every morning you should dive deeply into the nectarean ocean of Krishna consciousness by carefully chanting the sweet names of the Hare Krishna mantra at least 16 times around japa mala beads. In this way you will experience a taste so sweet that you will forget all your nonsense bad habits rejecting them as simply a foolish waste of time. Your bad habits will evaporate as your new habit of always remembering and pleasing Krishna at every minute emerges. You will be like that ugly caterpillar who transformed himself into a beautiful butterfly.

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
