This Will Become World's Most Popular Movement

Because the Krishna consciousness movement is based on the Bhagavad-gita as it is, it will become in due course of time the world's most popular movement. By doing so it will bring great relief to the suffering human population, a relief which no other movement is able to provide. What is it that makes the Bhagavad-gita so special? It is the direct words of the Supreme Godhead Himself for the deliverance of all living beings from the quagmire of repeated birth and death.

Question: How Could We Fall from the Spiritual World?

I am truly amazed by seeing your redemptory service for encouraging Krishna consciousness among all of us. But I don't know why I get doubtful in certain philosophies which I try to figure out logically. One of such is the unknown reason why we got trapped in this material (inferior) world when once we were a part of that all blissful, full of knowledge, full of truth, the most attractive Goloka Vrindavan. Every time when I try to see a satisfying answer all I read is that somehow we got trapped. Or some say that it was our free will as granted by Krishna. But even if it was a free will, such a clever soul like ours should have never ever tried to fall in the cycle of 8,400,000 species living in all possible hostility.

Yours truly,
most fallen soul,

Answer: Just Focus on Getting Back There

If one comes down with a disease, his first business is to get cured from the disease, not to figure out from where he caught it. Therefore you should now focus all of your energy on awakening your dormant Krishna consciousness. Don't become distracted by trying to figure why you fell down in the first place. Just be fixed on one thing and one thing only: how to go back to Godhead as soon as possible. Once you get back to your original pure state of consciousness, you will easily be able to comprehend why you fell down. In your present state of conditioned consciousness you will never be able to fully grasp how it was that you could fall down from the all perfect 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

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.
