Full Moon Inspiration in Sri Vrindavan Dhama

15 April 2014--This morning after relishing Mangala Arati at Srila Prabhupada'a samadhi, when I returned to our quarters for the ecstasy of offering Mangala Arati to Sri Sri Radha Damodar I beheld through the trees the most beautiful shining full moon radiating in the sky reminding me of that unforgettable night 5,000 years ago when Krishna and the gopis danced the rasa dance for an entire nighttime of Lord Brahma in the beautiful moonlit night of Vrindavan. There is truly nothing sweeter than remembering Krishna and His pastimes.

Question: Will the Material World Eventually Be Deserted?

Please accept my humble obeisance's, All glories to Srila Prabhupada! 

Thanks for sharing the daily broadcast of the Ultimate Self Realization Course. We daily read and share the information received from you.

One of our devotees has a question as follows for which I request an answer:

"Since everyone here in this material world will eventually be rectified and go back to home, back to Godhead, will there come a time when all living entities will finish the cycle of birth and death and the material world is completely deserted?"

Thanks and Regards
Pawan S.

Answer: There Will Always Be Souls Who are Falling Down

Just as within a state there will be always be criminals who require being kept in the prison, in a similar way, the material world will never be deserted because there will always be living beings rebelling against the authority of the Lord and thus falling down from the spiritual world into this material existence.

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
