Embracing the World Deliverance Mission

To simply chant Hare Krishna for one's own deliverance ignoring the helpless plight of the billions of conditioned souls who are caught up in the cycle of birth and death suffering like anyone is another type of selfishness. How I can simply think of feeding myself when all around me everyone is starving to death? Therefore the Vaisnava, the devotee of the Lord, is compassionate. He wants to save the suffering people of this world from their misery by giving them Krishna consciousness. He fully dedicates his entire life for the world deliverance mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for inundating the entire universe in a tidal wave of love of God. By tightly embracing this mission within his heart he always revels in the unlimited bliss of Krishna consciousness.

Question: Krishna's Beauty Described in Other Scriptures?

As God's most attractive form is as Lord Krishna then is Lord Krishna's beauty described and paintings of Him present in the scriptures of Christianity, Sikhism and other modes of religious practice? 

Your servant,
Sunil

Answer: They Know Of God, But They Don't Know Who is God.

This is the difference between religionists who are Krishna conscious and those who are not. The others know something about God but they do not know personally who is God. It is like someone who knows that his country has a president, but he does not know the name of the president, what he looks like, or anything about his personal activities.

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
