Prayer for World Deliverance

Our dearmost Lord Sri Krishna, we are greatly disturbed to see a world around us which has so totally lost its connection with you. The world population has been grossly misguided and dragged down to the level of animals in their consciousness and in their behavior. This means that in their next life these poor souls will take birth as animals. We know that it is our duty to somehow or other save them by bringing them to Krishna consciousness. But due to our own lack of Krishna consciousness we find ourselves quite unfit to do so. Therefore we humbly beg for your mercy that we can become fully pure in devotion to you and that we may become empowered to attract the entire world population to join this Krishna consciousness movement. When that glorious day comes the entire world population will be peaceful, happy, and prosperous. This will be the full blown manifestation of the golden era of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. His most soothing moon-like mercy bestowing the greatest benediction of up all living beings will then be fully appreciated by everyone in every town and village throughout the world.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: What is Reality and the Absolute Truth?

Gurudeva, 

What is the nature of reality and what is meant by Absolute Truth?

Kindly enlighten me.

Your humble servant.
Anil S.

Answer: Nature is Spiritual. Absolute Truth is Krishna.

The nature of reality is spiritual. It is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss. However, because we are presently covered by maya, the material energy, we are instead experiencing temporality, ignorance, and misery. The material energy in which we are presently trapped is not the nature of reality. Just as a cloud may block our vision of the sun, the material energy is blocking our vision of the actual spiritual nature of reality.

The Absolute Truth is that from which everything emanates. That Absolute Truth is Krishna Himself. Everything emanates from Krishna. Therefore He is the Absolute Truth.

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
