Preaching for the Next 10,000 Years

One of my disciples, Sanat Kumara Das from Malaysia, has written in his 2014 Vyas Puja homage to me:

"My prayers to Lord Gauranga to prolong Srila Gurudeva's preaching mission for another 10,000 years and guide all the fallen souls to path of perfection."

After reading his homage I was thinking, "What would it be like if Krishna did in fact keep me here in this material world (either in the same body or in a string of bodies) for the next 10,000 years to continue preaching until the entire world becomes Krishna conscious?" This would be an incredibly exciting experience to witness first hand how the entire world gradually comes to appreciate Srila Prabhupada's teachings as the guiding principle for the human society. But what about missing all those nectarean pastimes of Krishna that are going on in the spiritual world? The inundation of this material world with the tidal wave of Krishna consciousness is one of Krishna's most unlimitedly sublime pastimes. Therefore one whose stay in this material world is prolonged for preaching does not miss anything at all. In fact he tastes the ultimate nectar at every minute.

After considering these points all I can do is bow down at the feet of my beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offering myself to them as their eternal servant that they kindly engage me for all of eternity however they like for the respiritualizaiton of the human society.

Question: How to Be Free From Lust?

How to be free from lust?

Your servant,
Bhakta Shashank

Answer: Love Krishna

If you love Krishna, your lust will disappear. To develop your love for Krishna you must always hear about Him, chant His glories, remember Him, and serve Him. In this way you will always swim in the ocean of love of Godhead with your heart totally absorbed in Him. Mr. Lust will be conspicuous only by his absence.

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 ...
