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
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.Sankarshan Das Adhikari
