Our World Deliverance Mission

Srila Prabhupada has ordered his disciples that they must deliver the world from ignorance and suffering by the wide scale dissemination of transcendental knowledge and the chanting of the holy names of God. Therefore it is our duty to obey Srila Prabhupada and be compassionate upon all the fallen, suffering souls of this age by bringing them to Krishna consciousness. It is not that we want to impose Krishna consciousness upon them. This is not required because everyone already has Krishna consciousness within them. Therefore our mission is liberate the people from all the unnatural, artificial mentalities which are clogging their ability to be who they are actually are, the eternal servants of Krishna.

Question: Why Is Guru Indebted to His Disciples?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

You wrote me that you are eternally indebted to me for my helping you to serve Srila Prabhupada's world deliverance mission. How can it be that you are eternally indebted to me, when it is I who is eternally indebted to you?

Your servant
Rupa Manjari devi dasi

Answer: Because They Assist Him In World Deliverance Mission

This feeling of indebtedness between the guru and the disciple is a two way street. This is the bond of love which eternally ties together the spiritual master with his disciples. The disciples are eternally indebted to their spiritual master for delivering them from the cycle of birth and death, and the spiritual master is eternally indebted to his disciples because they have fully dedicated their lives to assist him in serving Srila Prabhupada's world deliverance mission.

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 ...
