Turn This World into the Spiritual World

The whole world can be turned into the spiritual world. All we have to do is put Krishna back in the center of all spheres of activities, where He belongs. This will be the greatest, most joyous paradigm shift that has even unfolded in the entire history of our universe. This is the mission of the Krishna consciousness movement. If you have not already done so, kindly make your life unlimitedly glorious by fully dedicating it to this mission. You will experience unlimited happiness, and your entrance into the kingdom of God will be assured at the time, known to the ignorant as death, when you leave your present material body behind and revive your eternal spiritual body.

Question: Where's the Time to Read Transcendental Literature?

Dear Guru Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am not trying to find an excuse to not read Prabhupada's all books. In fact I love Prabhupada's books tremendously, and they are the ultimate guiding principle of my life. I just wanted to ask whether its practically possible to read all of Prabhupada's books in today's fast-paced times. Srila Prabhupada has written many multi-volumes of literature, and if we were to count it goes to nearby 80. I was wondering whether its feasibly possible to not only read all of his books but also remember them and apply them in our life.

Corrections and clarifications from your side are most welcome. Please enlighten me further. Thanking you.

Your servant,
Sushant

Answer: The Time is There; Simply You Must Utilize It.

The time is there; simply you must utilize it. While we easily find so much time to check out the latest depressing news of the mundane world, we yet find it difficult to find the time to check out the most wonderful news of the spiritual world. There is much time to read Srila Prabhupada's books. It is simply a matter of properly setting our priorities. This can easily done on the principle of "drops of water wear away the stone." Whenever you have a spare moment immediately pick up one of Prabhupada's books and read a paragraph or a page. Keep a marker in the book so that you can see where you left off. If you are dedicated to this, you can easily read all of Srila Prabhupada's books in due course of time, and Lord Sri Krishna will bless you with so many transcendental realizations, which will become practically manifested in your thoughts, words, and deeds for your deliverance from the cycle of repeated birth and death.

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 ...
