When Will the World Recognize It Leaders?

The whole world is waiting for a leader who can bring peace, prosperity, and happiness to the entire global society, a leader who is completely free of any kind of cheating exploitative mentality, a leader who has no desire in his heart other than the welfare of living beings. That leader has already come. But the problem is that people are so blind that they do not recognize him. That leader is His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Even though Srila Prabhupada has departed from this world, he is being purely represented by those who are strictly following him. This makes his loyal followers the factual current leaders on this planet. We pray that the world will wake up and take full guidance from the Prabhupadanugas, those who are strictly following the path chalked out by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada.

Testimonial from Trivikram Das

"Thought for the Day" by His Grace Sankarshan Das Adhikari is truly an inspiring and guiding light in my life. Initially, I subscribed to the "Thought for the Day" in a very casual manner. Little did I know that these thoughts which are nothing but 'Nectar drops' would change my life forever. This email is a beacon of light for me. The content is like containing a mind of its own whereby it exactly points to the problems that I am facing and thinking about and gives me the solution to those.

These emails have not only solved my various problems of life, but also have enriched my life that it is not filled with only happiness. I am very much influenced by Sankarshan Prabhu's thoughts and words so much so that I have not only started following him, but also accepted him as my spiritual master.

I would strongly recommend anyone and everyone to subscribe to these letters. One has only to gain immensely from this and nothing to lose. I invite everyone to join and experiment reading these thoughts.

yours sincerely,

Trivikram Das

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version:

Question: What Is a Brahmacari?

My dear Srila Gurudeva and Guru Mataji.
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada!

What is brahmacari?

My understanding of what it means to be a brahmacari:

It is student position. You should get training spiritual and material, practical and theoretical. Traditionally for 20 years. After 20 years you are qualified to start a family and maintain it from training what you got. Otherwise to remain brahmacari and then you start to prepare for sannyasa.

What changes in brahmacari`s life from before finishing 20 years course of training and after 20 years? Please correct my understanding if needed.

Your eternal servant,
V.K.

Answer: Celibate Student Totally Dedicated to His Guru

A brahmacari is a celibate student who has no other duty except to serve his spiritual master.

A brahmacari has three options for his future. He can get married. He can take sannyasa. Or he can stay brahmacari. But these are only external considerations. His is only real business is to be a completely sold out servant of his spiritual master. All he has to do is focus 100% on this and then Krishna will take care of everything else positioning him always in the best circumstances for his steady spiritual progress.

After 20 years of properly accepted brahmacari training the brahmacari will have learned how to totally focus his consciousness on always pleasing his spiritual master with his every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances. The only difference between before 20 years and after 20 years of training is that the brahmacari will be more Krishna conscious.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
