Turn On the Whole World to Krishna Consciousness

At the present moment the entire world is sound asleep in the clutches of maya or illusion and suffering greatly because of it. We were also thus soundly sleeping until by the extraordinary mercy of guru and Krishna we were blessed by having the seed of spiritual awakening planted with our hearts. Now just as we were made fortunate by the inconceivable mercy of guru and Krishna, it is our sacred duty to make the entire world fortunate by turning it on to Krishna consciousness throughout every nook and corner of today's deeply troubled planet.

Question: How to Become Free From Attraction to Women?

Please save me from Maya in the form of women.

Your servant

Answer: Become Attracted to Krishna

There is no doubt that women are attractive. But why are they so attractive? They are attractive because of the potency of Krishna. So just imagine how attractive is Krishna by whose potency millions and billions of women are very attractive. But kindly remember that the attraction of a woman is temporary. When she becomes an old withered up senior citizen she will no longer be beautiful. So why should you be so enamored by the temporary, fragmental beauty of a young attractive woman, when you can instead by enamored by the eternal, unlimited beauty of that person who is the source of all beauty? Being overwhelmed by attraction to women will not give you permanent happiness, even if you were to get the woman of your dreams as your lover. Such womanly attraction will keep you caught up in the cycle of birth and death. But being attracted to Krishna will give you unlimited happiness and liberate you from the all the pangs of material existence, including old age, disease and death. Show me any woman who can do that!

So now you can decide to whom you would like to be most attracted and focus your energies there.

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.
