Question: How to Serve the Mission While in Married Life?

How does one practically dedicate one's life to this mission? Considering that grihastha life (married life) is so time consuming, what practical activities can one do each day to spread Krishna consciousness?

Thank you so much

Answer: Remember Krishna and Share Him with the World

The first step you need to take for doing your duty to make the world Krishna conscious is to become properly situated in Krishna consciousness yourself. You need to be chanting at least 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna mahamantra every day on japa mala beads, avoiding sinful activities (illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling), eating only Krishna prasadam, and regularly reading Srila Prabhupada’s books. You should accept formal initiation, should be an active participant in the activities of your nearest ISKCON temple as much as possible, and should take every opportunity you have to tell other people about the liberating process of Krishna consciousness. In your ordinary daily dealings there are so many opportunities to remind others about Krishna or to introduce them to Krishna.

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
