Peace Formula Video Exceeds 10,000 Views

The Peace Formula video, which I posted only one week ago onwww.YouTube.com, has already exceeded 10,000 views. In fact as I am getting ready to post Thought for the Day it has reached 11,667 views. This is very encouraging because this video is presenting Krishna's formula for world peace as given in Bhagavad-gita 5.29. Our next goal is to reach 100,000 views. From there we want to go to 1 million, ten million, with the ultimate goal of at least one billion. The more that the world becomes aware of Krishna's peace formula, the more the world will change. So I am requesting you all to do everything you can to help to popularize this video.

Plea for Help: I Do Not Feel That I Am Loved

Dear Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

What is real love and relationship? My father used to say that if you do not love yourself then even God will not love you. Is it true? Is it important?
Can I love someone if I do not love myself? If I feel love for someone, how to express that love. Maybe if I love someone then I usually want to be loved myself by that person.
It seems important to feel some kind of love from Krishna's devotees. If I do not get any love, it is very difficult for me to love Krishna. I went to temple and did not stay to take prasadam food because of not feeling loved. God, I am so confused! Please help.

Answer: Knock and the Door Will Open

If you truly love yourself, you will surrender fully to Krishna because that is the only way that you can have genuine happiness. Real love for someone else means to connect them with Krishna because that is the only way that they can have genuine happiness also. God's love for you is unconditional. He always loves you unlimitedly no matter what. Krishna's devotees also love you, more than you can understand. In order to feel that love you must first give your love to them. If you want the door of love to open, it is you who must first knock. If you are standing outside someone's door waiting for them to let you in, you must first knock on the door. Don't expect someone to open the door to let you in, if you do not knock or ring the door bell.

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

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races.
