Turn the Tide of the Times

The tide of Kali has swept in and is drowning the whole in senseless hedonism, godlessness, and self-indulging so-called religion. In spite of the repeated attempts of the leaders to rectify the situation, due to their pathetic ineptness, the chaos continues its downward spiral, escalating more and more, leaving the world population ever more confused and frustrated. What is needed now more than ever is a powerful spiritual revolution to turn the tide of the times away from this insanity back to the original pure happy harmonious loving culture that once thrived on this planet. By the combined mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada that spiritual revolution is now happening all over the world, in the form of the Krishna consciousness movement. All thoughtful and intelligent people should now wholeheartedly join this movement so that through a tight knit global co-operative network we can successfully turn the tide of the times.

Question: Meditate on Lord's Four-Armed or Two-Armed Form?

Respected Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

When one thinks of the Lord within our hearts, as per Krishna's instruction in Bhagavad-gita 18.61, should one meditate on one of the many four-armed Vishnu forms of the Lord or should one meditate on the be Lord's original two-armed Krishna forms?

Answer: Two-Armed Syamasundara

Srila Prabhupada has answered your question as follows in his purport to Bhagavad-gita 11.55:

"There are hundreds and thousands of Vishnus, but for a devotee no form of Krishna is important but the original form, two-handed Syamasundara. In the Brahma-samhita it is stated that those who are attached to the Syamasundara form of Krishna in love and devotion can see Him always within the heart and cannot see anything else."

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
