Be a Spiritual Revolutionary?

Are you disgusted with the world situation? Are you heartbroken that 50 million innocent children are being murdered every year in the abortion clinics and that ten billion animals are slaughtered for food every year? Does it bother you that the entire human civilization is engaged in such grossly sinful activities that practically everyone is going down to the animal kingdom in their next birth? Do you find it to be disconcerting that people are being forced unnecessarily to work so hard and for such long hours that there is hardly any time left for them to cultivate spiritual awakening? If your answer is "yes" to any of the above questions, then you, my dear reader, are not meant to be an ordinary worker. You are instead meant to become a spiritual revolutionary fully dedicated to bringing a new God-centered paradigm to this beleaguered world. If you are ready for this, we will train you how. That's what we're here for.

Question: Simultaneously Humble and Confident?

When devotees use words out of humility like "I'm so fallen", "I'm a mleccha", "I'm a fool", where does the question of self confidence come into play?

Answer: Confident in Krishna's Inconceivable Potency

Christ said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” This is a fact. The more you become humble, the more you become empowered by Lord Sri Krishna to perform Herculean tasks. This is proven by analyzing the histories of the great saints throughout history. In other words instead of proudly thinking that you are the doer and accomplishing a few puny things, you allow yourself to instead be an instrument through which Lord Krishna can accomplish the most incredibly amazing things like defeating millions of enemies on the battlefield of Kurukshetra or building a bridge across the India Ocean to Sri Lanka.

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 ...
