We Can Solve All the World's Problems

As evidenced by the recent terror attach in Brussels, the world situation is deteriorating more and more, becoming ever-increasingly more hellish and chaotic. But it does not have to be this way. There is indeed a positive alternative for all of this madness. We can solve all the world's problems if the world's leaders will only agree to hear from us, take instructions from us, and carefully and sincerely follow our instructions. But the difficulty is that they are way too proud of themselves thinking that they are very great in spite of their total disqualifications to properly guide the human society. So we will continue with our duty as spiritual teachers by continuing to present our books and teachings as much as possible to everyone that we meet with the hope that somehow someday the entire world will heed and follow the most sublime teachings of Lord Caitanya. When that day comes it will mark the beginning of the most sublime unprecedented era of peace and happiness that the world has ever known.

Question: How to Become More Personal With Krishna?

Dear Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
May the dust of your lotus feet be always on my head.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I feel that my relationship with Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is incomplete. I meditate on Him as my Lord and best friend, but usually I don't feel Him to be close. He is rather like my imagination friend. I don't talk to Him much. I don't hear His voice. But I believe He watches me and guides me in my life. Also I believe He speaks to me through your lips and in the Bhagavad-gita.

So, how to become more personal with Krishna?

With love,
Kaspars

Answer: Obedience

Your question is very nice. Thank you for asking such a nice question.

Becoming more personal with Krishna means to feel His presence more and more how He is coming closer and closer to you until that supremely wonderful and most sublime moment when you finally meet Him face to face, eye to eye. This ever-increasing closeness comes naturally for one who is trying his level best to be fully obedient to every instruction of Guru and Krishna in all times, places, and circumstances. In one word the simple, direct answer to your question is: obedience.

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 ...
