It's Time for a Spiritual Revolution

I am completely disgusted with the present day world situation. The modern day world leaders are totally blind and thus incompetent for properly guiding the human society. By the grace of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and my most beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, I have been blessed with the formula how the entire world can live in perfect peace and happiness. Therefore I want to make a revolution, a spiritual revolution, on this planet by teaching everyone this formula. But the difficulty is that because everyone is under the grip of these rascal non-leaders, practically no one wants to hear our message. This is the dilemma.

Question: Can I Desire to Make Money?

I am connected to Krishna conscious movement for almost 7 years and my devotion towards Krishna has only increase by his own mercy. As I am student I still have desire to complete my education and get a good job and earn well but just so that I can survive in this material world. I chant 4 - 6 rounds everyday and listen to your lecture and also read lot of Prabhupada's books. But this desire to earn money does not go. I follow the four principles.
Please let me know if this is ok or I have to not wish for anything apart from Krishna's bhakti.

Thanks
Your servant,

Shubham

Answer: If You Will Spend It for Krishna

If you want to be a married man, it is your duty to earn an honest living to support a Krishna conscious lifestyle for your family and to also support the Krishna consciousness movement. Therefore it is proper for you to get a good education for earning an honest livelihood. Thus your desire can be perfectly dovetailed in the service of Krishna, if you spend your income properly in Krishna's service.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
