An Appeal to All Human Beings

Today we are chanting Hare Krishna in the Islamic world, in Shah Alam, Malaysia. As I gaze out from my window I see the Muslim mosque, which I have photographed and posted below. While Malaysia is to some extent tolerant of other what people perceive as different religions, other parts of the Muslim world are not. It's most amazing, saddening, and sickening how in the name in religion, that which is supposed to make one a perfect sinless person, so many sinful atrocities are being committed every day in so many parts of the world. Therefore our mission is to bring all religious people of the world to the common understanding that religion is one because God is one, even though He is known by different names in the different languages of the world.

Do different names make the same thing different? Not at all. Water is the same thing all over the world. Everyone drinks it. But in English it is called "water." In French it is known as "eau." Spaniards call it "agua." And Germans drink their fair share of wasser every day. Do we can fight and kill each other over what water should be called? No. We just drink our water every day.

So why should God any different? Since God is unlimited, He must have unlimited names. How can we limit Him to only name according to our particular language? This is not a very intelligent or sanguine idea.

Therefore, O people of the world, awaken to your true spiritual nature which is beyond all designations of Christian, Hindu, Muslim, etc. Realize now that you are all simply the servants of the one God, who although one has unlimited names

Question: How Can I Concentrate My Mind?

Most respected Gurudeva,

I have a very upset mind. I try hard to concentrate, but I cannot do it. How can I concentrate my mind?

S.K.

Answer: Chant Hare Krishna With Great Care and Attention

Chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra with great care and attention at least 16 rounds a day while also strictly avoiding illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling. If you sincerely follow these instructions every day without fail, in due course of time your mind will become completely conquered by the awakening of pure love for that amazingly all-beautiful, all-powerful, all-renounced, all-knowing, all-famous, and all-wealthy, unlimitedly loving person named Krishna who is situated eternally within you heart.

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
