It's Time for the World to Wake Up

The entire human civilization is currently sleeping deep in the depths of ignorance completely enwrapped in maya or illusion. Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur has wonderfully revealed to us how Lord Caitanya is mercifully trying to rescue the suffering humanity in his song called Arunodaya-kirtana II:

jīv jāgo, jīv jāgo, gauracānda bole
kota nidrā jāo māyā-piśācīra kole

"Lord Gauranga is calling, 'Wake up, sleeping souls! Wake up, sleeping souls! How long will you sleep in the lap of the witch called Maya?'"

The world needs to now heed the call of Lord Caitanya and come out of its present most pitiable condition.

Answers by Citing the Vedic Version

Question: Will Krishna Appear to Annihilate the Demons?

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudeva,

In the present age of Kali, we see chaos and trouble at the every part of the world. Demonic forces are on the rise. Pious people are on back foot. Should we hope that to annihilate the miscreants Lord Krishna will appear as He promised in the Bhagavad-gita? He has stated there, "To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I myself appear, millennium after millennium."

If answer is 'yes', then, when He will appear?

Your servant,

Abhiram

Answer: He Has Appeared to Annihilate Their Demoniac Mentality

Since the entire world is now demoniac, if Krishna were to kill all the demons at present, He would have to kill everyone. Therefore instead He has compassionately appeared in this age as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, not to annihilate the demons, but to instead annihilate their demoniac by chanting Hare Krishna and empowering His devotees to spread the chanting of the Hare Krishna mantra all over the world.

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
