Embracing the World Deliverance Mission

Krishna's devotee tolerated seeing a a world completely entangled in darkness. Therefore he fully dedicates his life for making the world Krishna conscious. Even if he is not successful his spiritual perfection is assured and anyone who follows him will also become perfect. What could be more sublime than this?

Question: How to Overcome Challenges?

Dear Gurudeva,

Hare Krishna!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Please accept my humble obeisance.

Hoping and praying for your good health. Thank you for your kind guidance through your daily mails and videos.

In one of the lectures here, I heard that the mother's womb is one of the filthiest place on earth, which is filled with urine, stool, bile, phlegm and other impurities. I was unable to digest the fact that a place where a life is created can be as filthiest as described. Is there any mention about this in our scriptures and do the modern day medical science agree to this?

Hari bol,
Your insignificant servant,
Lal Mohan

Answer: Focus on Pure Devotional Service

From: ISKCON Pune, India

My Dear Lal,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Kindly note that life is not created in the womb. All life is coming from the pure transcendental body of Krishna. It is the only the material body that comes into being in the mother's womb.

In this connection Srila Prabhupada writes as follows in his book The Nectar of Devotion:

A fortunate child in the womb of his mother prayed to Krishna as follows: "O enemy of Kamsa, I am suffering so much because of this material body. Now I am trapped within a mess of blood, urine and liquid stool, within the womb of my mother. Because I am living in such a condition, I am suffering great pangs. Therefore, O divine ocean of mercy, please be kind to me. I have no ability to engage in Your loving devotional service, but please save me!"

Whether modern day science agrees or not we accept the statements of scripture as fact. Modern day science is constantly changing its view because it is speculative, not authoritative.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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.
