Krishnizing the Entire Universe

In ancient times there was a powerful demon named Hiranyakasipu, who by tint of his severe austerities became so powerful that he was able to terrorize the entire universe bringing everyone in the universe under his despotic rule, even the powerful demigods. Only Lord Vishnu, Lord Shiva, and Lord Brahma were not under his influence. Finally, the universe was freed from the control of this tyrant when Lord Nrsimhadeva killed him. At the present moment the entire global civilization is being tortured by the misrule of unenlightened fools. Therefore out of the compassion for the suffering souls of this age the Lord's devotee desires to flood the entire universe with Krishna consciousness. Instead of terrorizing the entire universe like Hiranyakasipu, he desires to Krishnize the entire universe so that everyone can be happy.

Question: Worshipping Krishna is the Best?

Gurudeva, accept my humble obeisances,

From watching Indian films in the TV shows , every family worship their own particular god or demigod. Certain family worship the deity of Sri Krishna, or Sri Rama and the others worship the deity of Ganesh , or Siva, and so on. I have some questions as follows:

1. According to Bhagavad Gita, I think we should worship the Supreme Personal God i.e. Lord Sri Krishna rather than gods and demigods. Am I right?
2. It seems to me that in India many people still do not worship Sri Krishna as prescribed in Bhagavad-gita. It means many Hindus in India are not followers of Krishna Consciousness Community.
3. By the way, what is the percentage of the total population in India who are the followers of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, etc.?
4. Since Hindus believe in both Personal God (Saguna Brahman) and Nirguna Brahman (Impersonal God), which one is more appropriate to worship? And how can we worship Impersonal God without a deity?
Thank you so much for your clarification.

With love.
Nyoman

Answer: The Only Viable Option

Yes, we worship only Krishna since the other gods are all subordinate to Him. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the others gods are demi-gods. Unfortunately many Hindus do not realize this and waste their energy worshipping other gods as the Supreme.

In India 80% are Hindus, 14% are Muslims, 2% are Christians, 2% are Sikhs, 1% are Buddhists,
Jains are 0.5%, and other groups constitute the remainder.

Worshipping Krishna, the Supreme Person, is the most perfect type of worship. Lord Sri Krishna states in Bhagavad-gita 12.2:

mayy āveśya mano ye māṁ
nitya-yuktā upāsate
śraddhayā parayopetās
te me yuktatamā matāḥ

"Those who fix their minds on My personal form and are always engaged in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith are considered by Me to be most perfect."

Worshipping the impersonal aspect of God is very troublesome and difficult. It takes millions of lifetimes to achieve perfection in this way. However, those who worship Krishna, the Supreme Person, can achieve perfection in one lifetime.

One cannot worship the impersonal, unmanifested because in that conception of God there is nothing there to worship.

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
