Dear Lord Krishna, Please Empower Us to Deliver the World

Dear Lord Krishna, our most beloved spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, has given us the order, "Become guru and deliver the whole world." In this regard we can objectively analyze that we are most unqualified and incompetent to be able to successfully carry out such an inconceivably sublime order. So what we can do? Even though we are absolutely obliged to do this, it is completely impossible for us to do this. So just as the little sparrow was able to force the ocean to return her stolen eggs with the help of Garuda, we are begging you, our most beloved Lord Sri Krishna, to empower us to accomplish the impossible. We are begging you to bless us that we can truly become gurus and that as soon as possible we can make the entire world Krishna conscious because it is only in this way that the people here can become happy.

Appeal: Help Needed to Concentrate on My Service

Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my most humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

I have been sad. This world is a mess. I have so much service to do: the Jala Yatra festival and many things. But I can not concentrate. I have so many thoughts in my mind, and I feel without help. I feel anxiety. I need something to help me concentrate on my service..

Your eternal servant.

Answer: May Krishna Give You His Special Mercy

From: While Crossing the Atlantic Ocean

My Dear Daughter Draupadi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I am also very sad that the world is a mess. This is why I have fully dedicated my life for making a spiritual revolution on this planet. I made this decision when I was 21 years old. Now I am 69, the same age that Srila Prabhupada was when he departed India for America. For the last 48 years I have unflinchingly dedicated myself to this world deliverance mission. Somehow or other, out of His infinite kindness, Lord Sri Krishna has blessed me with spiritual sons and daughters like you to assist me in this world deliverance mission.

I understand that you are going through hell. Great spiritual reformers often have to face hellish, nightmarish situations while they serve the Lord’s mission in this world. The more they tolerate difficulties in the Lord’s service, they more they become appreciated and admired by the Lord. So kindly take consolation that you are not alone in your struggle. All these great saints are seeing you and blessing you as you continue in your struggle to establish religion in this place where irreligion is predominant.

I know that you are going through difficulty preaching there in Mexico, where all the people are going crazy after material sense gratification and whatever religion they practice is only for the purpose of increasing their material sense gratification. Therefore I am praying to Lord Sri Krishna that He may give you His special mercy that you can always remain jolly and fully absorbed in remembering and serving Him in spite of whatever external difficulties you may be facing.

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

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation?
