Krishnize the Universe Now!

Lord Caitanya has over 500 years ago in 1486 blessed our universe with his causeless mercy in the form of the Caitanya Era, the most auspicious dawning of a new age of peace and happiness for all living beings. Because this most auspicious era is now existing in a seedlike form it is our duty to cultivate that seed very nicely so that it grows into a full blown plant that completely engulfs the entire world. Krishna Das Kaviraja has confirmed that the whole world will indeed become Krishna consciousness. So now let us fully dedicate our lives for making this happen as soon possible!

Question: Meaning of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra

Hare Krishna!

I've been told by senior devotees that literal meaning of the Hare Krishna mahamantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare) is:

"O Lord, O Energy of the Lord, please engage me in Your service."

Could you kindly explain grammatically how only three words "Hare," "Krishna," and "Rama" can mean such a structured sentence? I think, if I understood the mantra grammatically smaybe chanting it would help me communicate with Krishna.

Kind regards,

Answer: Begging for Pure Devotional Service

“Hare" is the energy of the Lord and “Krishna" and “Rama" are the names of the Lord. To attain the perfectional stage of pure love of God we must chant these names in the mood of begging Lord Krishna and His energy (Srimati Radharani) to be purely engaged in their devotional service. Therefore the definition you have been given by the devotees is perfect for guiding you how to chant in proper mood.

Even in this material world a boy in love may say the name of his girlfriend in a soft, tender mood conveying the meaning "I love you," simply by uttering his girlfriend's name without having to utter the words, "I love you." So how much more can depths of meaning be possible on the spiritual platform? Try to intelligently understand this point and train yourself to utter theses sweet holy names in a mood of total surrender. This will have an amazing effect on your consciousness.

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 ...
