May the Whole World Soon Be Awakened

Our every day is dedicated to awakening pure love of God within our hearts and for sparking off a global spiritual revolution for bringing the human society back to their constitutional position as the eternal servants of Lord Sri Krishna. What could be a more blissful and enlightening lifestyle than this? We pity the poor fools who have not awakened their dormant Krishna consciousness, and thus we diligently strive every day to awaken them. May that day come soon. May that day come soon. Lord Sri Krishna, please bless us that that day may come very soon when the whole world becomes Krishna conscious!

The Blessing of Distress

Problem: I Cannot Focus on My Career

Hare Krishna.
I read the Bhagavad-gita; I chant japa; I take prasadam; and I listen to Krishna conscious lectures. But I am not able to focus on my career and am confused about what to do. I feel that this world is simply a place of suffering and therefore I cannot concentrate on my japa. Also I cannot sleep at night. Please help me to concentrate on japa, Krishna lila, Bhagavad-gita, and Srimad Bhagavatam. I am unable to cross this ocean of unlimited sufferings here in this material world.

Thanks,
Hare Krishna
Your servant,
Aditya

Answer: Offer It to Krishna

You have very nicely realized that this place where we live now is simply a world of suffering. Your realization is correct as confirmed by Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita. But by taking to Krishna consciousness you are liberated from this world of suffering and empowered to liberate others also. Thus there is no cause for lamentation. Rather it is a cause for great celebration.

Regarding your career, Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita that whatever you do you should do it for Him. So if you offer your career to Krishna by engaging your earnings as far as possible in His service, you career activities will nicely become another part of your devotional activities. In this way you will become supremely happy even while you are at work.

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
