A New Enlightened Era on this Planet

Why am I spending so much energy for the last fifteen years nonstop writing Thought for the Day every day? I am doing this because I cannot tolerate the present day world situation. Our leaders have created a royal mess which cannot be properly called a civilization. What is civil about it? It is like a billboard I used to see on the highway every time I drove from San Diego to Los Angeles which stated, "It's a jungle out there." So what can we do to change it? Is these any hope at all for saving the world from its current destruction course which it is so solidly locked into? Yes, there is hope. That hope comes from the Srimad Bhagavatam in a wonderful verse that was composed over 5,000 years ago:

tad-vāg-visargo janatāgha-viplavo
yasmin prati-ślokam abaddhavaty api
nāmāny anantasya yaśo 'ṅkitāni yat
śṛṇvanti gāyanti gṛṇanti sādhavaḥ

"That literature which is full of descriptions of the transcendental glories of the name, fame, forms, pastimes, etc., of the unlimited Supreme Lord is a different creation, full of transcendental words directed toward bringing about a revolution in the impious lives of this world's misdirected civilization. Such transcendental literatures, even though imperfectly composed, are heard, sung and accepted by purified men who are thoroughly honest."--SB 1.5.11

So now all we do to is widely propagate the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavad as much as possible in as many ways as possible to as many people as possible all over the world. By doing this gradually as the world population will get and understand this message and there will be the dawning of a new, beautiful, spiritually enlightened era on this planet.

Question: How to Get Motivated to Study Medical Books?

​​​​​​​Hare Krishna!
I'm a medical student, Srila Gurudeva, and I find it hard to gather motivation to study the medical books. How should I go about it?

​​​​​​​Bhargavi

Answer: Offer This In Krishna's Service

Even though we have only one duty in life, to fully surrender to Krishna under the expert guidance of the bona fide spiritual master, still in order to keep body and soul together we require some means of livelihood. So according to one's nature one should choose a suitable livelihood and execute it nicely so that one can simultaneously even more importantly
focus his mind, words, and actions on serving Krishna. In other words one accepts a means of livelihood to facilitate fully giving his life to Krishna.

Therefore since you have chosen a medical career, for the service of Krishna you should execute your study duties very nicely so you can be well situated materially to facilitate your fully absorbing your life in Krishna’s service.

Is this clear?

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
