Injecting Consciousness into the Dull Brains of the Present Day Materialistic Society

George Harrison accomplished something really wonderful when he popularized Krishna consciousness through his number one hit sing, "My Sweet Lord." Since I was a popular singer/songwriter before becoming a devotee of Krishna I thought to also try spreading Krishna consciousness throught the medium of popular music. My album "Our Sweet Lord," which can be heard at www.TurnOnTheWorld.com, is gaining popularity in the material world. For example, radio station KMNR now rates my "Our Sweet Lord" album as one of their top ten albums this week. You can see it listed this week at: https://kmnr.org/charts/

My songs have also gotten airplay on the following radio stations:
1. WESS in East Stroudsberg, Pennsylvania
2. WRRG in River Grove, Illinois
3. WCSF in Joliet, Illinois.
4. Radio Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona
5. WRIR in Richmond, Virginia
6. WIDR in Kalamazoo, Michigan
7. KRUX in Las Cruces, New Mexico
8. NVWR in Reno, Nevada
9. KRUA in Anchorage, Alaska
10. WARY in Valhalla, New York
11. CHMR in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada
12. WRFL n Lexingont, Kentucky
13. WSND in Notre Dame, Indiana
14. WVAU in Washington, DC
15. KRUI in Iowa City, Iowa
16. WCNI in New London, Connecticut
17. WSKR in Jacksonville, Florida
18. WRST in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
19. WFHU in Henderson, Tennessee

Srila Prabhupada has written the following words in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1, Chapter 5, Text 16:

"The expert devotees also can discover novel ways and means to convert the nondevotees in terms of particular time and circumstance. Devotional service is dynamic activity, and the expert devotees can find out competent means to inject it into the dull brains of the materialistic population. Such transcendental activities of the devotees for the service of the Lord can bring a new order of life to the foolish society of materialistic men. Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His subsequent followers exhibited expert dexterity in this connection. By following the same method, one can bring the materialistic men of this age of quarrel into order for peaceful life and transcendental realization."

Although I certainly do not consider myself to be an expert devotee, I am praying that somehow by the grace of guru and Krishna that I can be successful in injecting Krishna consciousness into the dull brains of the present day materialistic society.

Answers According to Vedic Knowledge

Question: Proof that Krishna is the Supreme?

​​​​​​​While preaching we face lots of questions like all Upanishads glorify their god as the supreme. Where in the Vedas do we find that Krishna is the Supreme and others are His subordinates? Please give some quotes. It will help to convince both myself and others.

Please do not give quotes of the Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam, Brahma-samhita, or any sattvic Upanishads.

Answer: The Proof of the Pudding Is In the Eating

If you cannot accept as authoritative the words of God Himself when He speaks, you are hopelessly lost. If God Himself is not an authoritative source of information, who can we trust? The proof of the Gita is that by following it, you will realize God, just as innumerable saints and sages have done throughout the ages.

If you don’t believe it, I challenge you to try it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

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
