The Whole World is Waiting

On 7 January 1973 in Mumbai, India Srila Prabhupada explained that the whole world is waiting to become Krishna consciousness. So since they are all waiting to become awakened to Krishna consciousness, what are we waiting for? We must now fully embrace our duty of giving them what they are actually hankering for in the innermost cores of their hearts. They will be eternally grateful to us for awakening them, and our lives will become unlimitedly glorious. What could be more wonderful than this?

Answers According to Vedic Knowledge

Question: Will I Not Be Able to Become a Devotee?

​​​​​​​Dear Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances onto your lotus feet

O my most respected and dear Gurudeva, please tell me that, I have heard many times in Srimad Bhagavatam the glories of devotees and pure devotees of our dear Lord Krishna and how in every point, and in every aspect of their life Krishna personally took charge of them and helped them back to him!
​​​​​​​
But I think I am not and neither can become His devotee as I have many many bad qualities in me. I have grown up having meat, fish, etc and not chanting from childhood. My mind goes here and there while chanting. I cannot remember Krishna every time. Does this means that I cannot become His devotee? Does this mean that Krishna will not help me?

Please shower your blessings upon me. Your shelter is all that I seek. I need your special blessings to progress in Krishna consciousness. Please, Srila Gurudeva, bless me so I can progress and get initiation as soon as possible!

Your servant!

Answer: By Lord Caitanya's Mercy We'll Be Saved

Caitanya Mahaprabhu is patita-pavana, the friend of the fallen. He is Krishna Himself in His most merciful manifestation. He appeared as an incarnation just to deliver all fallen souls like us and directly bestow upon us love of Godhead. We must therefore take full advantage of this great benediction of the great Personality of Godhead by always remembering Him and begging for His mercy. If we do so, we will be saved from our fallen position and will become fully immersed in pure love of God.

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
