Attracting the Whole World to Krishna

Our mission is to attract the whole world to Krishna because this will solve all the problems of the world making everyone in every corner of the world unlimitedly happy. Factually, whether they know it or not, everyone is already attracted to Krishna. It is just at the present time everyone here in this material world is manifesting their attraction by running madly after Krishna's shadow, the material energy. If someone were to offer us a delicious meal and the shadow of delicious meal, which would we prefer to accept? The choice is obvious. We would accept the delicious meal. So now through the process of education we have to guide the people how to factually experience the greatest pleasure of Krishna directly instead of His shadow, this material energy. If we are fully convinced and determined to enlighten them, we will be successful in our mission of attracting the whole world to Krishna. So now taking complete shelter of Guru and Krishna we must simply act intelligently and enthusiastically to succeed in our mission.

Please help me to understand what is self interest and what is being selfless? Please advise what is more important in devotional service, One's self interest or to be selfless?

Answer: True Self-Interest is Selflessness

I am very happy that you have now written to me. I want to guide how to attain your true self-interest, which is perfect selflessness. In other words, we attain perfection when our interest perfectly coincides with the interest of the Lord. This means that our real self-interest is to become Krishna conscious. This is attained by following Krishna’s instructions as stated in the Bhagavad-gita as it is.

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 ...
