Global Re-Education Initiative

Remaining in material consciousness means torturing yourself. And there is not much more to be said in the connection. Why would someone choose to experience temporality, ignorance, and misery when they could instead be tasting eternality, bliss, and knowledge? The only reason this is going on all over the world with practically the entire human population is due to miseducation. People have been trained in the wrong way. Therefore our program is to re-educate the entire human population so that everyone can experience genuine peace and happiness at every minute. Kindly fully dedicate your life for assisting us in our global re-education initiative. If you do so, this will immediately liberate you from material consciousness and situate you solidly on the transcendental platform.

Answers According to Vedic Knowledge

Question: How Envy Manifests in Spiritual World?​​​​​​​

Srila Gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and all glories to you.

How is it that a living entity blissful in the eternal pastimes of Krishna in the Goloka becomes envious and thinks of enjoying separately from Krishna and falls down into the material world? How can envy manifest in the spiritual world? Since anger, envy, greed, and lust are manifest only in material world, I am confused. Please explain.

Answer: Envy Does Not Manifest in Spiritual World

Envy does not exist in the spiritual world. Therefore if envy manifests in the heart of a living being, he is immediately in the material world because that is the only world where envy exists. This manifestation of envy is a misuse of the living being’s free will. This free will must exist because otherwise we are simply robots and we cannot truly love Krishna. Robots are only machines. They are not persons. And since free will must necessarily exist for us to be able to love Krishna, there is always the possibility, although extremely remote, that it can be misused. In those extremely rare cases when it is misused there is a system designed by Krishna to help the fallen souls realize their mistake and voluntarily return to their original position of spontaneous loving service to Him. 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
