Two Million Miler for Krishna

Our mission is to bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to the entire human civilization by making the whole world Krishna conscious as soon as possible. For this purpose for many, many years now we have been circling the globe trying to do our best to awaken everyone to their factual spiritual identities as the eternal servants of Krishna. We have been traveling so much that American Airlines has now given me the status of "Two Million Miler" since I have now flown over two million miles. We are greatly encouraged in our world deliverance mission because Srila Prabhupada explains in his purport of Bhagavad-gita 14.7 that even if the majority of the people are not Krishna conscious, if only a percentage of the population develops Krishna consciousness, then there can be peace and prosperity all over the world. This is good news indeed because even if we can make only a small percentage of the world population Krishna conscious, this can potentially completely revolutionize human history sparking off the greatest paradigm shift the world has ever known. Therefore we will continue traveling and preaching all over the world as long as long as our aging 70 years old bodies can tolerate the rigors of traveling.

Question: Beneficial to Remember Time in Hell?​​​​​​​

It is a well known fact that if we do good deeds, we acquire punya (pious results). And if we do bad deeds, we acquire papa (sinful results). After death, we can be either sent to naraka (hell) to get punished for our papa or sent to svarga (heaven) to enjoy the fruits of our punya. But after that we are sent back to earth again and again until the said soul attains moksha (liberation) and attains Vaikuntha (the spiritual world). Here we truly enjoy.
My question is that if we were to remember the pains and punishments from our previous visits to naraka, wouldn't it be a guideline for us to learn from our previous experiences in naraka so that it would be easier for us to never fall prey to the temptations of sin and thereby work towards attaining moksha . Looking forward to your enlightening response.

Your servant,
Avinash G.

Answer: Debilitating Post Trauma Stress Disorder

The memories of our time in hell would be so traumatic that we would not be able to do anything peacefully. In other words, we would be suffering from a most severe, debilitating case of post trauma stress disorder that would make us totally dysfunctional. Therefore Krishna has kindly given us forgetfulness of that extremely nightmarish hellish existence so that we can peacefully chant His holy names and revive our dormant love for Him.

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 ...
