​​​​​​​​​​​​​What the World Needs Now is a World Religion

What the world needs now more than ever before is one religion which includes within it all religions, to unify the entire human society for bringing peace, prosperity, and happiness to absolutely everyone in every part of the world. There is a great burning need now for such a world religion to exist. The good news is that there is already such a genuine world religion, Krishna consciousness, which can in fact bring unity, peace, and prosperity to every town, village, and hamlet on this planet and indeed throughout this entire universe and throughout the multi-universes which constitute the entire material world. We are all children of the same original father who has unlimited names, unlimited qualities, and unlimited activities. By reviving our lost loving relationships with that Supreme Father our lives will become perfect, and this world will become paradisal. This is the basic principle of Krishna consciousness.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Conquer the Mind?

Respected Guru,

May I ask you questions regarding to Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 2, Text 15 as follows?

"O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation."

The Supreme Lord Krishna is advising Arjuna to be steady / stable minded when it comes to face happiness or distress, bad or comfortable experiences on the path of life.

Is it possible for a common man who is devotee of Lord and not as perfect in mind and self control as a person in the renounced order of life to be stable minded in such cases?

Lord Buddha also taught us that the person who has conquered his mind is the real victorious person in life. But how to balance and conquer the mind in such situations?

Kindly forgive my asking long questions and free me from my ignorance in this regard. Thank you for giving us valuable gems of divine knowledge,

My prayers to the Lord for you to be in good health and for the success of your mission to make world peaceful forever.

Hope that with the Lord's grace you are in good health.
Humbly,
Ramesh Raman

Answer: See Everything as the Special Mercy of Krishna

From: Solferino, Mauritius

My Dear Ramesh Raman,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Your questions are very nice. Thank you for making such sincere inquiries.

Arjuna was not in the renounced order of life. He was a family man. But yet these instructions from Krishna were perfect for him. It is very simple to develop steadiness of mind. Simply train yourself to see everything as the special mercy of Krishna to help you become more and more surrendered to Him. In this way, if you will always keep this in mind, you will always be perfectly peaceful and happy in all situations of so-called happiness and distress.

Thank you very much for your well-wishes in regards to our preaching mission. I am eternally indebted to you for praying to Krishna for my success in my endeavor to make the whole world peaceful by enlightening the people in the science of Krishna consciousness.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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
