The World Religion

On 4 January 1972, when he was in Bombay, India, Srila Prabhupada wrote as follows to his disciple Krishna Bhamini devi dasi:

"If we introduce these books in all the bookstores, schools, colleges, libraries and everyone's home our religion will be the only religion in the world very soon. This prediction has been made publicly here in one newspaper, by a Japanese philosopher, that within ten years Krishna Consciousness will be the world religion. If you all keep preaching in such a pure way this will undoubtedly prove true."

Although it did not happen that by 1982 Krishna became the world religion, it is still possible that we can make Krishna consciousness the world religion. This can be accomplished if we purely follow Srila Prabhupada, purely preach his mission, and introduce his books everywhere. So let's do it. Let us now work co-operatively and bring the entire society to the platform of the world religion.

Take this Human Form of Life Very Seriously

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Why Try to Make the World Krishna Conscious?

Namaste,

The teachings of Sri Prabhupada are very profound and enlightening. But why the urge to change entire world to Krishna consciousness? Many people are already following God in other names like Shiva, Jesus, Allah and all religions want the entire world to follow their path. Because of this we see so many conflicts.

I don't think a day will come when entire world will follow one religion.

Can I use a neutral name like God or use the mantra we are using in our home "om namah shivaya" instead of Krishna and get same results?

Answer: So That People Will Be Happy​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Shivanand,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

There is already only one religion: to surrender to that Supreme Person with unlimited names (Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Rama, etc.) who is the source of all existence. This one religion can be called Krishna consciousness, Allah consciousness, Jehovah consciousness, etc. The more that the world population can embrace this one religion, the more the whole world will be peaceful and happy. Therefore out of compassion on the suffering souls of this world, those who are saintly dedicate their lives for awakening the entire human society to this one religion.

Kindly note that Shiva and Jesus are not names for the Supreme Person. Lord Shiva and Lord Jesus are both pure devotees of that Supreme Person. We worship them, not as God, but as pure devotees of Krishna or God.

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
