Inspired Listener

I was so much encouraged by the following words of appreciation from a women named Laya Lavender, who heard my songs on my music website, (www.TurnOnTheWorld.com) that I wanted to share what she wrote with all of you. Here's what she said:

I pray that this greets you in health and bliss. I came across your music online and it felt like some divine providence ---that I was meant to hear it. Your songs have a simple delightfulness. Upon listening additional times--a true potency is discovered. Yes! Peace is possible and worthy of pursuing. Your music is the sweet soundtrack of looking inward,loving outward and humanity progressing forward and upward. So beautiful.
Your vocals have the warmth and sincerity of a home-coming. Your lyrics resonates as ocean deep.

Laya Lavender

Thanks to Laya for her encouraging words. Our mission is to somehow or other attract the whole world to Krishna consciousness. We are begging Sri Sri Radha and Krishna that we can be successful in our mission.

Revolutionize Yourself, Revolutionize the World

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Change the World?

Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

A local hippie artist asked this question:

"Let's just assume that we're supposed to make this world better than we found it. What's the best way to go about that?"

Sincerely,
Joe

Answer: Be the Revolution You Want to Make

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Joe,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

His question is very nice.

Our first business is to save ourselves. Those of us here in this material world are here because we were against the supremacy of God. Our desire was that we should be God rather than someone else being God. The fact of the matter is that we are not God. Our real position is that we are all the servants of God. When we acknowledge this and embrace the mood of devotion to God doing everything for His pleasure, our lives completely change and our hearts become full with unlimited bliss. Once we have transformed ourselves we become empowered by the grace of God to make a spiritual revolution on this planet for bringing everyone back to their original pure state of having a loving relationship with God. In other words, be the revolution you want to make.

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
