Make the Whole World Krishna Conscious

Our mission is to make the whole world Krishna conscious as soon as possible. This is the duty given to us by ISKCON Founder-Acarya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In this regard Srila Prabhupada told us in a lecture he gave in Mayapur, India on 1 April 1975, "If you can propagate Krishna consciousness constantly, then, by spreading this Krsna consciousness movement, you can make the whole world Krishna conscious, and then it will be Vaikuntha." Vaikuntha means a world which is completely free from all anxiety. Therefore let us now take advantage of this most merciful guidance of Srila Prabhupada and absorb ourselves constantly in spreading the Krishna consciousness movement. In this way the entire world will become delivered from ignorance and misery. Everyone in the world will become completely, totally happy.

Anila Charan Das

Answer: Possessor of All Opulences

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Anila Charan,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

“The Supreme Personality of Godhead” is the English translation of the Sanskrit word “Bhagavan”, which means “he who is full in all opulences.” The opulences are power, beauty, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. One who infinitely possesses all six of these opulences is Bhagavan. Therefore according to this definition we can understand that Lord Sri Krishna is the original Bhagavan, the original Supreme Personality of Godhead because He possesses more power, more beauty, more renunciation, more knowledge, more wealth, and more fame than anyone else in all of existence, even more so than everyone else all combined because He is the original source of all these opulences.

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
