"This Movement is in Your Hands"

Srila Prabhupada instructed as follows:

"This Krishna consciousness movement is in your hands, and it is up to you to utilize it and become the factual leaders of the world."

Therefore, although we feel and know ourselves to be most incompetent, deficient in so many ways, we are begging His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada to bless us that in spite of our ocean of faults we can successfully carry out his order to be the world's leaders. This is urgently required because our modern day highly materialistic world is suffering like anything due its lack of Krishna conscious leadership. Therefore it is our sacred responsibility to rise to the occasion by factually become the leaders in all ways of our modern day world society.

Question: How to Stop Blasphemy Against Krishna?

Sai Ram Gurudeva,

I'm a devotee of Lord Krishna from my childhood, and I get angry when someone comments badly about the Supreme Lord. These days I find many people in Facebook and Whatsapp, commenting badly about Lord Krishna and the Bhagavad-gita. I know I can not fight alone against these people, but I get anger on Lord Krishna for He is seeing all these offenses, and He is still quiet. Every day while praying him, I ask only one thing i.e to stop these people from all these offenses. Is these anything that we can do to stop all of these offenses?

Regards,
Vaisnavi Ramya

Answer: Avoid Such Bad Association

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Ramya,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

You should avoid such persons so that you do not hear their blasphemy. If you try to correct them, they will only become more blasphemous. Focus on awakening of pure Krishna bhakti within your own heart. Then as you become more and more awakened, you will become empowered to awaken others. In other words, when you become more advanced in Krishna consciousness you will become empowered to train these rascals how to stop their blasphemy and become devotees.

If you get angry at Krishna, you are also offensive. Because Krishna is the loving father of all He does not force His will upon anyone. Rather He personally comes to give good instructions, and He sends His empowered representatives, the bona fide spiritual masters, to train the people on His behalf how to become His humble devotees.

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
