I Have a Dream
I have a dream of a world:
where everybody is Krishna conscious,
where all women are honored as mothers not as sex objects,
where cows are milked but not slaughered,
where everyone wears Vaisnava tilka and all religions are cherished and adored by everyone,
where everyone joyfully chants the holy names of God according to their religious tradition,
and where nobody is disturbed by birth, death, old age, and disease because they have all realized that they are are not their bodies, having fully absorbed their every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances in the loving service of that Supreme Person with unlimited names who is the source of everyone and in the loving service of all those who are dedicated to Him.
I pray that this dream may come true before I leave my present body or if Krishna desires that I may take birth after birth in this material existence until this dream comes true.
Regards
Chandrika
My Dear Chandrika,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
If all prisoners in all prisons became reformed and were released to become free citizens and no one else ever became a criminal, all prisons would be permanently closed much to the delight of the everyone. No one would lament that the prisons were closed.
In this regard kindly note that there are humans residing eternally in the spiritual world who never deviate from pure loving service to Krishna, and who never get sick, never get old, and never die. If all the humans here in this material world got transferred back to their original home in that infinitely wonderful spiritual world, no one would lament that the material prison was closed.
However, because there are always foolish living beings leaving the spiritual world to see if they can be happier somewhere else, this material prison will go on for all of eternity. Therefore regarding your question, you have nothing to worry about, that is if you find, out of some sentiment, that permanently closing the material prison is problematic.
Now its up to you to decide whether you want to remain a prisoner here shackled by birth, death, old age, and disease or whether you would rather be an eternal, disease-free youth residing forever in the unlimitedly blissful
spiritual world, never to be shackled in the prison of material existence ever again.
I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom
Question: Would the Human Race Become Extinct?
I noted in your writings, "...then everyone would enter the Kingdom of God at time of death." If this is indeed possible, wouldn't that gradually lead to the disappearance of the human race, since souls need to reincarnate to ensure that the human race does not become extinct?Regards
