We Can Conquer the World in Eighteen Days

My spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, said that if we simply co-operate with him, we can make the whole world Krishna conscious in 18 days. Krishna conscious means a state of perfect peace and prosperity for all by being perfectly in harmony with the Supreme Person, Who is the source of all existence. Therefore out of compassion on the millions and billions of people who are in suffering conditions on this planet those who are wise and compassionate follow the directions of this great spiritual master for the ultimate benefit of all living beings. I have been. personally molding my life according to his sublime instructions for the last 47 years, and I can confirm from my own multi-decades experience how valid and uplifting his divine instructions are for me and for all those who have the made the wise decision of following them.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: ​​​​​​​How to Find a Bona Fide Guru?​​​

How can a person find a right guru (bonafide) in this age where so much duplicity and cheating tendency is predominant.
In comparison to Vedic times now to select any guru or a disciple is totally changed. Even more I feel shocked to see new ways which brought by ISKCON GBC which it decide guru and disciples relationship, rather than guru and disciple themselves. How authorized is this process? Please forgive me if I offend this system. Please enlighten in this aspect.

Answer: Find the One Who is Strictly Following His Guru

From: Kaunas, Lithuania

My Dear Harish,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The Guru/Disciple relationship is defined in the Vedic literatures. The GBC supports this principle. The bona fide guru is the one who does not deviate even slightly from the instructions of the previous acharya. So find that devotee who is purely presenting Srila Prabhupad's teachings with no additions and subtractions. Fully surrender unto him accepting him as your eternal spiritual master. This will be your success of your eternal existence.

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
