He Will Lead the World Out of Chaos

Srila Prabhupada describes as follows in his purport to Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 7, Text 83:

"When one is completely fit to chant the holy name in this way (pure chanting), he is eligible to make disciples all over the world, and he actually becomes jagad-guru. Then the entire world, under his influence, begins to chant the holy names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra."

So now we pray that such a Vaisnava, who can lead the world out of chaos, will now become manifest on this planet to expand upon the work of the previous acharyas and make the entire world Krishna conscious so that the horrible chaos, which is presently torturing the human society, will be finished.

Since the Pure Devotee Has Come, the Evil Has to End.

Since the Pure Devotee Has Come, the Evil Has to End.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Can You Accept Her as Your Disciple?

Please accept my prostrated obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Presently I am in Peru. I trained a lady in Colima, Mexico for 6 years. She has a beautiful, well cared for altar of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna, Jagannatha-Baladeva-Subhadra, Nitai-Gauranga. She is serving Tulasi and she follows the regulative principles as best she can. She helped Guruprasada Swami put on two Festivals of India in Colima (2013 and 2018). She hosts in her home the sankirtana devotees led by Aravinda Prabhu when they need it. She has rendered various services in the Guadalajara Yatra under the management of Mother Radhika. She is 59 years old and she has a great attitude and affection for the devotees and devotional service. She owns a store where she still sells alcohol, meat, eggs, fish and cigarettes. She chants rounds but she still doesn’t reach 16. Otherwise she is a good devotee.

My question: What possibilities does she have to depend on your mercy to accept her as your disciple?

I admire your liberal disposition to preach and accept disciples. I don’t recommend anyone if I am not sure that the person has the devotional aptitude and attitude. She has them.

I wait for your reply.

Your servant,
Sarva Deva Das

Answer: She Can Take Shelter of Me

From: Toronto, Canada

My Dear Sarva Deva Prabhu,

Please accept my obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

She can now take shelter of me as an aspiring disciple. I will guide her how to strictly follow our regulative principles and chant at least 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala every day without fail. Plus I will guide her how to turn her business into a successful health food store. After these items are accomplished I can then formally initiate her as my eternal disciple.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your servant,

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
