We do not exist because we evolved from a monkey-like ancestor as Charles Darwin has most foolishly theorized. Rather we exist as the energy of God (Krishna), manifested by Him for the purpose of having an unlimitedly satisfying loving relationship with Him. This purpose of our existence has become totally lost to the modern-day increasing atheistic and demoniac global society. And because of this everyone is miserable. This is why the Vedic wisdom is so essential for bringing peace and sanity back to our ever-increasingly troubled so-called human society.

Human life means self-realization, not sense gratification as is the pastime of the modern day totally materialistic so-called human civilization. So to be a normal person one has to be on the path of self-realization. To not take up the pathway of self-realization qualifies the so-called human being as two-legged animal. This is confirmed as follows in the Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 2, Chapter 3, Text 19 as follows: sva-viḍ-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ na yat-karṇa-pathopeto jātu nāma gadāgrajaḥ "Men who are like dogs, hogs, camels and asses praise those men who never listen to the transcendental pastimes of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the deliverer from evils." The destination of such animalistic men is to get an animal body in their next life. And the destination of those who wholeheartedly pursue the ultimate self-realization path of Krishna consciousness is to enter into the spiritual world when they leave their present material bodies. Everyone is free to choose

Our real purpose in this human form of is to re-establish our lost loving relationship with that Supreme Person, Who is the source of all existence. Anything else is useless waste of time and energy. Unfortunately in our modern day so-called civilization everyone is taught very well how to completely waste their human form so that they will become animals in their next birth. Instead of going back to home, back to Godhead they will become dogs, hogs, pigs, monkeys, elephants, snakes, mosquitoes, etc. etc. Therefore our mission in this Krishna consciousness movement is to save them from gliding down to the lower species. The difficulty is that they have no interest to hear and learn from us because they are taking their temporary sense gratification as the only purpose of their existence.

True love means unconditional love. If I have any conditions for my love, it is not truly love. Rather, it is business. "I will love you if." True love or real love means that under any and all circumstances I will always love no matter what. It is only this unconditional love that gives true satisfaction to the self. All other types of love are simply varying degrees of lust masquerading as love. They are contaminations covering our hearts causing us so many varieties of miseries.

The recent terrorist attack in New Zealand in which 49 people who murdered while they were worshipping God is due to false bodily identification. The shooter went on a rampage against Muslims.

The burning need of the modern day society is not economic development. What is actually required is ideal spiritually enlightened persons who can lead the entire global society by their perfect example. Due to a lack of such leadership the entire planet earth has been plunged into great distress. If there is even one ideal teacher, he can turn world history right side up. This is confirmed in the Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 3, Text 21 in which Lord Sri Krishna so wisely explains: yad yad ācarati śreṣṭhas tat tad evetaro janaḥ sa yat pramāṇaṁ kurute lokas tad anuvartate "Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues."

In the Srimad Bhagavatam 5.5.18 we read the following very significant verse: gurur na sa syāt sva-jano na sa syāt pitā na sa syāj jananī na sā syāt daivaṁ na tat syān na patiś ca sa syān na mocayed yaḥ samupeta-mṛtyum TRANSLATION "One who cannot deliver his dependents from the path of repeated birth and death should never become a spiritual master, a father, a husband, a mother or a worshipable demigod." This verse means that no one should take any kind of leadership position unless they can deliver their dependents from the cycle of birth of death. This means that all of the present day leaders in the world are cheaters. They are rascals. They should not be occupying their leadership positions. Only those who are qualified to deliver their dependents from the cycle of birth and death are qualified to be leaders.

At the present moment our global society is gliding down into the deepest, darkest despair. Everywhere we find that greed and exploitation of the weak by the strong is becoming the norm.
