Save Them--They Are Dying

Srila Prabhupada ordered us to fully absorb ourselves in Krishna consciousness and to then preach to the suffering souls of this world to save them from their dying condition without Krishna consciousness. In a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture given on 31 May 1972 in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada stated as follows regarding the plight of the people in this world who are suffering without Krishna consciousness:

"There is no life. So life is Krishna consciousness. So if you actually feel for your country, for your community, for your people, just spread this Krishna consciousness. They're dying. You spread this Krishna consciousness. They'll come again to life, and everything will be actually beautiful. That is my request."

Let us all now fully surrender to Srila Prabhupada's most merciful instruction and dedicate ourselves fully to awakening the suffering souls of this world to Krishna consciousness.

Dilemma: My Mind is Stuck

Hare Krishna Guru Dev!

I really want to rise and develop higher taste of consciousness, but maya is so strong that it wants to entangle me in worldly pleasures. My mind is stuck. I know this is wrong, but somehow I am unable to come out of all this. Rather I am just engrossed every time in my mind with these pleasures. The harder I try, the harder I fail.

Please help, I dont want to ruin my life and time.

Humble obeisances,

Your servant,
Shikha Bajaj

Answer: Perseverance Furthers

From: London, England

My Dear Shikha,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The mind is like a naughty child. You have the scold it again and again and again until it finally learns to behave by always staying absorbed in Krishna consciousness.

Perseverance furthers. If you stick with this process of Krishna consciousness no matter how many ups and downs you face, you are guaranteed to come out a winner in the end.

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
