Krishna Consciousness - The World Religion

Krishna consciousness, the universal science of devotion, is the world religion and the perfection of religion. When this science is universally understood and practiced this entire planet will enjoy the most sublime era of global peace and happiness that it has known for thousands of years. Through Krishna consciousness Christians will be perfect Christians, Muslims will be perfect Muslims, Hindus will be perfect Hindus, etc. Therefore the greatest necessity of the human society is to educate everyone, all over the world, in the science of Krishna consciousness as soon as possible. Please dedicate your life as far as possible to assist us in our world deliverance mission.

Questions and Answers

Question:

First of all I would like to thank you for your guidance. Every day I read the Bhagavad-gita. It seems like I understand it, but when it comes to practical applications I'm not getting clarity. Please let me know how to apply the Bhagavad-gita in my daily routine. Once again, thank you very much for your support.

From: ISKCON Pune
My Dear Roja,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Lord Sri Krishna states in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 9, Text 27 as follows:

yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi
yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat
yat tapasyasi kaunteya
tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam

"Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer  or give away, and whatever austerities you perform—do  that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me."

You should rise early every morning no later than 4am, take your bath, and chant at least 16 rounds of Hare Krishna japa mala. You should regularly study the Bhagavad-gita as it is, the Srimad Bhagavatam, and the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita. You should also strictly avoid illicit sex, meat eating, intoxication, and gambling and only eat foods that have been offered to Lord Sri Krishna with love and devotion. You should also regularly associate with the the devotees at your nearest ISKCON center. By doing these things you will make rapid advancement on the path of spiritual realization. Your life will become wonderfully blessed with knowledge and bliss, and you will realize your eternal identity as the servant of Lord Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

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
