The Glorious Golden Era of Lord Caitanya

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krishna Himself in the garb of His own devotee appeared 500 years ago in what is now West Bengal to inaugurate the sankirtana movement, the movement of the congregational chanting of the holy names of God. This is the Krishna consciousness movement that has now spread all over the world and will eventually completely inundate this planet. It is predicted in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana 4.129.59:

kaler dasa-sahasrāni
madbhaktāh samti bhu-tale
ekavarnā bhavisyamti
madbhakteṣu gatesu ca

"For 10,000 years of Kali My devotees will fill the whole planet. After the departure of My devotees there will be only one varna [outcaste]."

Srila Prabhupada has referred to this verse in his purport to the Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Antya Lila, Chapter 3, Text 50 as follows:

"It is said that the Krishna consciousness movement will be prominent within the next ten thousand years, but after that people will all become mlecchas and yavanas."

This means that Krishna will remain here in this age of Kali in the form of the Krishna consciousness movement for another 9,500 years during which time the whole world will become Krishna conscious. After this 10,000 year golden age this planet will become filled up with man-eating cannibals living in a jungle-like existence. It will be an unspeakable hell. But Krishna's devotees have no worry in this regard because they will all be back in the spiritual world.

Know You Are and Be Who You Are


Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Is Life Fair?

Is life fair? Why?

Kidi Gets

Answer: Absolutely!

What goes around, comes around. Whatever you have done in this lifetime and in your past lifetimes has, is, or will come back to you. This is the law of karma. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There is also a way to escape your karma, and that is by fully surrendering to God. He will then give you a pardon and take you back to His eternal abode where life is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss.

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
