The Solution for All Problems

When we put God back in the center where He belongs, automatically all of our problems are solved. How could it be this easy? The reason it is so easy is that we are all by our very natures the eternal servants of God. Just as a fish on the land is in great trouble, but when he is back in the water all of his problems are solved, in a similar way as soon we come back to our original constitutional natures as the eternal servants of God all of our problems are solved. The mission of the Krishna Consciousness Movement is to enlighten the entire world in this most sublime science because when they become thus enlightened global peace and peace and prosperity will be the automatic worldwide result.

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.

I am eternally indebted to these great souls for how much they helped me in my spiritual life when I was a young devotee.

Recently Gayatri almost died. But

Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
