You Become a Guru

Srila Prabhupada has unlimited compassion until the fallen, suffering souls of this age. Therefore he sacrificed himself fully for spreading the teachings of Lord Sri Krishna all over the world. This propagation of Krishna consciousness is what will actually save the today's suffering world population from their miseries. Therefore we should take very seriously this mission of Lord Caitanya to make the whole world Krishna conscious.

In this regard Lord Caitanya has ordered us that whomever we meet we instruct him in the teachings of Krishna and this we must become gurus for delivering the suffering people of this world back to home, back to Godhead. To become a guru is not very difficult. You don't have to manufacture anything. Simply tell everyone you meet about the teachings of Lord Krishna. In this way you will become a guru.

Answers According to Vedic Wisdom

Question: Placing Our Faith?

Does it matter where we place our faith?

Sarvopama Das

Answer: Faith in Spirit

From:ISKCON Austin, Texas USA
My Dear Sarvopama Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
If you put your faith in matter, your next body will be material. And if you put your faith in spirit, your next body will be spiritual. So now you decide whether you would like to have in your next life a spiritual body, which is eternal, full of knowledge, and full of bliss or a material body, which is temporary and full of ignorance and misery. And after giving this due consideration place your faith according to what kind of body you would like to have in your next birth.

Hoping this you make the right decision,

Your servant,
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
