I Was Ordered to Become Guru and Deliver the World

On 17 December 1973, while giving a lecture in Los Angeles on the Srimad Bhagavatam, First Canto, Chapter 15, Text 39 Srila Prabhupada gave the following instruction:

"So therefore our request is that these Europeans and Americans who have taken to Krishna consciousness, just become perfect in the understanding of this science and become guru and deliver the whole world."

Therefore as one of those persons that he referred to in this instruction it is my duty, as per his order, to become a spiritual master and deliver the world. With the additional blessing of ISKCON's GBC body I am now a spiritual master with disciples all over the world. And now it is also my duty to carry out the second half of Srila Prabhupada's order. I have to now deliver the entire from ignorance by making the whole world Krishna conscious.

Considering myself to be totally unfit in this regard, all I can is beg for Srila Prabhupada's unlimited mercy that I can successfully carry out his instruction.

P.S. It should noted that when Srila Prabhupada gave this instruction practically no one except for Europeans and Americans had joined this movement.

"Become Guru and Deliver the Whole World."

Become Guru and Deliver the Whole World.

Request: Help Me Realize the Existence of God

You write heart touching lines. But I have never felt the need to believe in God because my almighty is my truthfulness, honesty, simplicity and unbiased decisions. I would be grateful to you if you can help me realize the existence of God.

Answer: There Has to Be God

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Anil,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

To understand God is very simple. Since nothing comes from nothing, everything must come from something and that original something is God. There has be an origin and Krishna declares Himself to be that origin.
He demonstrated this to Arjuna when He revealed His universal form to Arjuna.

Please feel free to inquire further in this regard.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.

Your ever well-wisher,

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 ...
