Prayer for World Deliverance

The whole world is suffering like anything now due to a lack of Krishna consciousness. Therefore, Lord Krishna, we are praying to you, begging that you please bless all of us, your ISKCON devotees, that we may now become 100% pure and perfect in our chanting and our loving service to you so that we can now become fully empowered for making the entire world Krishna conscious as soon as possible to relieve these poor suffering souls from their endless misery. In this regard you explain in your purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Adi Lila, Chapter 7, Text 83 as follows.

"A sincere student aurally receives the holy name from the spiritual master, and after being initiated he follows the regulative principles given by the spiritual master. When the holy name is properly served in this way, automatically the spiritual nature of the holy name spreads; in other words, the devotee becomes qualified in offenselessly chanting the holy name. When one is completely fit to chant the holy name in this way, he is eligible to make disciples all over the world, and he actually becomes jagad-guru. Then the entire world, under his influence, begins to chant the holy names of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra."

So please, Lord Sri Krishna, bless us, your ISKCON devotees, that we can now come to the standard of chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra free from all offenses so that we can now free the suffering people of this world from their perpetual misery by inspiring them all to fully devote their lives to Lord Sri Krishna.

Suffering World Needs Krishna Consciousness

Suffering World Needs Krishna Consciousness

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: Different Concepts in Different Religions?

Why there is so much different concepts about idol worship in each religion? Lord Jesus Christ has said it is most sinful thing to worship other gods or idols and also said it is very essential to get baptized to enter the Kingdom of God. Kindly share your views

Thanking you.

Answer: Genuine Religion is One

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Anjitha,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Genuine religion is one. Thus all genuine religious traditions forbid the worship of false gods. So we agree completely with Lord Jesus Christ on this point. We also agree with him about baptism, which the Christians call being born again in the Holy Spirit. We have the same concept although we give it a different name. We call it initiation or dvija, becoming twice born.

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
