Fourteen Years of "Thought for the Day"

Our goal is to flood the entire Planet Earth with Krishna consciousness so that everyone can be peaceful and happy in this lifetime and at the end of their lives can attain the ultimate perfection of going back to home, back to Godhead. To this end the more that one immerses himself or herself in transcendental subject matters, the more they will become blessed by being surcharged with Krishna consciousness. So for those who have not been subscribed to our e-course for the last fourteen years here is a resource you can use to read from our previous thousands of "Thought for the Day" broadcasts:

The Great Leader Who is Delivering the World

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Avoid Being Always Up and Down?

Respected swamiji

I am Ankit Kumar Paul of age 22 from India. Swamiji, I want to share some thing with you and I would love to hear from you.

Dear Swamiji, I don't know why but sometimes I feel very high very motivated. I feel like I can conquer anything that I can accomplish any task. I feel very happy, but then a few moments later I feel exactly opposite of it, very low very demotivated. I don't know why this thing happens with me.
Swamiji how can I overcome distraction?

The moment I think that I have no distraction within next moment I am distracted.

Swamiji please guide me.

My Pranam to you.

Answer: How to Keep Going Up and Up

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Ankit,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

When your goals are material it is natural that you always be up and down. But if you will make your goals spiritual, you will keep going up and up and up for your entire life.

Therefore I suggest the two following goals for you.

1. Spiritual Perfection: Become perfect in pure love of God (Krishna consciousness.)
2, Spiritual Revolution: Make the whole world Krishna conscious.

Embrace these two goals as your very life and soul and you will never be down ever again.

I hope this meets you in the best of health and in an ecstatic mood.
Your ever well-wisher,
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
