The Solution for Global Pandemonium


The current protests happening all over the USA are a glaring symptom of a basic flaw in our entire social system. Basically we are a "me" centered civilization. Everybody thinks, "I am the center." Thus our modern day society is like a pond in which everyone throws their rock in a different place. The waves produced by these rocks then clash with one another creating a very turbulent surface of the pond.

If, however, everyone throws their rock in the same place, there will be only one set of nice harmonious waves coming from the common center with no clashing of waves at all. Thus the solution for all of the current turmoil is to find that common center for all living beings, where we can all focus our energies. Until this common center is found, we will experience ever-increasing turmoil and chaos all over the world with the potential of the complete breakdown of our modern civilization into total, complete pandemonium.

The Solution for Global Pandemonium

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Control My Mind?

Hare Krishna.
Please accept my respectful obeisances, Srila Gurudeva.

Gurudeva, could you please guide me on how do I control my mind and negative thoughts and stop the chattering of my foolish mind that wanders unknowingly sometimes. We cannot imagine Krishna. So how to fix our mind on him? Please give me some clarity on the word intuition.

Please give me some clarity, Srila Gurudeva,

Yours sincerely,
Krutika

Answer: Chant Hare Krishna Japa

From: ISKCON Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Krutika,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The best way to bring the mind under control is to chant every day on japa beads:

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे ||
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||

The more you chant, the more your mind will become peaceful and happy. Chant at least 16 times around the beads every day chanting the full mantra on each bead.

Intuition is the knowledge that you already have within you. The more you chant, the more it will be awakened.

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
