Mission Given by Srila Prabhupada: Deliver the World

Instead of This

We Can Have This

Mission Given by Srila Prabhupada: Deliver the World
Srila Prabhupada ordered me, "...just become perfect in the understanding of this science and become guru and deliver the world." So what I am supposed to do?

My duty is to carry out the order that he has given me. Thus my life's goal is to do just that, to deliver the world from nescience by making it Krishna conscious as soon as possible. Therefore I pray every day that I can be a spotlessly pure devotee and that I can now make the whole world Krishna conscious. And I beg Lord Krishna that if I am not able to do this in this lifetime that He will grant me the boon of allowing me to take birth and birth until I am able to successfully do this.

So I am humbly begging you, my dear disciples and readers, please help me to deliver the world from all suffering by making it Krishna conscious as soon as possible. There are four ways you an assist. Prāṇair arthair dhiyā vācā. You can give your life, your money, your words, or your intelligence.

You can dedicate your life to assist our preaching of Krishna consciousness by becoming an initiated disciple. Or you can donate money to assist our preaching (click here to donate). Or you can engage your intelligence by giving ideas how we can make the world Krishna conscious. And if nothing else, you can engage your words by asking people to chant Hare Krishna.

So are you willing to help? And if so, how would you like to help?

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: What is Our First Birth?

What is our first birth when we come from God or we are separated from God?

Jiten Bhattacharya

Answer: Lord Brahma

My Dear Jiten,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The first birth we take when we fall into this material existence is as Lord Brahma. This is confirmed by Srila Prabhupada in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 9th Canto, Chapter 24, Text 58 as follows:

"Both the Lord and the living entity, being qualitatively spirit soul, have the tendency for peaceful enjoyment, but when the part of the Supreme Personality of Godhead unfortunately wants to enjoy independently, without Krishna, he is put into the material world, where he begins his life as Brahma and is gradually degraded to the status of an ant or a worm in stool. "

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
