Who Should Be President of the USA

Who Should Be President of the USA
On 29 December 1973 while giving a lecture in Los Angeles on Srimad Bhagavatam, First Canto, Chapter 16, Text 1 Srila Prabhupada stated:

"So this civilization is so risky that people are not being given the real right that human being has the right to understand God and to make his relationship reestablished and go to home, back to Godhead, back to home. That is the real facility to the people. The program should be made like that, that the human life may not be missed. That is government. Therefore a maha-bhagavata, a great devotee, advanced devotee, should be on the head of the executive function. That is the idea of Vedic civilization."

There are three stages of devotion: kanistha adhikari, madhyama adhikari, and uttama adhikari. The maha-bhagavata is on the level of uttama adhikari. He sees everything within Krishna and Krishna within everything.

Most unfortunately neither of the above candidates is qualified to lead the United States of America. No matter which of them is elected the USA will suffer and the whole world will suffer. It's time for change.

If we are ever going to have a maha-bhagavata leader, we will have to be maha-bhagavatas also. So let's do it now. Let's get off of the kanistha and madhyama platforms and become uttama adhikaris, maha-bhagavatas who can see Krishna within everything and everything within Krishna.

Answer: Mutual Appreciation

My Dear Harinam Sankirtan Das,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.


I don't remember the details of that meeting I had with Jayapataka Maharaja on 30 June 2019 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. But I have expressed to him how much I appreciate him for having sacrificed his entire his life for serving Prabhupada's mission. He also appreciates my humble effort to preach. He has written to me as follows, "You are my siksha guru in many ways. You are my internet siksha guru as you are preaching so nicely over internet."

Below is another photo from that meeting.

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
