The World Deliverance Mission is Our Life and Soul

In a Srimad Bhagavatam lecture on 17 December 1973 in Los Angeles Srila Prabhupada gave us the following instruction:

"...just become perfect in the understanding of this science and become guru and deliver the whole world."

And in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Third Canto, Chapter 24, Text 13 citing the great Vedic authority, Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura to make his statement even more powerful he writes:

"Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura has stated that the order of the spiritual master is the life and soul of the disciples. As a man cannot separate his life from his body, a disciple cannot separate the order of the spiritual master from his life."

Just as two plus two equals four, if we understand the connection between these two instructions, the obvious conclusion is that we must accept the world deliverance mission given to us by Srila Prabhupada as our very life and soul.

Thus we have two duties: become pure devotees and deliver the world. I accept the order to deliver the world so seriously that I am willing to take birth and birth if necessary in order to successfully carry out this assignment to deliver the world.

Our highest duty is of course to deliver ourselves because if we do not deliver ourselves we will have zero potency to deliver the world.

Question: How to Stop Depression?

Namaste Sir,

Sir, these days my exams are coming and I am stressed about them. I have gone into depression because of them. Sir, please tell me what I should do so that this depression will stop haunting me again and again.

Thank you, Sir
Jai Shri Krishna

Manya Bansal

Answer: Chant Hare Krishna

My Dear Manya,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Depression is a sign that you have drifted into the mode of ignorance. If you will chant the Hare Krishna mantra at least 16 rounds daily on japa mala beads along with abstaining from illicit sex, meat eating intoxication, and gambling, depression will be driven completely out of your heart and you will become a powerful influence for making the whole world happy.

Just in case you don't know it here is how the Hare Krishna mantra goes:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare

I hope this meets you in the best of health and forcefully driving depression out of your heart by chanting Hare Krishna.

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

Who is this Krishna?

Image
Krishna is not a myth, nor is He an ordinary historical personality. He is the Supreme All-Attractive Personality of Godhead. He is the oldest of all while simultaneously maintaining the form of a 16 year old youth. He is all-attractive because he exceeds everyone in all of existence by possessing unlimitedly all the qualities that are attractive namely power, beautify, renunciation, knowledge, wealth, and fame. There is no one who equals or excels Him in the possession of these attractive qualities. This is why is accepted by all enlightened spiritualists as being God, the original source of all existence. The perfection of our existence is to re-establish our long forgotten loving relationships with Him.
