How to Make the World Krishna Conscious?
Regarding how to make the world Krishna conscious Srila Prabhupada very nicely explains as follows in his introduction to the Nectar of Devotion:
"The author of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, very humbly submits that he is just trying to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world, although he humbly thinks himself unfit for this work. That should be the attitude of all preachers of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, following in the footsteps of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. We should never think of ourselves as great preachers, but should always consider that we are simply instrumental to the previous ācāryas, and simply by following in their footsteps we may be able to do something for the benefit of suffering humanity."
Therefore let us simply act as instruments in the hands of the previous acharyas in order to inundate the world with Krishna consciousness.

Guru Maharaja, how you conquer the lusty desires even after living in a foreign country? And also please tell me what to do when attraction for the opposite gender comes in the mind.
Thank you

Chanting Hare Krishna with love is more relishable than sexual intercourse. If a lusty thought comes, the devotee spits at that thought. This is seen in the example of Yamunacarya Albandru of South India who before becoming a devotee was king enjoying sex with so many girls. Here's how he prayed:
yad-avadhi mama cetaḥ kṛṣṇa-pādāravinde
nava-nava-rasa-dhāmany udyataṁ rantum āsīt
tad-avadhi bata nārī-saṅgame smaryamāne
bhavati mukha-vikāraḥ suṣṭhu niṣṭhīvanaṁ ca
"Since I have been engaged in the transcendental loving service of Kṛṣṇa, realizing ever-new pleasure in Him, whenever I think of sex pleasure, I spit at the thought, and my lips curl with distaste."
Srila Prabhupada explains in this regard in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, 7th Canto, Chapter 9, Text 45:
"Yāmunācārya had formerly been a great king who enjoyed sexual happiness in various ways, but since he later engaged himself in the service of the Lord, he enjoyed spiritual bliss and hated to think of sex life. If sexual thoughts came to him, he would spit with disgust."
So now you should dive deeply into chanting and get that taste better than sex.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
