Here's the Proper Attitude for All Preachers

In the introduction to his book, "The Nectar of Devotion", Srila Prabhupada explains what should be the proper attitude for all preachers:

"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."

So let us all simply place ourselves in the hands of the previous acharyas to be used as their instruments for making the world Krishna conscious.

Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom

Question: How to Serve Lord Caitanya?

Hare Krishna
Please accept my most humble obeisances.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
All Glories to Sri Guru and Shri Gauranga.

How to serve Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu? Actually what happens? I can accept Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and even Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Sri Sri Radha and Krishna themselves in Kaliyuga. But somehow praying to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu I can't do this. I don't know how to get the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu...

I chant 16 to 20 rounds daily in week days and 32 rounds on weekends. Trying to bring conviction to serve Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu but something is lacking...

Trying to be servant of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Dasa- dasanudasa ....

Please guide in detail...

Most unfortunate and insignificant soul,

Chinmayi

Answer: Make the World Krishna Conscious

From: Austin, Texas USA

My Dear Chinmayi,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

The way to serve Lord Caitanya is to follow this instruction that He has given us in the Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 7, Verse 128:

yāre dekha, tāre kaha ‘kṛṣṇa’-upadeśa
āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra’ ei deśa

“Whomever you meet, instruct him on the teachings of Kṛṣṇa. In this way, on My order, become a spiritual master and deliver the people of this country.”

If you will dedicate your whole life for making the whole world Krishna conscious, you will be rendering the best service to Lord Caitanya and He will bestow His unlimited blessings upon you.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.

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.
