Here's Now to Never Lose Krishna
Lord Sri Krishna mercifully reveals to us in Bhagavad-gita, Chapter 6, Text 30 how to never lose Him:
yo māṁ paśyati sarvatra
sarvaṁ ca mayi paśyati
tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśyāmi
sa ca me na praṇaśyati
TRANSLATION
For one who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I am never lost, nor is he ever lost to Me.
And Srila Prabhupada has given this most wornderful purport to this verse:
PURPORT
A person in Kṛṣṇa consciousness certainly sees Lord Kṛṣṇa everywhere, and he sees everything in Kṛṣṇa. Such a person may appear to see all separate manifestations of the material nature, but in each and every instance he is conscious of Kṛṣṇa, knowing that everything is a manifestation of Kṛṣṇa's energy. Nothing can exist without Kṛṣṇa, and Kṛṣṇa is the Lord of everything—this is the basic principle of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is the development of love of Kṛṣṇa—a position transcendental even to material liberation. At this stage of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, beyond self-realization, the devotee becomes one with Kṛṣṇa in the sense that Kṛṣṇa becomes everything for the devotee and the devotee becomes full in loving Kṛṣṇa. An intimate relationship between the Lord and the devotee then exists. In that stage, the living entity can never be annihilated, nor is the Personality of Godhead ever out of the sight of the devotee. To merge in Kṛṣṇa is spiritual annihilation. A devotee takes no such risk. It is stated in the Brahma-saṁhitā (5.38):
premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena
santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti
yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ
govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi
"I worship the primeval Lord, Govinda, who is always seen by the devotee whose eyes are anointed with the pulp of love. He is seen in His eternal form of Śyāmasundara, situated within the heart of the devotee."
At this stage, Lord Kṛṣṇa never disappears from the sight of the devotee, nor does the devotee ever lose sight of the Lord. In the case of a yogī who sees the Lord as Paramātmā within the heart, the same applies. Such a yogī turns into a pure devotee and cannot bear to live for a moment without seeing the Lord within himself.
So now let us take full advantage of these most wonderful instructions and make our lives unlimitedly sublime.

What if while practicing Krishna Consciousness I leave my present body at the time of death without achieving the actual goal of going back to Godhead, and due to some pious credit I go to heavenly planets to enjoy sense gratification for thousands of years? I would then miss the golden 10,000 years period, the Caitanya Era, predicted by Srila Prabhupada, which would be the perfect atmosphere for advancing in Krishna consciousness and going back to Home, back to Godhead. If this would be my fate, how can I be projected from this fear and be assured of not having to go to heavenly planets wasting thousands of years before I could return back to earth to complete the process?

My Dear Suraj,
Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
By seriously practicing Krishna consciousness as you are now doing, if you don't attain the perfection of going back to Home, back to Godhead upon leaving your present body, you will get a suitable body and suitable situation for perfecting your Krishna consciousness in your next lifetime. You will not take as a lost soul bewildered by sense gratification on the heavenly planets.
But why should you have to be worried about such things? Fully absorb yourself in Krishna consciousness now under the guidance of Guru and Krishna and be thus sure of going back to Home, back to Godhead at the end of your present life.
I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,
Sankarshan Das Adhikari
