May All the Fallen Souls Be Delivered

In his purport to Sri Caitanya Caritamrita, Madhya Lila, Chapter 8, Text 246 Srila Prabhupada has written:

In the Itihāsa-samuccaya, Nārada tells Puṇḍarīka:

janmāntara-sahasreṣu yasya syād buddhir īdṛśī
dāso ’haṁ vāsudevasya sarvāl lokān samuddharet

”After many, many births, when a person realizes that he is the eternal servant of Vāsudeva, he can deliver all the worlds.”

Srila Prabhupada has also translated "sarvāl lokān samuddharet" as "can deliver all the fallen souls in material existence."

I find this most inspiring. It is something to truly aspire for, to become so pure and perfect in devotional service that one becomes empowered to deliver all the fallen souls in the material existence back to their original home in the spiritual world.

Questions and Answers

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudev.
Please accept my obeisances. All glories to you and Gurumata.

I am pasting your statement from the thought for the day here:
"US President today, stool-eating pig tomorrow."

My worry is whatever a pure devotee says will happen. This means it may turn out to be a curse on him? I don't like Trump and I am not siding with him. If it is a curse then I am concerned about its impact on you (Karma).

I have heard Srila Prabhupada also say something like this but I can't come to terms when we say something bad about somebody. My tendency is to let God deal with it. Please forgive if I offended you and my ignorance.

Your servant,
Caitanya Vani

My Dear Caitanya Vani,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

It’s nice to hear from you. We look forward to being back in Austin soon with you and all the other wonderful devotees there.

Your question is nice. Whenever there is something that we find confusing we should always inquire.

It’s just an example. It is not referring to any particular person. It’s stating a principle that today’s big, big personalities will, as a result of their karma, be dragged down to a position of insignificance in their next life.

I do not curse anyone. My prayer is that all the fallen souls who are caught up in the cycle will be delivered back to home, back to Godhead.

I hope this meets you in the best of health.
Your ever well-wisher,

Sankarshan Das Adhikari

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 ...

Misguided Fools Say that Masturbation is Healthy

Image
Foolish modern day materialists recommend masturbation as follows: "Masturbation is a common activity. It’s a natural and safe way to explore your body, feel pleasure, and release built-up sexual tension. It occurs among people of all backgrounds, genders, and races. Despite the myths, there are actually no physically harmful side effects of masturbation." They are wrong. To get a proper understanding on this this topic read the question and answer section below. Answers According to the Vedic Wisdom Question: What are the Ill Effects of Masturbation? Since you answered questions related to understanding the real need of sex in a human being's life, so I also request you to please enlighten us with the knowledge about semen conservation, it's importance, and the consequences of frequently releasing it thorough sex or masturbation.
