ISKCON Will Save the World from Barbarianism

21 February 2025

Srila Prabhupada's ISKCON movement is destined to save the world. In this connection Srila Prabhupada wrote in London on 13 November 1969 to his disciple, Jayasri:

"Our movement is the greatest gift to the human race. They may not immediately appreciate it, but time will come and history will give evidence that this movement saved the human society from being fallen into barbarianism."

It is certainly Srila Prabhupada's mercy upon us that we have gotten this opportunity to participate in the Krishna consciousness movement.

Transcendental Correspondence

Hare Krishna Srila Gurudev,
Please accept this little servant's humble obeisances. All glories to you and Srila Prabhupada.

I understood that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but I am confused that people say Shri Ram is the avatar of Lord Vishnu. However, Shri Krishna told that whenever and wherever religious practice declines, He appears millennium after millennium in His original transcendental form to deliver the pious and annihilate the miscreants.

So in that sense Lord Ram should be the avatar of Krishna and not Vishnu?

Another doubt is that Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, 3rd Chapter, 9th Shlok, says work done as a sacrifice for Vishnu has to be performed. But Krishna is the Supreme Lord, so work done as a sacrifice for Krishna should be ideal? Maybe I am not able to understand the concept of avatar or something. Please provide me with the knowledge and kindly clear my doubt, Gurudev.

From,
Shinjan Singhan

From: Sri Mayapur Dhama, India

My Dear Shinjan,

Please accept my blessings.
All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

Krishna is the origin of everyone and everything. He is also known as Vishnu. So we can also say that everything comes from Vishnu. And we can also say that everything should be done for Vishnu.

In this connection Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport to SB 4.19.37:

"Sometimes Lord Viṣṇu appears in His person as Lord Kṛṣṇa or Lord Rāma.”

So we can say that Rama is an avatar of Krishna. Or we can also say that He is avatar of Vishnu. Both are correct. Vishnutattva is the category of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Krishna, Rama, and Vishnu and are all in the category of Vishnutattva. Thus they are all Vishnu.

Leave aside mental speculation and hear and accept what the great Vaisnava authorities say. But y u can also inquire submissively until all of your doubts are removed.

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

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.
