Mandate: Become Guru and Deliver the World

19 April 2025

I have been mandated by my spiritual master, my topmost authority His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, to become guru and deliver the world. So there is no question of not doing this. It must be done. I know that on my own that this is completely impossible. But I also know that by full submission to Srila Prabhupada and through him to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the most merciful incarnation of the Supreme Personality Lord Sri Krishna, that even that which is totally impossible becomes possible by the grace of Lord Caitanya's supreme mystic potency. Thus, the whole world can in fact be delivered.

Therefore, I must unflinchingly dedicate my every thought, word, and deed in all times, places, and circumstances to this supreme goal, taking this order as my very life and soul.

Take the Order of Your Spiritual Master as Your Very Life and Soul

Dandavat pranam Guru Maharaj,

Hare Krishna!

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful response. I am deeply grateful for your guidance. I will certainly follow the practices of chanting at least 16 rounds of japa mala daily and avoid the activities that are detrimental to spiritual growth, as you have advised.

I understand that specific guidance comes through inquiry, and I will continue to ask questions to learn more. I will do my best to inquire submissively, as per the teachings of Bhagavad-gita.

Guru Maharaj, if I may inquire, if you conduct any live lectures or kirtans, would it be possible for you to add me to any group where I can participate and benefit from them?

Additionally, Guru Mahara, when I try to do bhakti and follow the practices, I sometimes feel a sense of loneliness. It feels difficult at times to stay focused and positive on this journey, and I am unsure how to overcome these feelings. I would be grateful for any guidance or suggestions you may have on this.

Thank you once again for your blessings. I pray for your continued guidance and support on this spiritual journey.

I hope this message finds you in the best of health and spirits.

Dandavat pranam,
Sarthak Kumar

Loneliness means that you are forgetting that Krishna, the spiritual master, and all the great Vaisnava acharyas are fully present with you when you engage in devotional
service.

I hope this meets you in the best of health
and in a cheerful mood.

Your ever well-wisher,

My Spiritual Journey in a Nutshell

As an American youth I was taught to believe in the. "American dream": Study hard, get a good education and a good job to get a good wife some good kids in a good house to enjoy a good life. But when I got to college I realized that this was not enough. I wanted to know what is the meaning of life, but no one could tell me. So I took to the path of self-realization and was blessed in 1968 with the Hare Krishna mantra and the worship of Radha and Krishna. (I did not know about ISKCON.) This inspired me to drop out of college and renounce the world to become a holy beggar in India. But on the way to India I realized that to renounce everything I had to ultimately renounce renunciation itself and accept something transcendental Thus I embraced the mission of delivering the world from chaos. For this purpose I adopted the life a singer/songwriter who in 1969 became recognized and very much appreciated. In 1971, seeking spiritual perfection, I followed the example of Lord Jesus Christ and prayed to God how I could become His perfect servant. Then God revealed to me path of pure Krishna bhakti as taught by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. On the most auspicious day of 12 August 1971 he accepted me as his disciple. Now on his order and under his most expert guidance I have fully devoted my life for awakening pure love of God within my heart and for making the entire world Krishna conscious.

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?
