Lord Sri Krishna so kindly sent Srila Prabhupada here to this material to deliver us from our suffering. By his mercy we can get out of this rotten material world and return to our original home in the spiritual world. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada appeared in this world in 1896 in Calcutta, India. He first met his spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami, in Calcutta in 1922. Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, a prominent religious scholar and the founder of sixty-four Gaudiya Mathas (Vedic institutes), liked this educated young man and convinced him to dedicate his life to teaching Vedic knowledge. Srila Prabhupada became his student, and eleven years later (1933) at Allahabad he became his formally initiated disciple. At their first meeting, in 1922, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura requested Srila Prabhupada to broadcast Vedic knowledge through the English language. In the years that followed, Srila Prabhupada wrote a commentary on the B...

Today we are unlimitedly blessed because today is the most auspicious Janmastami day, the day that Lord Sri Krishna appeared in this world to save us from our suffering condition, to rescue us by taking us back to our original home in the spiritual world. Of course, he does not force us to come back. He is not going to drag us back to home, back to Godhead as prisoners. It is up to us to realize for our own benefit and happiness the necessity of returning to our original home, not to remain perpetually suffering birth, death, old age, and disease lifetime fter lifetime after lifetime. Such realization be can solidified if one accepts a bona fide spiritual master and dedicates his life to be fully obedient to his spiritual master.

We have recently heard a report that a so-called Vedic astrologer advised someone that they could get a divorce. This reminds us that we are now deeply entrenched in the Kali yuga, the age of quarrel and hypocrisy because this is indeed the height of hypocrisy. Divorce does not exist at all in Vedic culture. In Vedic culture there is no such thing as divorce. In this connection Srila Prabhupada writes in his purport to Srimad Bhagavatam, Fourth Canto, Chapter 23, Text 25 as follows: "In Vedic civilization the husband and wife were not separated by such man-made laws as divorce. We should understand the necessity for maintaining family life in human society and should thus abolish this artificial law known as divorce. The husband and wife should live in Krishna consciousness and follow in the footsteps of Laksmi-Narayana or Krishna-Rukmini. In this way peace and harmony can be possible within this world." Therefore someone who is posing himself as a Vedic astrologer and...

Our mission is to make the whole world Krishna conscious as soon as possible. This is the duty given to us by ISKCON Founder-Acarya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. In this regard Srila Prabhupada told us in a lecture he gave in Mayapur, India on 1 April 1975, "If you can propagate Krishna consciousness constantly, then, by spreading this Krsna consciousness movement, you can make the whole world Krishna conscious, and then it will be Vaikuntha." Vaikuntha means a world which is completely free from all anxiety. Therefore let us now take advantage of this most merciful guidance of Srila Prabhupada and absorb ourselves constantly in spreading the Krishna consciousness movement. In this way the entire world will become delivered from ignorance and misery. Everyone in the world will become completely, totally happy.
