On the order of his spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, Sankarshan Prabhu has dedicated his life for the most urgent work of spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world. The more that Krishna consciousness spreads, the more that the suffering, scarcity, and hate on this planet will be replaced with bliss, abundance and love. This is a golden opportunity for us to do the highest good for all living beings and receive the special blessings of the Lord. Therefore we should, as much as possible, sacrifice our time, energy, and resources to assist Sankarshan Prabhu in his most important work. If you would like to help out to any extent, little or big, kindly inform Sankarshan Prabhu of your desire. |

Friday 3 July 2009 from Auckland, New Zealand -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Thought: Perplexed but not Discouraged A devotee of the Lord sometimes faces very perplexing situations. But because he has complete faith in Lord Krishna he is never discouraged even in the most devastating of circumstances. Once upon a time in the early days of the universe while Lord Brahma was engaged in the process of creation, the earth was inundated by a deluge and fell down into the depths of the Garbhodaka ocean in the bottom of the universe. Even though Lord Brahma was perplexed wondering what could he do to deal with this situation, instead of becoming discouraged he reasoned that the best thing to do under the circumstances was to let Krishna direct him what to do. And when he was thinking like this Varahadeva, the boar incarnation of God, appeared and rescued the earth from it precarious condition. So whenever we are bewildered by reverse conditions we should take it as a grand opportunity to take shelter of the Lord. By doing so we will soon be free from anxiety and will be able cross successfully over the ocean of difficulty. Sankarshan Das Adhikari  Lord Varahadeva Saves the Earth Answers According to the Vedic Version: Question: Leader of ISKCON? Are you now the spiritual leader of ISKCON ? Ray -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: One of ISKCON's Leaders While I am not THE spiritual leader of ISKCON, I am ONE of the spiritual leaders of ISKCON. Srila Prabhupada instructed all of his followers to become spiritual masters for leading the world out of its present chaotic godless condition into a new era of enlightened God consciousness for the perfect peace and harmony of the entire human society. Even though I have disciples all over the world who are very inspired by my presentation of the science of Krishna consciousness, I take no credit for this. Rather I give all credit to my spiritual master, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who has so mercifully saved me from the clutches of illusion and misery to engage me in the topmost activity of living for the deliverance of all the suffering souls of this world back to home, back to Godhead.

Thursday 2 July 2009 from Nadi, Fiji -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Thought: Prayer to Krishna Kaliya We took our final darshan of Krishna Kaliya at our ISKCON temple in Lautoka, Fiji on 30 June. It was a very heart touching moment for me. After putting some money into the donation box I humbly bowed down at Krishna Kaliya's feet thanking Him for the so many wonderful Krishna conscious experiences I have had preaching in Fiji over the years since 1985. In this material world we can never be certain of anything except for death and of course, even more importantly, Lord Krishna's mercy. So I simply offered myself to Krishna Kaliya as His eternal servant praying to Him that He can do with me whatever He likes because He is my eternal lord and master. If He wants to bring me back to Fiji again for more preaching, I am willing. And if He has other plans for me, I am fully surrendered to that also. After I placed my mind into this mood of complete surrender to Krishna's will we then departed for the Nadi airport where we would be catching our flight to New Zealand. So now I carry this beautiful form of Krishna dancing on the head of the Kaliya serpent within my heart begging for His mercy that I can always be a soul fully surrendered unto Him and that in spite of my innumerable disqualifications that He may use me as His instrument for helping to bring about a spiritual revolution all over the world. Sankarshan Das Adhikari  Krishna Kaliya Deity in Lautoka, Fiji  Painting of Krishna Kaliya at Krishna Kaliya Temple in Lautoka Answers According to the Vedic Version: Question: Source of the Energy? When I asked you if you can prove that God exists you replied, "Just as the electricity which powers the lights in your house proves the existence of the powerhouse, the energy which powers this material universe proves the existence of the universal powerhouse." So now my question is, "From where does this energy come?" Aashish -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: Krishna--the Supreme Energetic Krishna reveals in the Bhagavad-gita that all of the energy comes from Him. So it is Lord Sri Krishna who is the ultimate powerhouse for everything within existence. He is the Energetic, and everything within existence is energy. Sankarshan Das Adhikari |

Wednesday 1 July 2009 from Nadi, Fiji -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Thought: Finding the Paradise Within Seeking paradise thousands and thousands of tourists regularly stream into Fiji from all over the world to enjoy its natural beauty. Ironically at the same time many of those who live here find it to be hell and are looking for ways to emigrate. Even though this material world is sometimes very beautiful, that beauty is never perfect. It is always marred with suffering and sorrow. Therefore those who are factually intelligent do not look to this material world for happiness. Instead of trying to enjoy a paradise in this material world, they find the real paradise within by awakening their dormant Krishna consciousness. This is the real paradise because it is never tainted by suffering and sorrow. It is the realm of pure unadulterated bliss. Sankarshan Das Adhikari  Tourists Arriving in Fiji  Fiji's Natural Beauty  Paradise Marred by Coup  Revealing the Real Paradise Within to Devotees in Fiji Answers According to the Vedic Version: Question: Proof of God's Existence? Can you prove that God exists? Aashish -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: The Universal Powerhouse Just as the electricity which powers the lights in your house proves the existence of the powerhouse, the energy which powers this material universe proves the existence of the universal powerhouse.
