Help People By Giving the Gift of Krishna Conscoiusness
There
are many very nice people in this world. They help their fellow human
beings to the best of their ability. I'll give just one example that
comes to my mind. Once, in 1982 on the coldest day of the year, a plane
crashed into the Potomac river in Washington D.C. One man, a bystander,
dove into the icy water to rescue a woman. Another man, a survivor of
the crash, helped others to grab the rescue line and finally drowned
after saving others. These are inspiring examples of goodness in this
world. Then there are some very rare persons, great souls, who come into
this world to deliver people from the otherwise endless cycle of birth
and death (karma samsara). Sometimes God Himself comes to deliver the
fallen souls and sometimes his dear devotee comes. Around 5000 years ago
Krishna Himself appeared with His personal expansion Balarama in
Vrindavan, India. In 1486 A.D. Krishna and Balarama appeared again as
Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda in Bengal, India. Great devotees who
came include Madhvacharya, Ramanujacharya, Jesus Christ, Bhaktivinoda
Thakura, Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, H.D.G. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja and many others.
They and/or their followers are still present giving the gift of Krishna
consciousness to others.
