Devotees of Krsna should all get the Covid-19 vaccine as soon as possible if they want to travel to other's homes and tell them about Kṛṣṇa, it is dangerous out there.

Thank Krsna I have had my two jabs of Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine that now allows me to travel and tell others about Krsna.

The vaccine is free.

Hundreds are dying every day and sadly all those who are dying are unvaccinated.

So save your life and get vaccinated so you can travel and preach about Kṛṣṇa, and please avoid anti-vax ignorant people with their nonsense big pharmacy is after your money nonsense, most are stupid conspiracy theories.

Remember the vaccine in free.

Krsna helps those who do everything they can to help themselves.

The following is an example of worshiping Krsna (God) ignorantly-

The story of the drowning Man who prayed to God for help

Once during a big flood a man was stuck on his rooftop. He was continuously chanting and praying to Kṛṣṇa to be saved.

Soon a man in a rowboat came by shouted to the man on the roof,

"Jump in, I can save you."

The stranded man on the roof shouted back, "No, no, it's OK, I'm praying to Kṛṣṇa and he is going to save me."

So the rowboat went on.

Then a motorboat came by and the man in the motorboat shouted,

"Jump in, I can save you, before the water gets too high."

To this the stranded man said, "No thanks, I'm praying to Kṛṣṇa, I don't need your help, he is going to save me. I have faith."

So the motorboat went away too.

Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down,

"Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety."

To this the stranded man again replied, "No thanks, I'm praying to Kṛṣṇa and he is going to save me personally. I have faith, go away."

So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.

Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned and he left his material bodily vessel.

After death, he was taken to the court of Yamaraj the Lord of death and said to Yamaraj.

"I had faith that Kṛṣṇa would save me but he didn't save me and let me drown. I don't understand why!"

To this the Yamaraj, a great devotee of Kṛṣṇa replied,

"Kṛṣṇa sent you a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect from Krsna? He did everything he could to help you!"

By this we understand Kṛṣṇa can help one in so many ways without being physically present.

In early February 1973 in Sydney Australia, Srila Prabhupada developed an infection on his finger from a paper cut while opening mail.

The infected finger got worse over a few days and eventually Prabhupada asked for a doctor to come and give him penicillin to heal the infection.

This happen and within a day his infected finger was healed

However, one young devotee saw that Prabhupada was constantly chanting Hare Krsna, translating Srimad Bhagavatam's 3rd Canto and preaching to all the devotees and was very confused.

This young devotee asked Prabhupada,

''You are always chanting Krsna's name, working late at night translating Srimad Bhagavatam into English and preaching to the devotees, why didn't Krsna heal your finger directly that caused your discomfort?''

Srila Prabhupada smiled and answered showing great faith in Lord Krsna,

''Oh yes Krsna was so kind He immediately DID help me, it was Krsna who sent the the Doctor with the penicillin that healed my infected finger''.

The lesson here is, it is not that Krsna has to personally appear and wave some magic wand to instantly heal His devotee, no, it does not work that way -

''God helps those who do everything they can to help themselves''

This is the secret of spiritual life.

  • Because of ignorance in the United States by the so called educated class, nearly 650,000 people have died from Covid-19 in just 18 months.

    As from today 5th September 2021, 1800 people, mostly unvaccinated, are dying every day!!

    And still these so called "educated idiots" are dying because they refuse vaccinations.

    Vaccines are free, GET VACCINATED!!

    Here all new projects are put on hold and money is diverted to pay for vaccines and the wages of those in lock down.

    Therefore all tax payers are also getting paid for being in lock down too.

    The point is, there is no silly nonsense conspiracy going on from the "so called nonsense BIG Farmacy" which is just a fantasy nonsense made up by the Anti-Vaxers who rant on with so much rubbish.

    The fact is the ONLY way out of this pandemic is getting vaccinated.

    And here it will be compulsory if you want attend shops, fly on planes, trains and Buses and even attending Churches, Mosques, Synagogues and ISKCON Temples.

    And I agree with that 100% and so does ISKCON here who had NO ONE at Janmastami and Prabhupada's appearance day because of Government lock down.

    And this is necessary to protect society from this Covid-19 pandemic.
