We Need Real Leaders Now, Not Hypsters
Our current slate of leaders all over the world are highly incompetent and unqualified to guide the human society because they do not understand the basic principles of existence, how the human society can live in a state of perfect harmony with the source of its existence and thus enjoy universal peace and prosperity. There is one thing however that they very expert in. And that is the art of hype. So what we need now more than ever on this planet is leaders, not hypsters, because when the blind lead the lead there is only one place where they will all end up. And that is in the ditch. So this then is our mission. We want to train a class of leaders all over the world who are fully conversant with the ultimate self realization science and are thus fully competent to guide the human society how to live in perfect harmony with the source of all existence, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: Why Do People Say that Their God is the Only Real God?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really love whatever you tell us about Lord Sri Krishna. I also understand that we have to obey the spiritual rule of surrendering to Him. Why do the members of all the religions in the world say that their God is the only real God? Secondly. why don't we claim ourselves to be good human beings rather then claiming ourselves as Hindus, Muslims, Christians, etc.

Answer: Because They are Lacking in Common Sense
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even though God is indeed one, many people who claim to be religious think that only someone in their religion can approach Him. This really does not make any sense because God is the father of all living beings. Whether I address Him in English as God, in Sanskrit as Krishna, or in Arabic as Allah, I am still praying to the same person. It never ceases to amaze me that so many people do not understand that God is multilingual. They must think that He only understands their language and nobody else's. If even an ordinary human being can be multi-lingual, why can't God be multi-lingual? Anybody with a little common sense can understand this. It is obvious then that these wranglers who think that God can be only by addressed by the name they call Him, are completely lacking in common sense.
You mentioned the "good human beings", but I do not see where are the good human beings nowadays when practically everyone is engaged in all varieties of sinful activities such as cow killing, baby killing, and torturing Mother earth by destroying the environment. Although they try to hide behind the cloak of "I'm a Hindu", "I'm a Muslim", "I'm a Christian", etc their sinful activities are being observed by higher authorities and they will be held accountable for them at the time of death. The way to our becoming good and perfect human beings is by identifying ourselves instead as servants of God and striving diligently to becoming perfect in our service to Him.

Great Spiritual Masters are Persecuted
Throughout world history it has been repeatedly seen that those who realize the Supreme Truth manifest great kindness upon the suffering souls of this world and thus powerfully broadcast the message of the Supreme Truth as far and as wide as possible to as many people as possible. And sadly such great spiritual masters are too often criticized and persecuted. The notable examples in this connection are Lord Jesus Christ and Hari Das Thakur. In an attempt to put him to death Lord Jesus was crucified. And in a similar attempt Haridas Thakur was severely beaten in twenty-two different market places. But in both cases these great devotees were protected by the Lord and could not be killed.
So we can similarly expect that sometimes in our efforts to share Krishna consciousness with those who are not so fortunate as to have it yet that we may sometimes be criticized, harassed, and persecuted. When this happens to us it is a real test of how serious we actually are to do whatever it takes to please our most beloved Lord Krishna, even if we have to be put into displeasing and difficult situations.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:
My Dear Guru Maharaja,
In a Gurukula class one of the students asked, "Why do the Japa beads have 108 beads and not any other figure?"
Your humble Servant,
Answer: 108 Upanisads and 108 Gopis
We have 108 beads because there are 108 Upanisads. By this chanting on the 108 beads we have surpassed the study of 108 Upanisads by realizing the conclusion of the 108, namely to be absorbed in the devotional service of Lord Sri Krishna.
Also there are 108 gopis in Vrindavan who are especially dear to Krishna. So by chanting on these 108 beads we are serving those 108 chief gopis. Serving Krishna's devotees is essential because becoming a devotee of Krishna means to become a devotee of the devotees of Krishna.
