Most amazing

 

Most amazing, by Haripada dasa

Once a great sage asked King Maharaja Yudisthir what is the most amazing thing there is, and the King replied that you see that relatives, friends and other people die, but one thinks that I will never die.

Usually people do not like to talk about death because they are very afraid, it is said that the devotee of God or Krishna experiences God through devotional service and that materialists and atheists experience God at the time of death. I remember a video of Srila Prabhupada speaking with some theologians and Srila Prabhupada telling them that God will come like death, and all his money, his prestige, his family, etc. It will be taken away, do you understand God now? God or Krishna says in the Bhagavat gita that I am death, I remember that in the fourth song of Srimad Bhagavatam to Maharaja Dhruva a plane from the spiritual world came for him and taking advantage that the personification of death came, he put his feet on the head of death to get on the plane, so until death he takes pleasure in serving the devotee of God or Krishna.

It is very interesting that the personification of death is represented as a skeleton with a harvest, that is to remind us that what you sow, harvest, in other words each person is the architect of his destiny, each one has what he deserves. , and God or Krishna also says that this material world is a place of suffering and temporary, someone can argue that I have a lot of money, women, material enjoyment, yachts, etc., that you have because you deserve it because surely in your life In the past you did many pious activities, but do not forget that everything is temporary. God or Krishna has created everything, therefore everything belongs to God or Krishna, as Srila Prabhupada always said that a person is honest and honest when he uses everything to serve God or Krishna and His devotees.

The process of God or Krishna consciousness is a scientific process, and it is for very brave people who want to raise their consciousness to a higher state, unhappily nowadays people think that God or Krishna things have already gone out of style. , now we are going to live full of lust, anger, greed, envy, pride and ignorance, and we are going to suffer and be deceived, that is true happiness, and out of envy they criticize and say that the devotees of God or Krishna are parasites of society, they do nothing for the country, for the family, always chanting The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota), it is said that in the paradise of the foolish and ignorant, being a wise man is great foolishness.

Everyone has a chance here

 

Everyone has a chance here, by Haripada dasa

Here in the process of Krishna consciousness everyone has the opportunity to chant The Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J of jota), and be happy in Krishna consciousness, here there is neither discrimination nor exploitation, everyone has the opportunity to lead a pure and sinless life, for that you have to follow the 4 regulative principles, 1, do not eat meat , fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with one's wife, 3, no gambling, and 4, no tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., all have the opportunity to be initiated by a disciple of Srila Prabhupada who initiates in the name of Srila Prabhupada, there is no place for opportunists or to climb ranks here, here we are all friends and humble servants of each other, we are all friends and spiritual brothers and sisters , and the one who has the most capacity to serve, we accept as l Natural der, of course we follow the spiritual label which says that the senior devotee with more experience gives his mercy to the minor devotee, and the minor devotee is grateful and respects the senior devotee, everyone has the opportunity to follow all the instructions given in Srila Prabhupada's books, and helping each other do the same, by doing this we live with Srila Prabhupada and acquire his qualities. Our love and service is for Srila Prabhupada, and we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the authorized person who is going to take us back home, back to Krishna.

Here we are not interested in the opinions of an ordinary person, ordinary people have four types of defects, the first defect is that they tend to make mistakes, another defect is being in illusion, the third defect is the propensity to deceive and finally our senses they are imperfect. Any opinion that is not the revealed truth, lacks all value, the revealed truth means, the truth, or scripture that comes from a reliable source, the chain of disciplic succession formed by genuine spiritual teachers is the reliable source; for these people are pure and self-realized souls, and they are free from the four defects mentioned above. Here nobody speculates, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious way without relying on the Guru, Sadhu and Sastra. Only the original books of Srila Prabhupada are used here, we are totally against all the changes that have been made to the original books of Srila Prabhupada. Here we have full faith that Srila Prabhupada is the way, the truth and the life, and if someone goes back home back to God or Krishna, it is by the mercy of Srila Prabhupada.

I am that inhabitant of Vrindavana

 

I am that inhabitant of Vrindavana, by Haripada dasa

Once a disciple of Lokanatha swami told me that his guru had told him that he once told Srila Prabhupada that you say in your books that to get into the mood of Vrindavana we have to follow in the footsteps of an inhabitant of Vrindavana, but I I do not know any inhabitant of Vrindavana, and Srila Prabhupada told him THAT I AM THAT INHABITANT OF VRINDAVANA.

The whole problem in Iskcon and outside of Iskcon is the poor realization that people have of understanding and accepting what and who Srila Prabhupada is. Srila Prabhupada is a SAKTYAVESA AVATARA, A NITYA SIDDHA, THE MOR SENA PATI THE COMMANDER IN HEAD OF THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU, THE ACHARYA OF OUR DISCIPULAR SUCCESSION WHO SAID THE CAVESAMENT OF SENA, WHICH SAID THE CAUSAM NOSAMARI DEL NESTABLECERANY TO ESTABLISH CARE KRISHNA WILL BE SING IN EVERY TOWN AND VILLAGE, THE ACHARYA THAT HAS MOST EXPANDED THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF KRISHNA ALL OVER THE WORLD, THE ACHARYA THAT THROUGH ITS BOOKS WILL BE THE ACHARYA FOR THE NEXT 10,000 YEARS. Now why do people not understand or accept this, because instead of obeying Srila Prabhupada they offend him, if a person obeys Srila Prabhupada and chants his 16 rounds, he follows the 4 regulative principles and does Srila Prabhupada a service with faith. , love, attachment and gratitude, Krishna or God will be very happy with that person and from the heart will give him the ability to LOVE KRISHNA OR GOD AND EVERYONE, TO GIVE MERCY TO THE INNOCENTS, HE WILL GIVE THE LOVE TO THE DEMONS AVOIDING THEM AND WILL DO FRIENDSHIP WITH THE TRUE DEVOTERS. Only good souls who have sacrificed their lives to make Srila Prabhupada, God or Krishna happy gives them the intelligence to understand what and who Srila Prabhupada is.

Today there are very unfortunate people, people who think that they are on the same level as Srila Prabhupada, (SPIRITUAL SUPERMANS) people who are very sick of the soul, and who do not believe in God or Krishna, nor in Srila Prabhupada, nor in the law of karma. These people are called mayavadis, and anyone who comes into contact with such people their spiritual life is ruined. The fate of those people is very dark.

We all know what Srila Prabhupada wants from us, that we chant our 16 rounds of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra without offense, that we follow the 4 regulative principles very strictly, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with one's wife, 3, no gambling, and 4, no tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., that we lead an honest life without deceiving ourselves or others , that we establish personal relationships with other devotees based on love and trust, that we do not change the message of the guru-parampara, that we do not fight among ourselves, that we free ourselves from sexual attraction by experiencing a higher taste or in other words may we be HAPPY IN KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS, SARVE SUKHINO BHAVANTU.

That the Jagat-guru, the Savior of the fallen, Saktyavesa Avatara, MOR SENA PATI, THE COMMANDER IN HEAD OF THE SPIRITUAL FORCES OF SRI GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU, A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA bless you and protect you all.

Extra education

 Extra education, by Haripada dasa

I share this beautiful verse from The Bhagavad Gita, 9, 2, there it says that this spiritual knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets, it is the purest knowledge, and because it gives perception of the self through enlightenment, it is the perfection of religion, it is eternal and it is joyfully executed. Following in the footsteps of our spiritual master Srila Prabhupada I try to state the facts very logically, nowadays finding a balanced person is very difficult to say that finding a pure devotee of God, usually people are so absorbed in life material that they forget to feed the soul, the result of this is that people live full of anxieties and disturbed, a person full of anxieties and disturbed will never experience peace or happiness.

The other day a friend told me that now in Spain they are introducing meditation in schools, they see that children so young are so full of anxieties and disturbed that meditation will at least calm their mind. But they don't know what true meditation is, true meditation means finding God who is in the heart and following his instructions, the result of this is that one becomes divine. We urgently need extra education, spiritual education, the first lesson is to understand and accept that we are not the material body, but eternal spirit souls, and that the relationship with the body is temporary, but the relationship with God or Krishna is eternal and full of bliss. and knowledge. In the spiritual world there are three things, there is God or Krishna, there are his devotees and there is the love relationship between God or Krishna and His devotees, the spiritual world is our natural environment, the material world is the perverted reflection of the spiritual world, therefore Because here people live full of anxieties and disturbed, it is as if you took a fish out of the water and gave it all the material facilities, the fish would never be happy since its environment is water. The goal of human life is to know and love God and go back home to God.

There is a big difference between a teacher and a spiritual master, the teacher is paid a salary to give certain information, but the spiritual master is empowered and authorized by God or Krishna to bring people back to Godhead, of course provided that the disciple obeys his instructions.

The Three Kinds of Happiness

 

The Three Kinds of Happiness, by Haripada dasa

This information is in the Nectar of Devotion, chapter 1:

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī has analyzed the different sources of happiness. He has divided happiness into three categories, which are: 1) happiness derived from material enjoyment, 2) happiness derived from identifying with the Supreme Brahman, and 3) happiness derived from Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

In Tantra-śāstra, Lord Śiva speaks to his wife, Satī, in this way: "My dear wife, a person who has surrendered to the lotus feet of Govinda and who has developed pure Kṛṣṇa consciousness, can receive easily all the perfections desired by impersonalists; and beyond this, he can enjoy the happiness attained by pure devotees. "

Happiness derived from pure devotional service is the highest because it is eternal. But the happiness derived from material perfection or understanding as Brahman is inferior because it is temporary. There is no way to prevent one from falling from material happiness, and there is even every chance of falling from spiritual happiness derived from identifying with impersonal Brahman.

And in the Bhagavad-Gita, 18, 37 to 39 it is said that what at first may be like poison but which in the end is like nectar, and which awakens one in self-realization, is said to be happiness in the plane of the mode of goodness. The happiness that comes from the contact of the senses with their objects, and which at first appears to be nectar but at the end appears to be poison, is said to be of the nature of passion, and happiness that ignores self-realization, that it is a delusion from beginning to end, and that it proceeds from sleep, laziness, and illusion, is said to be of the nature of ignorance.

The devotees

 

The devotees, by Haripada dasa

Hare Krishna if you put on youtube to look for this link, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d20NhSifd7A

You will get the Ratha yatra from Puri, filmed by a TV in the USA, very nice, hd.

Hare Krishna, with love and trust I share what Srila Prabhupada said in Sri Radha Damodara in Vrindavana, Kartika 1972: APPRECIATION, Narada Muni says that the devotee always appreciates the qualities of other devotees, yes, that is the sign, appreciation of the activities of the devotees, a devotee who is currently liberated from all contaminations does not find any fault with other devotees, he does not think of himself as a great devotee, or greater than others, he thinks of himself as the most low of all, as the author of The Chaitanya Charitamrita, Krishna dasa Kaviraj says that I am as low as the insect that lives in the excrement, I am more sinful than Jagai and Madhai, whoever takes my name, immediately all the results of his pious activities fade away, it is not imitation, any devotee who is currently advanced, he feels it, just as the great scientist Sir Isaac Newton used to say that I have simply collected a few grains d e sand of the ocean of knowledge, indeed that is a fact, everything is unlimited, so no one should be proud that they have become a great devotee, everyone should be very humble, trinad api sunichena, taror api sahisnuna, amanena manadena, kirtaniya sada hari, if one thinks that he has become a very advanced devotee, that is very dangerous, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that my spiritual master saw me as a great fool, therefore he has punished me, do not read the Vedanta Sutra, sings Hare Krishna, He introduced himself in that way, he is Caitanya Mahaprabhu murka, fool, that concept has an advanced devotee, he never thinks he is a very advanced devotee, what is it to be advanced, the devotion that we can offer him to Krishna, He is unlimited, He kindly accepts our service, that is all, do not take pride in becoming a great devotee, that will be a first class fall.

Once a brahmachari devotee or celibate monk had an affair with a woman, when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati found out he told him to leave the temple, and when the devotee was leaving the other devotees began to insult him by saying that you are a fallen, a deceiver, etc. , when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati saw this he admonished his disciples and told them that I thought you were merciful people, and on another occasion a devotee had some discussions with other devotees and left the temple, when Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati found out he told the devotees that They went to look for him all over Calcutta, the devotees knew that he was an expert in fixing watches and they went to all the watch shops, at last they found him and the crying devotee told them that he was very sorry for the separation of the devotees and he went to live with devotees.

Srila Prabhupada always said that all the chaos that the Earth lives is due to the lack of serious and sincere devotees of God or Krishna, in the Adi Purana God or Krishna tells Arjuna that whoever says that he is My devotee, that is not My devotee, but the one who says that he is My devotee of My devotee of My devotee, that yes is My devotee, and in the Padma Purana Lord Siva tells his wife Parvati that the highest worship is to serve God or Krishna, but higher than that is serving the devotees of God or Krishna.

Glories to Srila Jayananda Prabhu

 

Glories to Srila Jayananda Prabhu

We celebrate the disappearance of Srila Jayananda Prabhu, I share this glorification of Jayananda Prabhu, this great devotee is the example of the perfect disciple of Srila Prabhupada, this great devotee will be a great inspiration for future generations of devotees of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, just as I I understand, the essence of this great soul is that all he did was for Srila Prabhupada to be happy, and he never did anything that displeased Srila Prabhupada, he was not a politician, I like him, he is my friend, he falls for me wrong, is my enemy, was humble, tolerant and everyone's friend, and never criticized anyone, Srila Prabhupada said that I am very proud to have had a disciple as good as Jayananda prabhu, everyone should follow his example. This great devotee enjoyed serving Srila Prabhupada and Krishna and the whole world, and that is the perfection of Krishna consciousness, that can only be done when one has awakened his great love for Srila Prabhupada and Krishna. As I understand it, only people who have sacrificed their lives to make Srila Prabhupada happy can receive the mercy of Krishna, if you want see a video about Jayananda Prabhu this is the link:
