First class people

First class people, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada always said that the movement for Krishna consciousness means that we are trying to create first class people, the qualities of these people are: "Serenity, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty , knowledge, wisdom and religiosity ". These qualities are developed by obeying the instructions of a guru, the representative of God or Krishna, the result of obeying an authentic guru is that one lives with him and acquires his qualities.
At the end of Srimad Bhagavatam it is said that in this Kali-yuga era, the present age is an ocean of errors and defects, but there is only one good quality, that by chanting the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare (the H is read as J de jota), one will have so much spiritual strength that it will counteract all the negative that there is in this age.
Everyone can see that the current religions are a deception, Srila Prabhupada always said that religion without philosophy is sentimentalism or fanaticism, that is why Srila Prabhupada made 80 books of 400 pages each, there everyone can understand and accept that Krishna is God, that He has unlimited Names, Forms, Qualities and Pastimes, no religious literature has that information. About the current politicians .... Srila Prabhupada says in his books that those who fear these infernal leaders who take refuge in this process of Krishna consciousness, about the merchants ... Srila Prabhupada always said that this society is deceitful and deceived, deceiving oneself and others is the most difficult thing to purify in the spiritual life.

The 26 qualities of a pure devotee of God or Krishna, 3rd Part

The 26 qualities of a pure devotee of God or Krishna, 3rd Part, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
I'm going to put this message in three parts
17- He does not eat more than he needs: Srila Prabhupada said that if one eats too much, he will have to sleep more, and if one sleeps more than 6 hours a day is influenced by ignorance, most Hindus are skinny , but they have an inconceivable energy.
18- He is always prudent: In the Sriman Bhagavatam, ninth chant, chapter 16 it is said that Parasurama's father, Jamadagni, told his younger son Parasurama to kill his brothers, for having disobeyed his order and his mother for having been infidel mentally, Lord Parasurama knowing the power of his father, teacher in the art of meditation and austerity, immediately killed his mother and his brothers, Jamadagni, the son of Satyavati was very pleased with Parasurama and invited him to ask Whatever blessing you desire, Lord Parasurama asked that my mother and my brothers live again and not remember that I killed them, that is the blessing that he requested and Srila Prabhupada in the meaning says that it does not matter if we are Kartavyryarjuna, Jamadagni or Parasurama , or whoever, we must act with great prudence and sagacity, otherwise, we will have to suffer the results of sinful activities, that is the lesson we receive from the Vedic scriptures s.
19 - He is always respectful of others: Srila Gaura Kisora ​​das babhaji always said that all living entities are worthy of my adoration.
20- He does not demand respect for himself: Srila Prabhupada said that we should not demand respect from others, but inspire respect.
21- He is serious: It is said that the devotee of Krishna is so grave that it is very difficult to know his plans and his mentality, even the most intelligent people get confused when they see the words, activities and thoughts of the pure devotees of God.
22- He is merciful .: The symptom of a merciful person is that he is very tolerant.
23- He is friendly: A nickname of Maharaja Yudisthir is that he never created any enemy, the devotee of God or Krishna is so friendly that he even prays to God for his enemies and Srila Visvanatha Cakravatti Thakura says that this is the sign of a paramahansa , who wishes good even to his enemy.
24- He is poetic: Srila Prabhupada says in a class that poetry is not that he writes poetry, but writes spiritual literature.
25- He is an expert: I remember that in the Nectar of devotion he says that the expert person is the one who does the most difficult thing, the most difficult thing to do in this world is to convert people to devotees of Krishna, once they asked Srila Prabhupada that the great saints always perform miracles and what is your miracle, Srila Prabhupada replied you see all these people, before they were crows, now they are swans, I convert crows into swans, that is why Srila Prabhupada said that only one Pure devotee can make pure devotees, the pseudo devotee can not, worldly people envy the pure devotee of Krishna, seeing him so expert in everything.
26- He is silent: Srila Prabhupada said that the silent person is the one who sings the 24 hours of Hare Krishna day and preaches the glories of the Lord.

Food for life

Food for life, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
Srila Prabhupada founded the food for life program in 1972. Since then, millions and millions of prasada dishes have been distributed throughout the world. Prasada means vegetarian foods offered to God or Krishna. I have now been two months in the food for life program in Vrindavana, India, we have 3 schools with 1500 students, a hospital, 12 water wells, we have 280 people on the payroll and every month we have them he pays 40,000 euros, all this has been done by a devotee called Rupa, he is from Italy but became a devotee of Krishna in England, he spent several years in Iskcon, Iskcon means the international association for Krishna consciousness, founded by Srila Prabhupada In 1966, Iskcon told Rupa to put several Iskcon Gurus as leaders of their projects, but Rupa said no because he had very bad experiences with his guru, so Rupa legalized his projects with the Government of India without have nothing to do with Iskcon, but of the 1500 students 1300 of them are sponsored by devotees of Iskcon, this is a great proof that serving Srila Prabhupada without belonging to Iskcon can do wonderful things to co please to Srila Prabhupada.
The projects of Vrindavana carried by Rupa are full of love, joy and solidarity, and thanks to these projects one perceives that there are very good people in the world, if not for the donations of those people we could not do anything, we have associations in Spain , France, England, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Australia, etc., that collaborate with these projects.
