That nobody controls you

That nobody controls you, by Haripada dasa
I share that when I left Iskcon in 2008 I prayed to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that please bless me so that if I feel that someone wants to control me that they immediately break the relationship with that person, I want to live free and happy in Krishna consciousness, and by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna has been like that, I have had to break relationships with people who pretended to be friends, but from behind they criticized me and wanted to control me, now by the grace of Srila Prabhupada and from Krishna I feel free and happy in Krishna consciousness.
I'm going to tell a very interesting story, after Srila Prabhupada entered his samadhi lila, Tamal Krishna invented that no one can go to Srila Prabhupada unless he receives my mercy, the other gurus thought that if this invention of Tamal Krishna succeeds we will not We will have disciples, so all the gurus stayed with Tamal Krishna to talk to him in Los Angeles at Nrisimhananda's house.
There Tamal Krishna said that in reality Srila Prabhupada did not leave anyone as a guru, but ordered us to initiate people in the name of Srila Prabhupada, in an artificial way we have become gurus because we have the desire to control the People, that statement did not like anyone and they said that we are all gurus here, we are going to break all the tapes that have recorded this conversation, but a devotee kept the tape without anyone noticing and that is why these things are known.
So the desire to control others is very strong in this world, I heard that in USA Obama wanted to put a chip to all US citizens to control them, thanks to the Evangelists who leaned on the Bible saying that what he wants to do Obama is the mark of the devil and that is prophesied in the Bible, and that stopped that idea.
It is not the same to be controlled by a person full of lust, greed and anger than to be controlled by Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, the control of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna is full of pure goodness and transcendental love, that control is very pleasant, one He feels that it is an instrument in His hands, and all that one does is full of pure goodness and transcendental love, there is no false ego and one acts in his constitutional position as the eternal servant of Krishna and His devotees.

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 Kṛṣṇa's pure consciousness, can receive easily all the perfections desired by the 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 from being understood 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 the impersonal Brahman.
And in the Bhagavad-Gita, 18, 37 to 39 it is said that what at first may be like a poison but that in the end is like a nectar, and that 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 that at first seems to be a nectar but in the end seems to be poison, is said to be of the nature of passion. And the happiness that ignores self-realization, which is a hoax from beginning to end, and that comes from sleep, laziness and illusion, it is said to be of the nature of ignorance.
Please sing the Maha-Mantra Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, and be happy.

Patience, humility and respect

Patience, humility and respect, by Haripada dasa
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that in this world of ignorance, which is contrary to serving God or Krishna, full of trials and tribulations, only patience, humility and respect for others are our friends to do devotional service to God or Krishna and His representatives.
About patience I am very clear that only people who live in the mode of goodness can have it, people who live in the modes of passion and ignorance cannot be patient. Srila Prabhupada also speaks of this quality in the Nectar of Instruction, verse 3.
On humility, Srila Prabhupada says the Gita, 13, 8 that humility means that one should not be anxious to have the satisfaction of being honored by others. Another point is that although one can do wonderful things to please God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada, one understands that this is all pure mercy of God or Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
About respect there is a very beautiful verse in the Bhagavatam, 5, 5, 26, this verse was spoken by the incarnation of Krishna called Risabadeva to his children, there he says that dear children of mine, you should not be envious of any living entity, nor mobile Not even. Knowing that I am in them, they should offer respect to all at all times. In that way, you will offer Me respect.

Simple life and high thinking

Simple life and high thinking, by Haripada dasa
 By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada we understand and accept that by leading a simple life with high thoughts we are happy in this material world and we are preparing to go back home to God.
 Simple life means that we need some clothes, a little prasada (prasada is the mercy of God, food offered to God), and a place to rest.
High thinking means to think God or Krishna and in the representative of God or Krishna Srila Prabhupada, and in all the acharyas or spiritual masters of the guru-parampara, in the Pañca Tattva and in Sri Radha Krishna, it also means thinking in doing good to the In addition, sending positive messages for people to reflect and try to raise their states of consciousness, it also means giving prasada to others, in the Vrindavana Food for Life program in India and in other parts of the world, millions have been given and millions of dishes of prasada.
That is pure spiritual life. Material life is the opposite, it means living to satisfy the body and mind, and it is based on selfishness, me and mine and not giving any food to the soul, never thinking about God or doing good to others, rather Always think of how to deceive others and the funnel law, how wide for me and narrow for others.
 Soon in the whole world we will celebrate the advent of the Saktyavesa Avatara Jesus Christ, it would be good to remember the essence of his teachings: "Love God above all things and your neighbor as yourself, do not do to others what you do not I would like them to do to you, and do to others what you would like them to do to you, if you have two blankets and you see that another does not have any, give him a blanket and share what you have with others, so you will free yourself from the envies and selfishness, also spoke that there is a Kingdom of God and that the goal of life is to return to the Kingdom of God. "
In relation to Christians, Srila Prabhupada said that if Christians worshiped the Deities and obeyed Jesus Christ's command not to kill, they would become devotees of God or Krishna.

The Cathars

The Cathars, by Haripada dasa
If you put on Google the history of the Cathars is very interesting, the Cathars lived in the middle ages on farms, in the South of France and were vegetarians and had a lot of love and devotion for Jesus Christ, they practiced simple life with high thoughts.
When the Catholic religion learned that the Cathars were influencing all of Europe, they killed them all.
In this material world there is nothing new under the I Am and history repeats itself again and again, God or Krishna moved by His great mercy comes to this material world to invite us to return to the spiritual world and also sends His representatives to do what same, but very few people take advantage of this mercy.
And when God or Krishna and His representatives leave, demonic people destroy everything these people have done.
Srila Prabhupada came and the demonic people have destroyed his movement, thanks to Srila Prabhupada and Krishna that there are still serious and sincere people who are accustomed to depend on the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna, and who with their personal example preach the conscience of Pure Krishna
It is very interesting what Srila Prabhupada says in the Bhagavatam, 9, 24, 59. There he says that if they act like this it is because they are vimūḍhas, scoundrels. For an ephemeral happiness, people waste their human energy, and instead of understanding the importance of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, they accuse the simple devotees of brainwashing. Demons can throw false accusations against those of us who preach the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, but Kṛṣṇa will cause them to engage in a war in which both sides use all their military power and destroy themselves.
And Srila Prabhupada also said that after the war people will realize that materialism and atheism is not good and they will feel more interested in hearing about Krishna consciousness.

My mind is already Vrindavana

My mind is already Vrindavana
I share this very ecstatic verse from Chaitanya Charitamrita, Madhya 13,137
TEXT 137
anyera hṛda ya-mana, mora mana-vṛndāvana,
'mane' 'vane' eka kari' jāni
tāhāṅ tomāra pada-dvaya, karāha yadi udaya,
tabe tomāra pūrṇa kṛpā māni
SYNONYMS
anyera—of others; hṛdaya—consciousness; mana—mind; mora mana—My mind; vṛndāvana—Vṛndāvana consciousness; mane—with the mind; vane—with Vṛndāvana; eka kari'-as one and the same; jāni—I know; tāhāṅ—there, at Vṛndāvana; tomāra—Your; pada-dvaya—two lotus feet; karāha—You do; yadi—if; udaya—appearance; tabe—then; tomāra—Your; pūrṇa—complete; kṛpā—mercy; māni—I accept.
TRANSLATION
Speaking in the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Caitanya Mahāprabhu said, " 'For most people, the mind and heart are one, but because My mind is never separated from Vṛndāvana, I consider My mind and Vṛndāvana to be one. My mind is already Vṛndāvana, and since You like Vṛndāvana, will You please place Your lotus feet there? I would deem that Your full mercy.
PURPORT
Only when the mind is free from designations can one desire the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The mind must have some occupation. If a person is to be free of material things, his mind cannot be vacant; there must be subject matters for thinking, feeling and willing. Unless one's mind is filled with thoughts of Kṛṣṇa, feelings for Kṛṣṇa and a desire to serve Kṛṣṇa, the mind will be filled with material activities. Those who have given up all material activities and have ceased thinking of them should always retain the ambition to think of Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa, one cannot live, just as a person cannot live without some enjoyment for his mind.
Link to this page: https://prabhupadabooks.com/cc/madhya/13/137
I share this song by Srila Narottama Thakura entitled Lalasamayi Prarthana, there it says that as long as the mind is too absorbed in materialistic thoughts, one cannot enter the kingdom of Vrindavana. But Narottama dasa Thakura says visaya chadiya kabe suddha ha'be mana kabe hama herabo sri-vrindavana: “When my mind has been completely purified, freeing itself from material anxieties and desires, I will be able to understand Vrindavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krishna ; Then, my spiritual life will know success.

Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna, I am sending you a message sent to me here, do you know that person? Every day you understand people less, finding a balanced person today is so difficult, that is why I always say that my best friends in consciousness Krishna's are those who share with me the teachings of Srila Prabhupada.
We must not be sentimental or fanatical, when someone sends us something strange we must respond right away, I will give 3 examples of this.
1- Hamsaduta sent me a message that talked about an economics blog, my big mistake was not telling him what this has to do with Srila Prabhupada and Krishna consciousness, 2- another sent me a message saying Hitler was a saktyavesa avatara, I also made the mistake of not telling him that where Srila Prabhupada says that, and 3 there I answered, someone sent me a message saying if I thought Srila Prabhupada was a fake guru, that message felt very bad and I replied that Give me your address from the asylum where you are admitted and I will send you maha-prasada from Jagannatha Puri to see if your madness is cured.
The point here is that we are in the era of hypocrisy and quarrel, I always try to act in a very personal and fearless way, because I have nothing to lose, many people have sent my devotional life, so they know me , there I say that if you want you can send me your devotional life so that I know you, the majority did not answer anything, that means that the person is thinking that who you are to know me, pride.
Another very important point is that there are people who glorify you, I have come to the conclusion that they are not glorifying you, but that they are making fun of you, so Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada always said that he who glorifies me is my enemy.
And that is why we are not united, because there is no humility, mercy, patience or respect.
